Terraço Itália, Italian restaurant on the 42nd floor of Edifício Itália, República, São Paulo, Brazil.
Terraço Itália is an Italian restaurant on the 42nd floor of Edifício Itália, sitting 165 meters above street level with floor-to-ceiling windows running around the entire perimeter. The space divides into four distinct rooms, each offering different sightlines and ways to experience the venue.
An Italian immigrant named Evaristo Comolatti founded the restaurant in 1967 after being struck by the building's design during its construction. Since opening, it has become an established place for quality dining that reflects the story of Italian immigration in the city.
The restaurant honors Italian cooking traditions while embracing Brazilian influences, which appears in dishes like capelletti in broth and the way drinks are crafted. This blend shows itself in the daily menu, where both culinary worlds meet.
It is wise to make a reservation ahead of time, as the restaurant often fills up due to its popularity. The best time to visit is in the evening, when the city lights begin to twinkle and the views become especially beautiful.
The restaurant features a special wine system that allows guests to bring their own bottles for a fee or select from a large collection. This system makes the experience particularly flexible and personal for wine lovers.
