Piselli Sud

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Southern Italian Table in the Heart of São Paulo

Piselli Sud sits on the ground floor of Shopping Iguatemi on Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, one of São Paulo's most prominent addresses. The name itself points south — piselli are peas in Italian, a humble, honest ingredient that signals the kitchen's approach: rooted in the flavors of southern Italy rather than the grand gestures of fine dining.

The restaurant earned a Forchetta from Gambero Rosso in 2025, the Italian food and wine authority whose recognition carries particular weight when it comes to Italian cuisine abroad. That distinction places Piselli Sud among a select group of restaurants outside Italy that meet the guide's standards for authenticity and quality.

Located within a major retail and dining destination, Piselli Sud offers São Paulo diners a credible encounter with southern Italian cooking — a cuisine defined by simplicity, seasonal produce, and technique passed down rather than invented. The Iguatemi setting makes it accessible without diminishing the seriousness of what arrives at the table.

For anyone in São Paulo seeking Italian cuisine with a genuine southern accent and the backing of one of Italy's most respected culinary guides, Piselli Sud is a straightforward choice.
