The story
In the busy Itaim Bibi neighborhood of São Paulo, Supra di Mauro Maia has built a reputation as one of the city's standout Italian restaurants. The name says it all: this is a chef-driven house, where the personality and standards of Mauro Maia himself set the tone for everything that comes out of the kitchen.
Excellence, transparency, and perfectionism are the values the restaurant puts forward — and they are expressed quite literally in the architecture. The walls separating the dining room from the kitchen are glass, so guests can watch the daily preparation of starters, mains, and desserts unfold in real time. It is a confident statement: there are no shortcuts here, and the team is comfortable being observed.
That commitment to craft has earned Supra di Mauro Maia recognition from Gambero Rosso, the authoritative Italian food and wine guide, which awarded the restaurant a Fork in its 2025 edition — a meaningful distinction for an Italian restaurant operating outside Italy.
The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner through the week, with a broader Sunday spread that stretches into the afternoon. For those who cannot make it to the table, Supra also offers delivery and takeaway through its own app, bringing the same Italian cooking to your door. The space welcomes families, making it a practical as well as pleasurable choice in one of São Paulo's most active dining districts.
Whether you are sitting in the dining room watching the kitchen at work or ordering in, Supra di Mauro Maia offers a consistent, uncompromising take on Italian food in São Paulo.
