Picchi

If you have a craving for a good bowl of pasta, book a table at Picchi, an Italian restaurant located on the ground floor of the Regent Park hotel in the Jardins district with its upscale boutiques and art galleries. Here, chef Pier Paolo Picchi looks back to his childhood memories to create highly interesting cuisine that is showcased in enticing dishes based around classic Italian recipes and, in some cases, a more innovative approach that makes full use of the best seasonal Brazilian ingredients. The à la carte, which includes the traditional gnocchi, spaghetti, tortelli, pappardelle etc, is complemented by three set menus: one specially created for aficionados of Italian pasta called Tutto Pasta; a second called Tradizione; and a third (Picchi) which has more of a gastronomic feel. During the evening, the space takes on a more romantic atmosphere and offers a broad selection of Italian and French wines!
