Speranza

Top choice in São Paulo


One of the oldest and most traditional pizzerias in the Italian neighborhood of Bixiga, where the Tarallo family has been serving serious pizza since 1958. Perfect meal: the life-changing bruschetta appetizer, followed by an excellent, fiercely traditional margarita pizza. No, wait, those calzones are insanely good, too. Oh, nevermind. It's an easy walk from Av Paulista/Brigadeiro Metrô.
