With a sophisticated and intimate project, Donna, located in Jardim Paulista, is an elegant refuge to celebrate for two. The chef André Mifano signs the menu, which revisits classic Italian cuisine with bold and authorial touches.
For Valentine's Day, he proposes an experience that starts with raviolo di pappa al pomodoro served with grana padano fondue. Among the main dishes, highlight for the artisanal fettuccine with pink shrimp and squid in a mildly spicy pomodoro sauce. To sweeten, the suggestion is the two chocolates cake with marshmallow and raspberry, a combination that unites intensity and delicacy.
