Inaugurated on December 10, Mata Città occupies a 1,600 m² area, distributed among seven interconnected projects. Each space has its own identity, but all share Mediterranean references and an ambiance inspired by Italian cinema from the 1960s and 1970s, expressed through light, color, and architectural composition.

Integrated into the complex housing the Rosewood São Paulo hotel, Casa Bradesco, and Soho House club, Mata Città adds to the ensemble as a more accessible space, aimed at both regular visitors of the region and guests interested in gastronomic experiences associated with architecture.
The projects take visitors on a scenic journey through Italy – each with a unique aesthetic language, but similar menus! The Dolce Vita starts the route with a proposal focused on coffee, brunch, sweets, and gelatos, in a bright space with soft colors and nostalgic visual references. The Capo emerges in half-light, inspired by great Roman bars marked by theatricality. The Conde pays homage to Francisco Matarazzo, merging industrial elements, tapestries, and historical portraits in a saloon reminiscent of a living museum of Italian immigration.

The Cucina is a emporium where the artisanal gains a luxury status: hand-cut cheeses, aged meats, and shelves filled with Italian products make up the dynamic scenario. For those who prefer the outdoors, the Terrazza evokes Mediterranean balconies, with flowing fabrics, colorful ceramics, and vegetation framing the space. The Positano, with walls adorned with bottles and amber lights, evokes the exuberance of the Amalfi Coast. Concluding the route, the winter garden Tivoli reveals a tropical soul, marked by bamboo, green trellises, and a mirrored ceiling that enhances the brightness.
Designed by the TOCA office, led by Malu Barretto, the architectural project works with the idea of sensoriality. Hand-painted murals, artisanal ceramics, photographs, lighting fixtures, and carefully curated objects create an environment marked by visual layers and contrasting textures.

Velvets, mirrors, vibrant colors, and generous volumes compose overlaps that invite lingering. The landscaping reinforces this perception by integrating climbing plants, sculptural pots, and suspended vegetation, creating a continuous connection between interior and exterior, city and nature.
The menu of Mata Città follows the city's rhythm and adapts to different times. The proposal, signed by Felipe Rodrigues, executive chef of the complex, and Thiago Saldiva, executive chef of the house, encompasses everything from breakfast and brunch to evening meals.

Thus, the kitchen includes pizzas, pastas, salads, grilled dishes, and desserts, totaling over 60 preparations. The recipes adhere to the Italian tradition without overdoing reinterpretation, prioritizing technique, well-selected ingredients, and generous portions. The pizzas and pastas are the stars of the menu, with prices starting from R$ 38.

Also, cocktails, crafted by Gabriel Bressane, head mixologist, and Carlos Franco, head bartender, engage with this repertoire freely, without a specific script for pairing. Additionally, the wine list features around 300 labels, with various origins, styles, and productions, forming a selection designed to accompany different moments of the dining experience.
