Dine alfresco under half a dozen jabuticaba trees, or inside this gorgeous converted vintage house where the tree-boughs are allowed to wind freely through the airy space. Chef Filomena Chiarella has gained legions of followers for her authentic recipes, learned in her native Basilicata, in Italy’s balmy south. Chiarella’s signature dishes include artisanal gnocchi and the delicious jabuticaba ice cream (R$8), served while the delicious purple fruits are in season.
