Gero

Joining sophistication and charm, Gero prepares the most classic recipes of the Italian cuisine in Rio. A national benchmark, the awarded restaurant with the headquarters in São Paulo is run by Rogério Fasano and preserves the Italian essence. The fresh pasta made to order helps to set the Italian mood. The project of the Mexican architect Aurélio Martinez Flores gives a rustic and sophisticated feel to the place. The apparent bricks, the bar and the straw chairs (a trademark of the house) mix together with photos of the old Rio hung on the walls.

Fresh asparagus cream with crayfish, juicy oven-baked shrimps with herbs crust, served with Ravioli filled with broccoli are good choices to feel like you were in Italy. For the dessert, order the oven-baked chocolate soufflé with cinnamon ice cream. Unmissable! Gero also has, at lunchtime, a special menu with more than 40 options.
