2 Best Restaurants in Side Trips from São Paulo, Brazil

On the main street of Camburi, Candeeiro serves delicious Neapolitan-style pizza, as well as crepes. The little gallery where it is located has a very good ice-cream shop, Gelateria Parmalat, tucked at the back, so save room for dessert.

A traditional restaurant run by a Neopolitan chef, Mergellina serves good, fuss-free Italian fare. Try the Gorgonzola pasta with freshly baked Italian bread to start, followed by risotto Brasil, with heart of palm, zucchini, and mushrooms, and the chocolate and nut tart to finish.
