Do people in Brazil love Italian cuisine ? Are there good Italian restaurants in Brazil ? « Of course . As I said , in Sao Paolo there ’ s the largest Italian community abroad , the influence of Italian tradition is thus very strong . Of course we speak about Italian food , but cooked with a Brazilian style ! There are at least three places offering excellent Italian cuisine : Salvatore Loi ’ s restaurant and Fasano ».
How would you define your cooking , and where do you get your inspiration from ? « I don ’ t think I have a style of my own yet . For sure I love travelling and learning about new products and techniques , so when I go back home I experiment in my kitchen . At 24 there ’ s still plenty to learn !».
