La Cucina di Piero

Wonderful place!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! Gleice and Piero are amazing!!!!!

There is a mystique about the place because it only opens for reservations once a year, which makes it "special". They only serve a maximum of 5 tables per night, which makes the restaurant more "exclusive". I found the place to be old and unmaintained. The service is very good. The dishes, however, are nothing special and the prices are very high for what is offered.

Don't be surprised when you arrive and don't find the restaurant: it's located in the home of Gleice and Piero, who is Italian from the city of Codogno, if I understood correctly lol 😬 Forgive my bad Italian! The idea is to welcome people as if it were your friend's house. In fact, the reception was very attentive from start to finish, and the atmosphere is cozy and charming, full of plants and flowers. Piero makes all the dishes, so don't be surprised if you try to reserve a table and don't have a date. They open their calendar twice a year and are open from Thursday to Saturday, but they also make some exceptions, as was the case yesterday. It's really hard to get a reservation, so much so that I made a reservation last year and even forgot the date. Thank you, Google Calendar for reminding me! 😂I found it very curious that the menu had so many options with shrimp. I'm not a big fan of seafood, so I thought there were few options without it. As a starter, we ordered bruschetta with onion and tomato sauce cooked for 5 hours, which was ready very quickly and had a very tasty sauce.For the main course, my friend ordered spaghetti with carbonara sauce, which was delicious and the pasta was cooked just right! 😋 Although I also really like carbonara, I decided to try the Casarecce di Gragnano with tomato sauce and pancetta, and there's nothing like homemade pasta and sauce, right?! The dish was very tasty, but I thought the pancetta was too fatty.To finish, we ordered the dessert of the conquest (strawberries in Sicilian lemon juice and fiordilatte gelato). The combination was perfect, light and not cloying, very tasty.As a courtesy, they gave us a liqueur made with tangerine peel, also made by Piero, which was surprising. 🤗💰 Prices: Bruschetta with onion and tomato sauce cooked for 5 hours: R$39.00 Spaghetti with carbonara sauce: R$85.00 Casarecce di Gragnano with tomato and pancetta sauce: R$85.00 Dessert of the Conquest (strawberries in Sicilian lemon broth and fiordilatte gelato): R$45.00 📍Where: Rua Cabrobó, 357 A - Sagrada Família

We went to Piero's house after a long wait and were happy with the meeting we had. We were very well attended to, the place is sensational and the food very good. I ordered a classic carbonara. The dessert had strawberries and ice cream and the starter was bruschetta with tomato sauce made by them. The starter doesn't look like a restaurant, it's Piero's house itself, so don't be scared.

Excellent.

Delightful experience: reception, service, location and food. I will definitely be back.

The busiest restaurant in Belo Horizonte, but worth every day of waiting. There is no better Italian restaurant in the city. Everything is special and unique, starters, main courses and desserts. The place is very charming and pleasant. The hosts are also incredible, very friendly and make us feel at home. I will make an effort to have the privilege of returning.

Pleasant and very welcoming atmosphere. Excellent food. Proposal for an intimate dinner. Pietro's wife was very attentive when serving us and introducing us to this experience. Artisanal food with incredible seasoning. I felt like I was in Italy.
