Shihoma Pasta Fresca

One of the most coveted addresses for those seeking quality fresh pasta at accessible prices — and it's no coincidence there's always a queue at the door! The project was started by chef Marcio Shihomatsu, a passionate devotee of Italian cooking, who began with home deliveries and, following the success of the service, opened a space in the buzzing neighbourhood of Vila Madalena. Today, he shares the kitchen with chef Joseph Lim, and together they prepare their artisan pasta fresh every day. The interior is compact, with an open kitchen that lets you watch the dishes being made, and there is a lovely outdoor area — perfect for enjoying a relaxed meal. Among the appealing options on the menu, the classic Tortelli di Gamberi deserves a special mention: it has been on offer since the restaurant first opened, and consists of delicate thin pasta filled with fresh pink prawns and served with butter. An essential order for anyone visiting this place!
