fasano al mare restaurant is one of the most stylish and fashionable restaurants in rio de janeiro - it is the creation of french award-winner designer philippe starck, who designed this restaurant at the ultra-hip fasano luxury hotel on the ipanema beachfront.

located on the ground floor of the hotel, the floor-to-ceiling windows are perfect for people watching on ipanema beach - along with restaurateur rogério fasano, the kitchen is run by chef luca gozzani, who joined the team from the enoteca pinchiorri michelin three-star restaurant in florence.

the refined menu features all that mediterranean cuisine has to offer, with a special focus on seafood - the five-course menu offers well-crafted, modern dishes from the different regions of italy including umbria, piedmonte and sicila.

this michelin-star restaurant offers perfectly prepared pasta dishes like seafood ravioli with white wine sauce or spaghetti with fresh lamb, along with fresh fish prepared daily - breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the main dining area as well as on fasano al mare's inviting outdoor terrace.
