At the end of the 19th century, the abolition of slavery in Brazil coincided with the boom in coffee production. Just when the world demanded São Paulo’s coffee, the fields lacked any labourers. So millions of immigrants arrived, many from Italy, and the city now has a decidedly Italian flavour. Even the Portuguese spoken here has an Italian accent. And this is one of the few places outside Italy where the Italian restaurants are actually any good. Famiglia Mancini is always busy, and the atmosphere is a lot of fun.
