“Pizzeria e trattoria” Domenico is in Savassi<br />
area in Belo Horizonte, capital of Minais Gerais.<br />
Campinas, the principal town of<br />
the district with the same name in the<br />
State of Sao Paolo.<br />
“Our cuisine”, the restaurant-owner from<br />
Catania continues, “is basically Sicilian.<br />
Penne con bottarga [fish-eggs], spaghetti<br />
with black cuttlefish ink, rabbit in sweetand-sour<br />
sauce, goat meat, swordfish,<br />
tuna fish and cannoli [cream horns] are<br />
the proposals that grace the hundred-plus<br />
places of our restaurant, using only Italian<br />
labels”. In the wine-cellar, in fact, are more<br />
than two hundred labels from the Valle<br />
d’Aosta to Sicily.<br />
“In Brazil”, Lodato continues, “there are<br />
a lot of Italian restaurants, but adapted<br />
to Brazilian taste. They are soulless<br />
eating-places, sometimes even good<br />
to look at, but without soul. We, on the<br />
other hand, represent Sicilian and Italian<br />
enogastronomy, a real, authentic cuisine<br />
without half-measures”. It is by no chance<br />
that La Campagna boasts the Ospitalità<br />
Italiana label, a certificate promoted by<br />
ISNART (National Institute for Tourism<br />
Research) and the Chamber of Commerce<br />
