Maremonti

Maremonti is a Brazilian restaurant chain specializing in Italian cuisine, particularly trattoria-style dishes and Neapolitan pizzas. The business operates multiple locations across São Paulo state and other regions, including the capital, Riviera de São Lourenço, Campinas, and Goiânia, targeting patrons in upscale neighborhoods. The company generates revenue through in-person dining and delivery services.

The first Maremonti restaurant opened in 2000 on the coast of São Paulo, in Riviera de São Lourenço. It was founded by Ricardo Trevisani and Juscelino Pereira. The chain expanded to the city of São Paulo in 2011. A pivotal moment in the company's trajectory occurred in 2013 when Arri Coser, a seasoned entrepreneur in the restaurant industry, became a shareholder, eventually acquiring 100% of the business. Coser, who co-founded and later sold the successful churrascaria chain Fogo de Chão, brought significant management expertise and a vision for expansion. His journey began in his youth, working various restaurant jobs before launching Fogo de Chão in 1979 and turning it into an international success.

The restaurant's name, Maremonti, translates to "sea and mountain," reflecting a menu concept based on ingredients from both. The business is known for its daily-made fresh pasta and its Neapolitan-style pizzas, which are certified by the Associazione Pizzaioli Napoletani (APN). Popular dishes include the Ravioli stuffed with rib meat in a mushroom sauce, Gnocchi with the chef's ragu, and the Zucchine pizza with brie and zucchini. The restaurant's quality has been recognized multiple times by the Michelin Guide between 2015 and 2019.
