Província di Salerno

What Província di Salerno does

Província di Salerno is a family-owned traditional Italian restaurant operating from a single location at Rua Maranhão, 18 in the Santa Efigênia neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Founded in 1983 by Chef Remo Peluso, the restaurant has been run continuously by the Peluso family for over 40 years, with second-generation operators Marcello and Isabella Peluso overseeing hospitality and Chef Bruno Peluso leading the kitchen. The interior is decorated with original Italian porcelain and objects imported from the Campania region, reinforcing the restaurant's positioning as an authentic Cilento/Salerno culinary experience in Brazil.

The core product is gastronomy built around artisanal fresh handmade pastas — Fettuccine, Linguine, Ravioli, and Fusilli — produced daily using trafile al bronzo (bronze-die extrusion) techniques imported from Italian culinary tradition. The offering is complemented by a curated Italian wine cellar featuring rare labels and a private-event program that can host 4 to 110 guests across modular rooms with 50-inch monitors, integrated audio/video, and ANVISA-compliant facilities. The restaurant has no delivery, no third-party marketplace presence, and no mobile app; reservations and event bookings are handled directly via WhatsApp, and the menu is distributed as a PDF (most recently updated in March 2026).

The business model is straightforward dine-in restaurant service supplemented by private events and corporate catering. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated from table-service food and beverage covers across lunch and dinner dayparts, plus bespoke event packages. The company is privately held with no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds. The full operation is supported by 79 employees.
