Agda Camanzano hosting guests at a Raízes & Receitas dinner

Boutique catering · Private dining · São Paulo

The art of hosting turns a gathering into a lasting memory.

At Raízes & Receitas, Agda Camanzano creates bespoke menus and food-led experiences for companies, private celebrations and meaningful gatherings.

Food with intention

Every gathering begins with listening.

Before the menu comes the guest list, the occasion and the mood you want to set.

Agda reads the room — the guests, the setting and the purpose — then shapes an experience that feels considered from the first bite to the final detail.

The result is soulful, personal cooking supported by thoughtful planning, polished presentation and attentive service, so the host can be fully present too.

Soulful food. Seamless execution.

One house. One table. One experience.

Raízes & Receitas welcomes you home.

A sensory dining escape in Jardim Ibiratiba, just 14 km from Avenida Paulista.

In a house wrapped in greenery, Agda is shaping an intimate setting for small-group lunches, dinners and one-off culinary experiences.

The concept brings together quiet surroundings, far-reaching views towards São Paulo, the ease of a welcoming home and the privacy of a gated community — all within easy reach of the city centre.

This is more than a meal: it is an invitation to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of the house, the conversation and the table.

  • Intimate lunches and dinners
  • Private gatherings
  • Themed weekends
  • Green surroundings, privacy and security
  • Menus created by Agda

The house is currently being prepared. The first dates and hosted experiences will be announced soon.

Tables with a story to tell

Some gatherings call for their own theme, pace and menu.

Agda has created evenings inspired by Greek and Mexican cooking, Jewish traditions, wine launches, seasonal celebrations and occasions conceived around the host’s own story.

Each themed experience unfolds as a narrative, with flavour, tablescape, atmosphere and service working together to give the evening a distinct point of view.

  • Greek-inspired evenings
  • Mexican-inspired tables
  • Jewish culinary traditions
  • Wine launches
  • Seasonal menus
  • Themed weekends

Your host

Agda Camanzano

Founder and culinary curator of Raízes & Receitas.

Raised by generations of Italian women, Agda learned early that cooking and hosting are forms of care. Family recipes, long tables and flavour memories became the roots of a deeply personal style of hospitality.

Over time, that instinct became a disciplined practice. Today she creates experiences for companies, families and intimate groups, bringing together attentive listening, organisation, sensitivity and genuine presence.

“Good hosting makes every guest feel at home.”
