Dalva e Dito At the restaurant's opening, Atala worked closely with French chef Alain Poletto, who was responsible for the kitchen, while Atala developed the culinary concept with him. Today, the restaurant remains part of Atala's gastronomic universe, with its kitchen continuing to emphasize traditional Brazilian recipes and ingredients. The architecture is an essential part of the Dalva e Dito experience. The project was developed by Rosenbaum, the studio led by designer Marcelo Rosenbaum and architect Adriana Benguela, with the project seeking to reinterpret Brazilian colonial architecture through a contemporary lens. The architectural project began in 2007 and was completed in 2009, covering approximately 665 square meters. Rather than creating a nostalgic reproduction of a colonial house, Rosenbaum's design uses historical references alongside contemporary technology and materials. The result is an environment that feels simultaneously rustic, sophisticated and distinctly Brazilian. Another striking element is the work of Derlon Almeida, a Pernambuco-born artist known for incorporating the visual language of woodcut (xilogravura) into his contemporary art.
