History In 1902, Italian immigrant Vittorio Fasano opened Brasserie Paulista, a restaurant on Avenida Paulista. The name later shifted into Restaurante Fasano (Fasano Restaurant) and was operating successfully until the 1930s. The Fasano family subsequently expanded the business to additional restaurants and an Italian bakery.
In the 1980s, Gero Fasano dropped out of the University of the Arts London, returned to his native country and took over the family business. He transformed the regionally organized restaurants company into a multinational luxury hospitality brand.
In 2014, Brazilian real estate development company JHSF agreed to buy 13 Fasano restaurant locations as well as the right to use the brand, for 53 million Brazilians reais ($23.8m). Ever since the previous owner Gero Fasano remains a controlling shareholder with 37% and currently still chairs the company.
