Diners at intimate yellow-and-white tablecloth tables enjoy Italian pop tunes as chefs display their skills, while tossing pizza dough in the air, in front of their wood-fired pizza oven.
Entrees are similar to Gianmaria Zanotti’s restaurant on Saladaeng, with the menu’s four dozen pizzas and calzones being the stars. Goose liver salad with rocket, sweet cherry tomatoes and balsamic reduction is a nice touch while the caprese salad has two rows of buffalo mozzarella between thick sliced tomatoes and topped with fresh basil. The oven-fired thin-crust pizzas are fantastic. The house favorite is the pizza Zanotti, a blend of tomato, mozzarella, mascarpone cheese and imported parma ham. Tagliolini con salsiccia e funghi is a peppery mix of Italian sausage and mushrooms on top of hand-made angel hair pasta. To complete your meal, try strong coffee with ice cream-filled profiteroles topped with dark chocolate sauce, cocoa-dusted tiramisu or passion fruit cup’s light, sweet and tart flavors. Or, what be more appropriate than a limoncello.
The choice of wines are mostly Italian vintages, with 15 whites and 30 plus reds, between 1,000-3,000 baht. |
