La Bottega di Luca

Chef Luca Appino started in Bangkok with the well known Enoteca restaurant, and now is involved with the gourmet Pizza Massilia, but this is his signature eatery, a bright spot with an outdoor terrace set on the Sukhumvit side of town, on Soi 49. The food is simply outstanding, ranging from the DOP burrata cheese served with 36 month aged Parma ham served as an antipasti, to the entrees like tagliolini all'astice angel hair pasta served with Brittany lobster or the Verrigni spaghetti served with clams sautéed in white wine sauce. There are also fine grilled meats as standouts, with either wagyu beef tomahawk steaks or 150 grain fed beef tenderloin or Australian ribeye, along with catch of the day fresh seafood for those who want something a bit lighter. A tremendous list of Italian and New World wines completes the festivities, and you are guaranteed to be leaving happy and sated at this excellent Italian venue.
