1. Complimentary Homemade Bread

This complimentary bread is freshly baked in-house and served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The balsamic vinegar used here is of exceptional quality, boasting a rich, sweet flavor with a subtle hint of acidity. Unlike many restaurants that use thin, acidic balsamic vinegar, this one is authentic and full-bodied.

2. Arancino

This dish, a complimentary offering from the restaurant, was a pleasant surprise. It consisted of rice balls coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. The rice inside was mixed with Presto Sauce and Mozzarella Cheese, and topped with chopped olives.

Tomino al Tartufo (฿540)

This dish is a must-try for cheese lovers. It features fresh Tomino cheese infused with the distinctive aroma of truffle paste, creating a truly unique flavor profile. The cheese is wrapped in Parma ham and seared on a hot stovetop, then served with lightly grilled zucchini. The zucchini's refreshing flavor perfectly complements the richness of the cheese, offering a delightful balance of taste and texture.

## 4. Pizza Franco (฿560) This signature dish is cooked in a wood-fired oven, imparting a subtle smoky aroma. The pizza is topped with freshly sliced Culatello ham and Stracciatella cheese, which perfectly balances the saltiness of the Parma ham.

5. Gnocchi Gamberi & Zucchini (฿410)

This dish features house-made potato gnocchi tossed in a rich lobster bisque with tiger prawns and zucchini. The flavors are intense, with a subtle hint of spice.

The sixth dish, Ravioli ai Funghi Porcini e tartufo (฿460), was absolutely delicious. It featured ravioli filled with a medley of diced mushrooms, accompanied by truffle paste and a generous drizzle of porcini sauce. The dish was a symphony of high-quality mushrooms, with the distinct aromas of porcini and truffle taking center stage. The combination was incredibly fragrant and flavorful.

7. Mediterranean Sea Bass (฿750) This dish features French sea bass, perfectly seared and served with cherry tomatoes, olives, and a light artichoke sauce. The delicate flavors make it an easy-to-enjoy option.

8. Slow Cooked Chicken Breast This dish is included in the lunch set menu. I did not try it. It is chicken breast wrapped with Parma Ham and Truffle Paste.

9. Tortino (฿320)

This is a freshly made chocolate lava cake that takes approximately 10-15 minutes to prepare after ordering. The warm, gooey chocolate has a crispy exterior and a soft interior. It is served with vanilla ice cream, fresh berries (strawberries and raspberries), and whipped cream. If you plan to order this dessert, it is recommended to allow extra time before your meal.
