Medici Kitchen & Bar brings authentic flavours of Italian home cooking to Bangkok
Medici Kitchen & Bar, the signature Italian restaurant at Hotel Muse Bangkok, unveils a stylish re-brand to focus on serving authentic Italian cuisine with a modern twist. Core elements of the upgraded Medici Kitchen & Bar include a revamped menu created by the new executive chef Giuliano Berta, as well as an entertainment programme that features live opera and other music performances.
Charming and charismatic, Chef Berta lives to bring traditional Italian cuisine to an intimate dining atmosphere such as Medici Kitchen & Bar. Influenced by his mother’s cooking in Brescia, the Italy-born chef Berta combines innovative contemporary techniques and the freshest ingredients to create an unforgettable dining experience. Chef Berta’s artfully prepared menu is best enjoyed at a limited seat-only chef’s table, which puts the diners right in front of the show kitchen.
As Medici Kitchen & Bar is named after the famous and influential Medici family of Tuscany, Chef Berta brings traditional Italian recipes to the fore. Chef Berta culls fresh and imported ingredients meticulously, featuring only the best Italian creations. The new menu boasts a number of family-style sharable dishes, fresh homemade pasta, modern interpretations of classic dishes and seasonal specialities from Italy. To name a few: the full-flavoured lasagne casarecce layered with Australian beef cheek ragout and béchamel sauce (THB 650); the crispy and chewy pizza tartufata with mascarpone cheese, Taleggio cheese, mozzarella cheese, porcini mushrooms and black truffle (THB 690); casoncelli bresciani (THB 590), which is a Lombardy-style pork ravioli served with fragrant sage, bacon-like pancetta and black truffle; spaghettoni all’astice (THB 1,600) made of fresh spaghetti cooked with white wine, lobster bisque, fresh tomatoes and basil; branzino al sale (THB 1,650) which is a generous filet of salt-baked sea bass served with sautéed greens, potatoes and marinated mushrooms.
