CHEF David Tamburini presents his second menu following the re-opening of La Scala in November of last year. In this new Spring Menu, he is keeping only 20% of the existing items due to two crucial factors: many of the ingredients in the previous menu are out of season, and David wants to create a unique offering focusing on his ideas of delicate and creative preparations.
First up was the elegant Pomodoro e mozzarella (B880++) - Campania buffalo mozzarella bavaroise, Piccadilly and datterino tomatoes topped with basil. The mozzarella cheese is mixed with milk and olive oil to soften the overall texture before moulding it into the delicate tomato peels.
Followed by Seppia alla griglia (B800++) - redefined texture of a grilled cuttlefish served with delicious squid ink garlic sauce, snow pea and sprout salad.
While every dish is a must-try, to be honest, but one of the more memorable include Ravioli di carruba all’arrosto di maiale, aglio orsino (B880++) - braised black pork carob ravioli especially that wild garlic leaves essence to top it off.

Risotto al caprino, prosciutto e Piselli (B880++) - Goat’s cheese vialone nano risotto topped with green peas and crispy Parma ham to add that salty taste to the mix; followed by Pescatrice e patate arrosto (B1,800++) - chunk of Monkfish tail glazed with roasted potato consommé Pantelleria capers served with Leccino olives and rosemary. The meat was so surprisingly dense, this dish is definitely a must-try.

 | “Italian cuisine is made of simple ingredients, providing an insight into its beauty. I believe that simplicity is not trivial in the development of our techniques, creating fresh tastes that are faithful to the memory yet always able to reflect new ideas.” - Chef David Tamburini, La Scala, The Sukhothai Bangkok La Scala, The Sukhothai Bangkok. 13/3 South Sathorn Road, Bangkok 10120. 02 344 8888. www.sukhothai.com/bangkok/en/dining/restaurant-la-scala |
