Giusto

SETTING

Shining wine cellar, sleek tableware, modern decor, occasional flashes of fire from a see-through kitchen, and busy waitstaff set the tone for fine dining. A bar area is located near the entrance for those who wish to smoke.

FOOD

Chef Fabio Colautti offers a variety of Italian food from all regions. The menu changes every three months but firm favourites such as foie gras or spaghetti bottarga remain. Antipasti here is of the highest quality. Fans of scallops must try superbly prepared grilled gigantic scallops with grilled vegetable salad in balsamic dressing. For a main course, carnaroli rice with rock lobster and saffron is highly recommended. A favourite among Thais is snow fish which is well prepared here. If mangoes are in season, choose mango cheesecake for dessert served with mango ice cream; the scrumptious home-made ice cream when combined with the light cheesecake and slices of fresh mango is a wonderful end to the meal.

WINES

Giusto’s wine cellar is comparable to that of major hotels in Thailand. The wine list runs both by region and in alphabetic order. Italian wines dominate but French, Australian, Agentinian and New Zealand wines are also on offer. Prices range from 1,500 to 90,000 baht.

SERVICE

Very friendly and knowledgable staff is capable of giving suggestions on choices. Busy but smiling, the waiters are evidently keen to provide good service.

PRICE

A three-course meal for two people comes to more than 3,000 baht, without wine.
