At La Bottega Di Luca, on Sukhumvit 49, the focus falls on luxury ingredients served on a gorgeous open-air terrace (well, not on the terrace, but rather, on plates) with chef Luca Appino (formerly of the city’s revered Enoteca) coaxing quiet alchemy from a string of both imported Italian D.O.P ingredients and premium produce from France, Japan, Australia and beyond.
So, that’s Hawaiian amberjack crudo or foie gras with pistachio and pistachio to start, followed by tagliolini served with Brittany lobster, and a headliner of wagyu tomahawk, naturally. The wine list is, unsurprisingly, vast and effusive.
Yes, we said it’s indulgent, but if you’re looking for a blowout in the City of Angels, La Bottega Di Luca is one hell of a treat.
Or, to experience chef Appino’s cooking (or, at least, his recipes) in more street level surrounds, look out for his Pizza Massilia food truck, which can even be booked for private events and parties.
