Italian master chef Giacomo Vinci, who hails from Sicily, will present sublime seasonal ingredients from this ancient and authentic region, including fresh white asparagus, lobster and veal, accompanied with fine Italian premium beverages
Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok will transport guests on a summertime journey to Southern Italy this July, with a sensational six-course premium beverage dinner that showcases an amazing array of seasonal delicacies. In the heart of the Mediterranean, where volcanic hills meet the sea and rugged shores are lapped by crystal-clear waters, this evocative, underexplored region is a haven of gastronomy that produces some of the world’s finest ingredients.
Chef Giacomo Vinci, Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit’s acclaimed executive sous chef, hails from Sicily and grew up amid market-fresh produce from the surrounding hills and sparkling seas, such as white asparagus, lobster, summer truffles and veal. Over the course of his impressive career, which has taken Chef Giacomo from Europe to Asia, he has delighted diners with creative dishes that highlight these premium ingredients. Now, he is bringing these exquisite Southern Italian summertime sensations to Rossini’s, the Michelin-rated ristorante in the heart of Sukhumvit.
For one night only, on Friday 26th July 2024, Chef Giacomo will present a sublime set menu that features the summertime recipes that have defined his career. Guests will be immediately immersed in a highly evocative ambiance as they savor a selection of handcrafted canapés, accompanied with a flute of sparkling Prosecco from the Veneto region of Italy. This culinary odyssey then commences with an indulgent appetizer of fresh truffle with ratte potato on parmesan fondue & salmon roe, complemented with a crisp Italian Pinot Grigio. This will be followed by one of Chef Giacomo’s signature dishes: a vibrant seasonal plate of white asparagus with chanterelles, Oscietra caviar, mussels and a glacial salad – a favorite from the chef’s early days in Singapore – paired with a citrusy Langhe Bianco white premium beverage from Piedmont.
Diners can then discover two delectable plates that showcase premium produce from the responsible farms and traditional fisheries of Southern Italy. The seafood course of lobster & burrata casoncelli (filled pasta) in a rich lobster bisque will be complemented by a fruity red Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from the Adriatic coast, while the main course of veal tenderloin on celeriac purée with oyster mushroom and bone marrow in Montepulciano jus will be perfectly paired with a classic Tuscan Chianti.
This multi-sensory epicurean adventure will come to a crescendo with an indulgent and intriguing dessert. This playful finale arrives veiled in chocolate, inviting diners to uncover a sweet surprise within – a hazelnut & dark chocolate mousse on almond cake with salted caramel lava! Guests can then reflect on their gastronomic journey with a selection of petit fours and freshly brewed Segafredo coffee.
