Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo

One of the most exciting new destinations for Italian cuisine is the debut restaurant in Thailand by Michelin-starred chef and owner Paulo Airaudo. Bringing the excellence of Italian food to Bangkok, Chef Airaudo combines the timeless elegance of Florence's heritage with the rich historical essence of Tuscany. The result is a unique menu that blends authentic Italian recipes with innovative twists never before tasted. The focus is on fresh fish and seafood, as well as premium seasonal ingredients carefully sourced from producers worldwide. The use of an open-flame grill to prepare meats and seafood follows traditional Italian methods, creating signature dishes such as the Duck Cappelletti—an exquisite pasta shaped like small hats, filled with tender, subtly flavoured duck. Other dishes continue to captivate, not only with their flavour but with their visually striking presentations, such as a starter of Hamachi fish served alongside beetroot in the shape of a rose.

The name "Sartoria," which translates to "tailoring" in Italian, is a nod to the city's renowned tradition of tailoring in Florence. This concept is reflected in the restaurant's décor, designed to transport diners to the workshop of the first tailor in the ancient Tuscan city. The interior is elegantly minimalistic, adorned with real wood panels and complemented by an open kitchen, allowing guests to witness the craftsmanship behind each dish. This interactive element enhances the dining experience, inviting visitors to engage with the process and enjoy every step of the culinary journey.
