Review

Serving diners now for more than a quarter century, Biscotti is the timeless, beloved Italian restaurant set in the Anantara Siam Hotel. Biscotti’s menu is wide-ranging, offering various meats, seafood, pasta, and pizzas. Begin with a friendly sharing plate for the table of focaccia mascarpone, a must-order Biscotti icon. Two paper-thin layers of focaccia generously sandwich a rich mascarpone and mozzarella cheese mix infused with truffle oil and sprinkled with fresh chives, the classic Italian way. Starters are elegantly presented, chestnut and prosecco velouté are excellent choices for a lighter option. For mains, rack of veal a la Milanese is a highlight, a marvel of balance between crisp and plush. There are many pasta options, but it would be unwise not to order King crab tagliolini, featuring chunks of juicy sweet crab meat and a superbly velvet crab bisque sauce clinging to the twists and turns of the al dente homemade pasta. Infused with parsley oil and garlic foam, the dish is an irresistible feast for the senses. Desserts are delightful, with signature Amalfi lemon being a light route to the end with ivory white chocolate mousse, confit Amalfi lemons, and a refreshing limoncello sorbet. Select a glass or bottle of wine from the extensive wine list selected by the resident wine guru, Nutawan “Nuch” Jumpanak.
