Ventisi Restaurant, culinary boundaries dissolve into a seamless experience of East and West. Located within Centara Grand at CentralWorld, right in the heart of Bangkok's bustling shopping district and central business hub, Ventisi invites guests to explore the distinctive character of Italian and Thai cuisine through a thoughtfully curated ? la carte offering - where regional traditions are honoured, ingredients shine, and every dish tells a story.
Italian with Soul
Ventisi's Italian menu draws inspiration from the country's most celebrated culinary regions. Begin with Beef Carpaccio "Trentino Style", delicately sliced and finished with lemon dressing, wild rocket, and parmesan. Hearty comforts follow, such as Polpette della Nonna - meatballs in a rustic tomato sauce - and Vitello Tonnato with veal, tuna cream, and Piedmontese potato salad.
Risotto lovers will enjoy the earthy richness of Carnaroli rice with porcini mushrooms, Alpine butter, and seared foie gras, while Ravioli Piemontesi offers a smooth tomato veloute over meat-filled pasta parcels. From the seafood-rich Cacciucco alla Livornese to the refined Ossobuco alla Milanese with saffron risotto, and the tender Grilled Australian Wagyu, Ventisi's Italian dishes are both nostalgic and inventive. For dessert, the Bunet Astigiano - a chocolate and almond pudding - offers a perfect finale.
Thai Roots, Modern Voice
On the Thai side of the menu, Ventisi presents a dynamic interpretation of traditional fare. Highlights include Sing Buri-style Pla Naem with fermented fish and betel leaves, and Lam Tieng - a lacy egg net cradling prawns and salted egg yolk. Signature soups include the bold and spicy Ventisi-style Tom Saep with Kurobuta pork ribs, and the smoky, Ayutthaya-style Tom Klong with crispy snakehead fish.
Main dishes showcase regional richness: Kamphaeng Saen Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Bang Pakong River Prawns with tamarind, and Chu Chee Sea Grouper in a thick red curry. Thai curry aficionados will appreciate the Massaman with New Zealand lamb shank, fiery jungle curry with minced duck breast, and Kaeng Kua with sea snails and betel leaves - each complex and deeply satisfying.
Whether you're craving the warm familiarity of Italian comfort food or the layered spice of Thai heritage dishes, Ventisi offers a refined yet approachable dining journey, celebrating both cultures with equal passion.
