Italian cuisine is as unique to each region as this nation’s rich tapestry of culture and history. Chef Luca has scoured Chiang Mai’s producers to find ingredients to turn into some of the most delicious dishes beloved by Italians. Authenticity is important, but as any real Italian chef knows, so is creativity, and Chef Luca has created a new menu which encompasses and fuses the best of both traditions.
Here are some musings to whet your appetite;
Bruschetta
This simple antipasti needs no introduction. A simple piece of bread is grilled before toppings are added and flavours completed by a generous drizzle of fine olive oil. Done properly, and with the right ingredients, this is a superb bite to start off any meal. Here at Favola, a number of toppings are available – perfect for our Thai sharing culture – including smoked salmon and capers, figs, Parma ham and honey or spicy salami. The dish is elevated by the quality tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic confit and of course the best Italian bread
