Shangri-La Bangkok is quite unstoppable as of late! Last March, the five-star hotel on Charoenkrung pulled the curtain down on its famed Chinese restaurant Shang Palace, which has made a full-on return with new dishes and a new head chef.
This time around, the riverside establishment is adding more excitement to its food scene with the much awaited comeback of its Italian restaurant Volti.
After two years of cocooning, the restaurant has reopened and is now calling itself Volti Tuscan Grill & Bar. Along with the relaunch comes a new commitment: “re-envisioning” and “showcasing” quality meats that are cooked using smoking and wood-fire grilling techniques from Tuscany.
Chef Bruno Ferrari is now at the forefront of the reimagined Volti. The 42-year-old Italian native has had respectable stints at dining rooms around the world, including Wien Turin Restaurant in Zurich, Switzerland, where he was instrumental in helping the dining room gain a one Michelin star in 2008.
Once named the “Best Young Chef Patron” by the Italian Michelin Guide, Chef Bruno is now settled in Shangri-La Bangkok, where he has put in hard work for the reopening of its Italian restaurant.
This new era of Volti focuses on a variety of grilled meats sourced from the best farms across the globe. There’s everything under the sun here, from Japanese Wagyu (A5), to Australian Angus (MBS3+), to F1 Wagyu (MBS 7+).
All these premium meats are seasoned with ingredients such as Wagyu fat and ginger, and then cooked to perfection over an Austrian-designed charcoal grill using Tuscany-style techniques. All the meats are placed on Himalayan salt blocks to keep them in just the right temperature.
In addition to awesome grilled meats, Volti also has a variety of starters and mains that you just can’t miss, including the grilled octopus (B680++) marinated in green sauce, smoked paprika, lemon jelly, garlic, and truffle sauce. Then there’s the light but flavorsome beef carpaccio (B780++), which will invigorate your palate with lemon, mustard, and cherry tomato jelly.
Pasta fans will be drooling for Volti’s carbonara (B650++), which comes with a silky-smooth sauce made with egg yolk, pork guanciale, and Roman pecorino cheese, while carnivores won’t regret digging into the Angus beef tenderloin rossini (200 grams, B1,300++), a rich steak offering served with foie gras and black truffle.
As you’re in an Italian restaurant, it’s not acceptable if you go home without getting your fill of a decadent dessert, such as the creamy Dolce Tiramisu (B420++).
For the best dining experience, these perfectly grilled meats and delicious dishes can be paired with Volti Tuscan Grill & Bar’s extensive list of fine wines and creative cocktails.
