favours,” Domenico says. Pasta is what really makes Sole Mio stand out in a sea of Italian eateries in the Thai capital. Apart from homemade fettucine and gnocchi, the restaurant offers rare bronze-cut pasta choices. Unlike the industrially-produced steel- cut options, the bronze makes a really big difference in pasta quality. The surface is much rougher and more of a home- made quality. The bronze-cut pasta also cooks better and absorbs more sauce and seasoning, according to chef Domenico. Another one of his recommendations is slow-cooked braised beef ribs, served with an assortment of herbs and polenta. After five hours of braising, the beef simply falls off the bone and melts in the mouth. The lightly battered and crispy Pork Cutlet Milanese is pan-fried with duck-fat which is full of flavour, served with a side salad and is also a big winner. For pizza, one can’t go wrong with the fancy-looking Ponte Vecchio Pizza. Parma ham slices are uniquely placed on an arch-like bridge on top of the thin crust pizza, topped with a flowing river of Rocket and Ricotta Cheese. This is to ensure that salt and moisture from the ham will not be absorbed into the crust and make it soggy. Bored of Pannacotta and Tiramisu? The Blueberry Cheesecake recipe here is second to none as it is silky and lush, but not too sweet – a perfect way to end the meal. Sole Mio offers an impressive and enjoyable Italian dining experience for families and friends gathered around a table and sharing great food. The restaurant’s emphasis on quality it produces does not go by unnoticed, while a warm and cosy atmosphere adds a “feel-at-home” touch. solemiobkk.com Beauty Aesthetics International | Issue 1 | January-March 2020 | 19 AUGUST 2018 PRESTIGE 41
