L et’s Dine, Bangkok
Medinni
M
edinii Italian restaurant is
located on the 35th floor of
the 5 star Continent Hotel.
It is the hotel’s signature
restaurant and rightfully so.
Before having dinner at Medinii I
visited their website so I would know
what to expect. I scrolled down to their
promotion page and began reading.
After reading thru the first promotion I

main course menu, plus one selection
from their desert menu PLUS free flow
of wine, beer or cocktails from 6pm to
10pm.
I mentally did the equations and

food they serve could only aspire to be

How wrong I was.
There were seven choices of pizza and
six choices of pasta and what we had
was really good. I mean really good. So
much so that I had to stop eating before
I wanted to because I knew I had a main
course and a desert coming. With the
six different pasta sauce’s you had five
different types of pasta for it to be served
over; spaghetti, penne, fettuccine, angel’s
hair and black ink pasta.
The Entrée menu had nine selections
and I contemplated over the Seabass,
