For melbournian, I think you know Grossi Florentino on Bourke Street. Good news for Bangkok foodies, they decided to joint with Intercontinental Hotel and open the new restaurant here!!!

I went there with my family, for i want to try if the food is good or not.

see the bread first, just normal. But my mom fel in love with olives here, and she asked for refill, LOL. For the olive oil, also just normal.
Carpaccio di Manzo (raw beef, hot beef broth, peas, parsley): Seriously, i just realized that the liquid part is 'hot beef broth' when i typed the menu here for 1) the broth was not hot 2) the taste was similar to balsamic vinegar rather than broth. In my opinion, i think it will be better without the broth. The beef and other part were good. And they should add cheese as it is always good accompany with carpaccio.

Next plate was Fettuccine con Ragu di Vitello in Bianco (Handcut fettuccine, braised veal, white wine, cream and herbs): I know that Grossi is good at pasta, so we decided to order one pasta and one pizza, for my brother is pizza big fan. The waitress tried to make me order the bolognese fettuccine as it's the special pasta of the day. but this menu was so tempting, so i ignored her suggestion and order this one, haha.

The pasta is good but it was a bit too salty. (already informed the chef today, LOL) but the fettuccine was good, as they used the freshly made one. I think it's because they just open the shop and it will be improve soon :)

The pizza we ordered is Magahrita (Tomato, mozzarella cheese, oregano): Before we ordered, me and my brother thought that it will be fresh tomato and fresh cheese one, so we were a bit disappoint when it was the baked one.

The pizza was just so so. much better than lots of place but still far away from +39. Think I have to order only pasta on my next visit.

Dessert time!!! we decided to order two desserts (that why we ordered only three savoury dishes, LOL, well-planned)

First one is Panna Cotta, Insalata di Bosco (Vanilla panna cotta, berry salad, rose sorbet): I love this one!!! Panna Cotta was soft and creamy and I love rose sorbet (even other persons who joined my dinner hate it, so i ate it all, LOL). The smell of rose was so great.

The other one is Crespelle con Banana (Crepes, caramalized banana, chocolate, butterscotch icecream): This one was also good, actually, it was the safe choice, how can it be wrong with chocolate and banana? plus, butterscotch...it was good (but the rose sorbet got all my attention, so i didn't have this one much)

The best of the night, cafe latte!

Another photo. Maybe the milk frost on top is for macchiato? for macchiato means mark.

Best Latte in Thailand for now!!! for the milk frost was better than other place i found! I was so happy and the waitress saw it, so she came back to our table to ask if the coffee was good and my answer was YESSS!!!

Today i went there again to have latte there for breakfast. First i went there on 10 a.m. as they said on the website that they open at that time, the waitress told me the opening time was 10.30, so i went to the nearby building for shopping, haha. Then, i came back on 10.40 and met with maitre d'. he told me that the shop would open on 11, so i told him that one of his staff told me it's 10! Maybe he can see the disappoint on my face, so he told me if i want just coffee, he can do it for me as the kitchen was not ready at that time. So, i ordered latte and croissant (i think the croissant was from yesterday :P). we talked over the counter for few mins, then he decided to join my breakfast and we had great conversation, from restaurant, to coffee, to food ingredient in Thailand, etc...etc. and when i told him to give me the bill, he told that it was on the house, for he enjoyed our breakfast, haha. So, i think the next time i will bring jasper coffee and ask him to do nice milk frost and nice espresso shot from Jasper coffee for my latte!
