With the gastronomic award from Thailand Tatler’s Best Restaurants 2019, Cucina in JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa is no doubt one of the best places for sophisticated and heartfelt Italian plates. The menu at Cucina takes on the Italian’s trattoria-style where authentic dishes from traditional antipasti (appetizers) to homemade pasta and wood-fired pizza are served in a very casual and relaxing atmosphere. Seasonal local produce, as well as imported ingredients best-found in Italy, is also known to be an integral part of Chef Andrea Genio’s signatures such as risotto al nero con ricci di mare, spaghetti alla siciliana, and rustic potato gnocchi with braised lamb ragout.
