Named after the ancient route that connected Rome to Southern Italy, Appia is a beloved gathering place for Bangkok's fans of authentic Italian cuisine. This rustic, homey trattoria serves handpicked classics designed to transport diners to Rome's countryside, the original home of owner and celebrated chef Paolo Vitaletti. Appia's concise menu includes the traditional antipasti, secondi, primi and delci, plus seasonal specials. Each made-to-homey-perfection dish is a satisfying, family-style recipe, in the same generous portions that mama would serve.
Favourite dishes include the stand out chicken liver crostini with grilled crunchy sourdough, fresh cavatelli served with rich lamb ragu with roasted tomatoes and tarragon, and a wonderful porchetta pork roast with salty, crispy skin, fennel and garlic accompanied by a complementary sharp apple compote. The lamb rack is slow-cooked until delicately tender - regulars know to place their orders as they walk in the door as it's strictly available on a first-come, first-served basis. An Italian meal is not complete without a sugary ending and Appia's sweet menu is anItalian dessert lover's delight. The tiramusu, with ladyfingers soaked on point, has an espresso fragrance and whiff of caramel. Another mouthwatering stunner is the brioche with caramelized bread and hazelnut ice cream, a comforting foodie masterpiece. The wine list features many reasonably priced Italian labels.
Appia's renowned chicken liver crostini is so creamy you might choose seconds.
