Growing up in the coastal city of Genoa, Chef Alessio’s passion for food was sparked not only in his aunt’s restaurant kitchen, but also by the nearby harbor where he spent hours observing fishermen at work.
Fascinated by their daily catches, he was curious about the variety of fresh seafood they brought in. These early experiences shaped his deep appreciation for authentic, ingredient-driven cuisine, particularly the sun-kissed flavors of Coastal Italian cooking.
A graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute Nino Bergese in Genoa, he has honed his craft across the globe, from standalone restaurants like Zeffirino and Ristorante Il Veliero in Genoa to acclaimed establishments in the United States, Thailand, India and Mauritius.
While renowned for his mastery of coastal Italian flavors, Chef Alessio specializes in Italian classics as a whole, bringing a deep appreciation for traditional recipes across Italy’s rich culinary heritage. His signature dish, Spaghetti alle vongole e bottarga, spaghetti with clams, “bottarga” cured mullet roe, candied lemon zest, reflects his hometown’s flavors.
Another guest favorite is the Casoncelli di Gamberi e Salsa alle Zucchine, delicately stuffed with prawns and served with zucchini sauce, burrata, peas, and Mazara del Vallo red prawns, a dish that truly delights prawn lovers.
“I am thrilled to join Park Hyatt Bangkok and immerse myself in this incredible city’s culinary scene,” said Chef Alessio.
“Working alongside Chef Daniel Masters and the talented team, I’m eager to create unforgettable dining experiences with dishes that resonate with Thai diners’ love for bold, fresh flavors.”
Located on the 9th floor of Park Hyatt Bangkok, Embassy Room La Marina offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere inspired by the warmth of Italian dining traditions and the charm of fisherman villages.
Experience Chef Alessio’s authentic dishes, where the flavors of Italy’s coastal regions are complemented by comforting, everyday Italian favorites, inviting everyone to share and cherish.
Embassy Room La Marina focuses on capturing the essence of Italy’s coastal regions with a relaxed yet refined atmosphere.
The culinary philosophy is inspired by marinas of fisherman villages and provincial fresh produce markets, where the freshest ingredients of the day are celebrated and enjoyed for their exceptional quality.
The team works in unity to deliver a warm and gracious authentic experience unique to Embassy Room La Marina.
