Special Publications, Published on 08/09/2017
» If you're the kind of cucina Italiana aficionado, like Luca Appino, who spurns anything inauthentic, you're likely already acquainted with the maverick restauranteur's eponymous "shop", or rather "Bottega" (level 2, The Terrace (Sukhumvit) 49, www.labottega.name / tel. 02 204 1731).
