Meet Our Chef

Chef Giordano

Chef de Cuisine

With over 20 years of experience in Italian cuisine, Chef Giordano brings the authentic flavors of Italy to the shores of Phuket. His passion for fresh, seasonal ingredients and traditional techniques is evident in every dish served at La Gritta. From handmade pasta to expertly grilled seafood, his culinary artistry transforms the finest ingredients into unforgettable dining experiences.

Our Philosophy

Here, food has always been about bringing people together. Combining ingredients sourced from Italy with fresh local produce and seafood, our menu celebrates the traditions of Italian cooking and the joy of sharing a meal. At the bar, Italian-inspired cocktails carry that same spirit into the evening, best enjoyed with the Andaman Sea — a taste of Italy, right where you are.
