AZZURRA
Bang Tao Beach, Phuket
From Nonna's Kitchen to the Shore of Andaman Sea
Born in Palermo, Sicily, Chef Giampiero Quartararo brings the warmth of his grandmother’s kitchen to Azzurra, a coastal Italian restaurant on Bang Tao Beach.
Rooted in family recipes and refined through years in Italian kitchens, his cooking celebrates simple dishes prepared with care, finished with intention and served with the generous warmth of an Italian family table.
Simple Dishes, Done Perfectly
Italian cooking does not need to be complicated to be unforgettable. It requires patience, balance and the confidence to let each flavour speak clearly.
Handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, comforting Italian favourites and regional dishes are prepared with care and intention. Sauces are built slowly, textures are thoughtfully considered and selected dishes are finished at the table bringing warmth, theatre and connection to the dining experience.
Here, simplicity is not minimal. It is generous, heartfelt and full of character.

The Chef and his Food story
Chef Giampiero Quartararo
Born in Palermo, Sicily, he grew up in a close-knit family where food was never just something served at the table. His earliest memories belong to his nonna, whom he lovingly calls his second mother. In her kitchen, surrounded by the scent of slow-simmering sauces, fresh dough and familiar family voices, he learned that cooking is not about complicated recipes. It is about respect for ingredients, for time and for the people you cook for.
That feeling still lives in his cuisine today. The handmade pastas carry the comfort of home. The wood-fired pizzas celebrate the beauty of simple ingredients, shaped by hand and baked with patience. The arancine echo the warmth of Sicilian family recipes, while dishes inspired by his years in refined Italian kitchens bring a quiet elegance to the table.
After training at Alma, The International School of Italian Culinary Arts, Chef Giampiero refined his craft in Italy, including time at the one-MICHELIN-starred Ca’ Vittoria in Piedmont. There, he learned the discipline, precision and restraint that now shape his cooking at Azzurra.
His menu brings together two worlds, the heartfelt flavours of Sicily and the refined techniques of northern Italy. Every sauce is built slowly, every texture is carefully considered and every dish is prepared with the belief that simple food, when done perfectly, can be deeply memorable.
Chef Giampiero’s cuisine is a story of family, craft and heart, served with the generous warmth of an Italian table, where every dish tells a story and every meal becomes a celebration.
