The story
Umberto Bombana is one of the most recognized names in Italian fine dining across Asia, and Cannubi — his Bangkok outpost on Rama IV Road — carries that reputation into the heart of the city's Bang Rak district. The restaurant earned 2 Forks from Gambero Rosso in 2025, the authoritative Italian food and wine guide, a mark of distinction that places it firmly among the Thai capital's most serious Italian tables.
The name itself is a signal of intent. Cannubi is one of Barolo's most storied single vineyards in Piedmont — a reference that speaks directly to the restaurant's commitment to Italian provenance and precision. For diners in Bangkok, it represents a rare opportunity to experience Italian cuisine shaped by a chef whose standards have been recognized across multiple continents.
Situated within the Dusit Thani Bangkok on Rama IV, Cannubi occupies a setting that matches its ambitions — polished without being stiff, formal enough to mark an occasion, comfortable enough to linger. The Gambero Rosso recognition underscores that the kitchen is operating at a level that rewards attention: this is Italian cuisine taken seriously, in a city that increasingly demands exactly that.
