Bangkok, Thailand, May 2, 2024 / TOP25RESTAURANTS / We are delighted to announce our upcoming collaboration dinner together with Acqua Panna & S. Pellegrino, featuring One MICHELIN Star Chef Antimo Merone from Estro (Hong Kong) & Chef Christian Martena on Saturday, May 11, at CLARA.
Chef Antimo Merone, a proud Naples native, is among the vanguard of chefs rewriting the rules of Italian cuisine. Dedicated to elevating Neapolitan cuisine through modern cooking techniques.
Chef Antimo comes from a farming family and learned at a young age to appreciate the flavours of fine Italian ingredients. From Berlin’s Vai Mó to ALMA in Parma under the legendary Gualtiero Marchesi, Antimo earned his stripes at some of the world’s finest restaurants. The opening of L’Altro in Hong Kong brought him to Asia, which quickly achieved a Michelin star. Soon after, he joined Umberto Bombana’s 8 1⁄2 Otto e Mezzo in Macau as Executive Chef, where he led the kitchen for six years and also earned a Michelin Star.
In 2021, he opened his first restaurant Estro in partnership with JIA Group in Hong Kong. In April 2023, Estro received its first MICHELIN star. In 2024, in addition of retaining its one MICHELIN star, Estro was ranked 71 in the extended list of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurant.
During this special evening, Chef Antimo and Chef Christian will highlight their southern heritage with a contemporary flair, presenting their own unique twist on traditional flavors.
