Bangkok, Thailand, May 2, 2024 / TOP25RESTAURANTS / We are pleased to announce our upcoming joint dinner with Acqua Panna & S. Pellegrino, featuring Michelin-starred chef Antimo Merone from Estro (Hong Kong) and chef Christian Martena, on Saturday, May 11 at CLARA.

Chef Antimo Merone, originally from Naples, is one of the pioneers of Italian cuisine, redefining its rules. He has made it his mission to elevate Neapolitan cuisine to a new level through modern cooking techniques.

Chef Antimo comes from a farming family and learned early on to appreciate the flavors of the finest Italian ingredients. From Berlin's Vai Mó to ALMA in Parma under the legendary Gualtiero Marchesi, Antimo gained invaluable experience in some of the world's best restaurants. The opening of L'Altro in Hong Kong took him to Asia, where he quickly earned a Michelin star. Shortly afterward, he became head chef at Umberto Bombana's 8 ½ Otto e Mezzo in Macau, where he led the kitchen for six years and also earned a Michelin star.

In 2021, he opened his first restaurant, Estro, in Hong Kong in partnership with the JIA Group. Estro received its first Michelin star in April 2023. In 2024, Estro retained its Michelin star and ranked 71st in Asia's expanded list of the 50 best restaurants.

On this special evening, chefs Antimo and Christian will present their southern heritage with a modern touch, giving traditional flavors their own unique character.
