Sardinian-born chef Alessandro Frau is credited for starting the “molecular” and “modern” dining trend in Phuket decades ago at his fine dining Italian institution Acqua, even before these concepts became trendy in the global culinary scene. Drawing in both devotees that cherish authentic Italian tastes or adventurous epicureans obsessed with modernized gourmet fare, Acqua reinvents centuries-old recipes into mind-blowing creations that still retain traditional Italian flavors. And we haven’t even mentioned the wine list. The restaurant boasts the city’s most impressive list of reds and whites, with over 450 selections of fine wines and vintage bottles. Acqua Restaurant has been awarded from 2010 until today from Wine Spectator as one of the Best Wine Lists in the world and as one of the Best Wine Selections in Phuket.
