THE ST. REGIS BANGKOK | TWO MICHELIN STARRED CHEF CICCIO SULTANO AT JOJO

Chef Ciccio’s philosophy is based on continuous research on the deep-rooted culinary traditions in ancient Sicilian cuisine. He is particularly interested in the cuisine from Ragusa Ibla, the oldest and most magnificent part of the city. To him, research is fundamental. It allows him to study the history of local culinary traditions and convert their limitations into strengths. In addition, he applies the most advanced techniques and technology modern cuisine can offer.

He is passionate about local and exotic herbs and they are used extensively in his progressive cuisine.
Chef Ciccio successfully manages to express the very essence of the island, the smells and flavors that awaken all the senses.
