Vulcano
This successful Italian wine bar and pizzeria from Slovakia (yup, you read it right) has recently opened up a branch in Chiang Mai (as you do) and now includes a Moroccan-inspired (naturally) hotel on the premises. But forget your atlas (or Google map); for we locals, this place is all about food and wine. Vulcano is a swanky and sophisticated restaurant and wine bar hoping to woo the business lunch and after-work crowd with its fine walk-in wine cellar, where bottles start at a reasonable 570 baht, and a variety of pizzas, pastas and carnes ranging between 150-300 baht per dish. Pizza delivery service is also available and the Slovakian manager assures us that the generously-sized, wood-fired pizzas are delicious and cost around the 200 baht mark. The cool air-con interior with plenty of space includes an upstairs stage where a jazz band will perform every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
