Forget predictable hotel buffets. Red Sauce, the crown jewel of Rosewood Phuket, transforms the second Sunday of each month into a sun-drenched pilgrimage to the heart of Italy. We were invited to their inaugural brunch, and it’s not merely a meal—it’s an opulent, transportive journey where Nonna’s timeless recipes meet Rosewood’s unparalleled luxury, all kissed by the Andaman breeze. Prepare for a symphony of authentic flavors, theatrical live stations, and pure indulgence.
Authenticity Woven into Every Bite
Stepping into Red Sauce feels like entering a sophisticated Italian villa, where tradition is sacred. Executive Chef Marco and his team wield heritage like an art form. Every ingredient is meticulously sourced – think volcano-grown Sicilian tomatoes and texture-perfect mozzarella – and prepared with unwavering respect for classic techniques. This isn’t “Italian-inspired”; it’s Italy, reimagined on Phuket’s Emerald Bay, where even the wood-fired oven whispers secrets from Naples.
Your Grand Culinary Voyage Unfolds
The brunch unfolds as a lavish procession of Italy’s greatest hits, presented with Rosewood finesse:
- Antipasti Alchemy: A magnificent wooden table groans under the weight of authentic antipasti. Slice into Pecorino and Prosciutto di Parma, savor marinated artichokes and olives, then be delightfully surprised by vibrant Thai appetizers and salads – a subtle, spicy nod to the local terroir that awakens the palate.
- Frutti di Mare Spectacle: Near the entrance, an ice-bedded treasure trove glistens: plump Fine de Claire oysters, majestic lobsters, and pristine prawns. The star? The dramatic Salt-Crusted Seabass, expertly carved tableside from the open kitchen – moist, fragrant, and utterly sublime.
- Carb-Loading Heaven (The Italian Way!): Carb-loading is practically mandatory. Choose from hand-rolled pastas tossed in rich, slow-simmered sauces (that Vesuviano Pomodorino is life-changing), or savor blistered wood-fired pizzas – their crusts charred to perfection, topped with the finest imports.
- Fire & Flair on the Terrace: Follow the smoky allure to the terrace BBQ. Here, Australian Black Angus steaks, succulent racks of lamb, and whole grilled lobsters sizzle over open flames, cooked precisely to your desire by masterful chefs.
- Dolce Finale: No Italian feast concludes without sweet surrender. The dessert display is pure temptation: velvety Tiramisu, delicate homemade macarons, and the pièce de résistance – Crêpes Suzette, flambéed tableside with vintage Grand Marnier in a breathtaking orange blossom blaze.
The Rosewood Difference: Where Luxury Meets La Famiglia
Beyond the exquisite food, it’s the experience that enchants. Red Sauce’s brunch masterfully blends theatrical live cooking with warm, intuitive service. The elegant yet relaxed setting – think soft linen, curated ceramics, and lush tropical views – creates an atmosphere of effortless sophistication. It’s celebratory yet intimate, perfect for marking a special occasion or simply indulging in the art of slow, luxurious Sunday living.

Red Sauce’s Sunday Brunch isn’t just a meal; it’s a passport to Italy’s soul, served on a platter of Phuket’s most breathtaking coast. Come hungry, leave enchanted, and dream of Nonna (and that seabass) until next month. Buon Appetito! ✨
