Italian dining room at Mandarin Oriental's Paradise Bay — Chef Fabio De Paolis, Haute Grandeur 2018 Best Mediterranean and Italian Cuisine in Europe.
Assaggio is the Italian dining room at Mandarin Oriental Bodrum on Cennet Koyu, run by Chef Fabio De Paolis since the property's opening and named Best Mediterranean and Italian Cuisine in Europe at the 2018 Haute Grandeur Global Restaurant Awards. The kitchen reads trattoria rather than fine-dining: a tight card of light, season-driven Italian dishes — wood-fired pizzas from the open oven, burrata salads from the antipasti line, handmade pastas, alfresco seafood mains — served on a terrace over the Aegean. The room is Mandarin's evening Italian counterweight to the Hakkasan-and-ROKA Asian programme on the same property, the booking the resort offers guests who want a quieter, less brand-heavy dinner. Pizza and wine workshops run during the season.
Wood-fired pizza is the right opener even at a Mandarin-tier dinner — let the kitchen pace the antipasti and primi rather than ordering large mains. The pizza and wine workshops are guest-only; ask the concierge if you want in. Sit on the terrace, not inside.
