Grano Italian Bakery Wins Gambero Rosso 1 Cornetto Award at Top Italian Restaurants Bangkok 2026

We are thrilled to share some extraordinary news: Grano Italian Bakery has been awarded 1 Cornetto by Gambero Rosso at the prestigious Top Italian Restaurants 2026 event held in Bangkok.

This recognition is a milestone we are incredibly proud of, and we want to share what it truly means for us, and for you, our beloved customers.

What Is Gambero Rosso?

Gambero Rosso is Italy's most authoritative and respected food and wine guide, founded in 1986. Often referred to as the Italian equivalent of the Michelin Guide, Gambero Rosso evaluates restaurants, bakeries, wine producers, and food artisans across Italy and, increasingly, around the world.

The name Gambero Rosso (which translates to "Red Shrimp" in Italian) has become synonymous with culinary excellence, rigorous quality standards, and the celebration of authentic Italian food culture.

Being recognized by Gambero Rosso is one of the highest honors an Italian food establishment can receive, whether in Italy or abroad.

What Does "1 Cornetto" Mean?

Gambero Rosso uses a unique rating system for bakeries, pastry shops, and artisan bread makers: the Cornetto (the iconic Italian croissant). Ratings range from 1 to 3 Cornetti, with each level representing a higher degree of excellence:

  • 1 CornettoRecognized quality: A mark of distinction awarded to establishments that demonstrate genuine craftsmanship, authentic ingredients, and a commitment to Italian baking traditions. It signals that a bakery stands out from the crowd and is worthy of attention.
  • 2 Cornetti — High excellence
  • 3 Cornetti — The pinnacle of Italian baking artistry

Receiving 1 Cornetto means that Gambero Rosso's expert judges have evaluated our products and recognized Grano Italian Bakery as a place of authentic, high-quality Italian baking, right here in Thailand.

A Historic Moment for Italian Food in Thailand.

The Top Italian Restaurants 2026 event in Bangkok brought together the finest Italian culinary establishments across Southeast Asia, celebrating the best of Italian food culture outside of Italy.

Being included among these distinguished names, and walking away with a Gambero Rosso Cornetto, is a testament to the passion, dedication, and love for Italy that drives everything we do at Grano.

From our hand-crafted brioches and sourdough loaves to our traditional pastries made with imported Italian ingredients, every item we bake is a tribute to the flavors and traditions of our homeland.
