Asiana.
Welcome to ASIANA, our signature Oriental Restaurant at the Sandos Riviera. At ASIANA you will taste a fusion of Eastern dishes designed to awaken the senses of any food lover. With true Asian Philosophy in mind we present you a laid back and versatile culinary experience based on the concept of food sharing.
In the Oriental Home it is very important to eat together as a family. Dishes will be served in the center of the table and each family member will take what they like and serve it onto their plate. There is usually no order to the dishes being served and everyone just shares from the center of the table. This creates a less stressful experience and more time can be spent exchanging conversations and generally chatting about what happened during the day.
At ASIANA we invite you to try out this concept. Most of our dishes will feed a minimum of two people so if you are many people on a table you may want to order two similar dishes so everyone can have a taste.
But above all... have fun!! Fill that table with food and get chatting and sharing!!

II Piemonte Buffet.
II Piemonte is located behind the Grand Buffet Festival. When you walk down the main avenue in SANDOS Beach take a right at the fountain and walk up the stairs to be greeted by our hostess, who will accompany you to your table.
Food at II Piemonte is freshly prepared and elaborated by Chef Briseño Medina. Try our large selection of Antipasti, grilled vegetables, cheeses, salads, pizzas, typical dishes and much more.
Adults with love the well-prepared Carpaccio’s and Salads while children can eat as much pizza as they like! Kids love Pizza! Which is why we have six different flavors available at Il Piemonte Italian Buffet. And if you don’t like any of them just ask and they will prepare a pizza of your liking. Tell our chef’s what toppings you want... into the oven, and ready! That simple!
What about freshly made pasta?
Prepared daily in our kitchens it has a completely different texture and is more tasty than normal dried pasta. At the pasta station ask them to make you “Paglia e Fieno”… litterally transalted into English it means straw and hay. It consists of mixing egg pasta with spinach pasta and adding a sauce made of cream, onions, ham and Parmesan. Don´t forget to add some pepper!!
If you have any suggestions please tell our members of staff - We are always keen to know your opinions. Our aim is to constantly improve our food selection and quality in order to offer the best value for money.
