I had been craving good Italian food since arriving in Thailand & had been previously let down in Koh Samui. Pleasingly, this food was great. We had a Magarita pizza to start, home made pasta for a main & an amazing chocolate souffle for desert. Including soft drinks the bill came to 1125b.

A while ago I wrote a review, but it has been removed, no idea why or how. It was negative, the pasta was not fresh, the drowining in oily tomate sauce and the meat beaten to make a at least a bit tender. Overpriced and low quality. The owner reacted to my review with the mail underneath in my tripadvisor... More

The restaurant is clean, the service was great, the food was delicious. We asked if the Parmesan was pasteurised, and the waiter didn't understand, but went to great lengths to try to understand and asked us to write down the word in case any future customers asked. Really lovely, and centrally located. Follow your nose......

Been here a few times now, the level of service is fantastic with real Italian food and ingredients. The gorgonzola gnocchi is superb, and the selection of wines is also of a good standard. For an actual taste of europe in well laid out surroundings this place is hard to beat.

This restaurant has great atmosphere for dinner, they offer a big variety of wines and what is special for me is their homemade pasta. Of course there are lot of places where you can have pasta, but not homemade. It is so delicious! The antipasti platter as starter is a must! The waiters are attentive and the owners greet you...

Decent food but pricey. The service is a bit slow. There are many other great options on Koh Tao, but this restaurants location is prime, and it has plenty of space for large groups.

Dolce Vita has really beautiful decor and a great open concept design. The place is very relaxed and a bit romantic with a lot of couples and groups opting for wine as their drink of choice. Trust the reviews and get the lasagna! My husband had it and hasn't stopped thinking about it since. It's fairly large, and served super... More
