Good wine selection, perfect italian cuisine. Can be pricy but pleasant without doubts. Once discovered we came back again and again for several times.

We visited La Taverna after the amazing reviews on Tripadvisor but found our experience to be quite average. We both ordered a pasta dish, and a brushetta to share. Have to admit the brushetta with mozarella, basil & tomato was beautiful and presented very nicely, but could not say the same for the two pasta dishes. My pasta, with a... More

The service is always smart and friendly with the host on hand to ensure everything is just right for his guests. Food is consistently excellent. Nice atmosphere. Staff are well trained and pleasant. You would not find a better Italian Restaurant on Samui. Carlo manages a class act!

Love this place! We go back every time we visit Koh Samui (several times per trip). We still talk about the food and recommend it to everyone heading over. The spinach & ricotta ravioli is amazing! Actually everything is good. We will definitely be back!!!

Just returned from Samui and several visits to La Taverna during our holiday. We return to La Taverna every time we go to Samui for the great food, atmosphere and service. Carlo is a fantastic host and makes this restaurant a must place to return to.

Another likely looking candidate from the Vegas-style dining guide and my second favorite meal of the trip. Exactly what you would expect from this caliber of restaurant - except for the extremely reasonable prices. Choice of indoor or outdoor seating. We chose the climate-controlled indoor option which was a pleasant change from the open-air seating available at most of the... More

best food, value and service in Koh Samui. Carlo the owner is Italian and treats you like a long lost friend. Beautiful bathroom which is unique in Koh Samui. Looks very upmarket but the prices are excellent. Eat there at least 4 times on a holiday. Love it

the Eggplant is EXCELLENT, the Pastas and Sauces are fantastic, as good or better than I have had in Italia or even New York's Italian neighborhoods. The steak and fish are fantastic, fresh, unbelievable quality and taste, for Thailand, where finding a good steak is not so easy. Carlo the owner, recommended a mushroom sauce for the filet, which was... More
