Undoubtedly the best Italian food we have eaten in Thailand, and some of the best Italian food we have ever eaten. The restaurant is owned and run by a wife/husband team who are passionate about their food and wine. The setting is intimate, and beautifully...decorated, with full air conditioning. Italian opera is usually playing gently in the background ……. The menu changes seasonally, and most ingredients are flown in from Italy. Preparation and presentation is perfect, and the food is exquisite.
We've been there twice on this trip to Samui, and the restaurant is as great as ever. The first visit we split the raw beef appetizer, and followed up with baccala (dried salt cod) on pozole, and a fresh mushroom pasta. Both were outstanding, as usual. The wine from the owners' family vineyard in Italy was wonderful as usual.
On our second visit, we started with sharing a smoked salmon trout platter, which was perfectly seasoned, and followed with a black truffle pasta, and pumpkin stuffed ravioli. Absolutely out of the world.
This restaurant is always on our list when we are in Samui, and the owners' commitment to quality makes for a wonderful dining experience in all dimensions.More
