Cat and Nat Recommend Italian Restaurants
Italian food is the most popular European cuisine in Thailand and it’s available on practically every street corner. We separate the wheat from the chaff.
Thais love Italian food because… it’s so Thai! But seriously, among European cuisines, it is the Italian combination of strong flavours, fresh ingredients, noodles and rice that mean comfort food to anyone here. Bangkok abounds with Italian restaurants, especially in hotels. We favour stand-alone restaurants run by chefs who truly have a passion for their art.
Antonio’s
The atmosphere is romantic. This is an old house on Sukhumvit Road and, like a good restaurant in Italy, the best thing to order is whatever the chef is cooking on the day.

Delicatezza
This is a local favourite with a Thai chef. The pasta is what everyone comes for, especially the carbonara. The pesto is particularly lush, as are the salads.
