    Quite impressive that they were able to make the pizza tasteless 😅 The pictures on the menu look very promising but the taste suggests otherwise😭 Quite disappointed!! Spaghetti was slightly better but still wasn’t great.

    This place was such a great find! Huge and tasty Aperol spritz. Everything came out quickly which I (starving) appreciated. The Greek salad was flavorful and had delicious fresh cheese and juicy green olives. The meat and cheese platter was stacked and full of meats and cheese that also came with fresh made bread! (Don’t forget to make a dipping oil) My partner also liked the lasagna which was piping hot and came with extra cheese. Really hit the spot and prices are great.

    Authentic Italian food in the heart of Krabi Town. We had a pizza and pasta dish and both were delicious. The portion sizes are generous, give it a try for a real Italian food

    Just had the most awesome ravioli at this place. And also the pleasure of meeting the owner, Renato. What a nice person and no surprise this restaurant has lasted 20 years. Please show them some love during these difficult times, they definitely deserve it.

    We visited this place after all the great reviews we saw, but unfortunately were highly dissatisfied. The pizza topping was really under the average. They've put a cheap tomato paste, instead of real tomatoes, the cheese was hard and dry, there was a lack of basic Italian spices, like oregano and basil... What's the worse, they used canned mushrooms, that even weren't fresh! Only the pizza crust was well prepared. Generally, it tasted like common frozen pizza from European supermarket.

    The place is overall a nice place to dine in. But the food is a bit disappointing. I ordered a a Bacon Burger , I requested it to me medium rare and end up well done and dry , the cheese was not melted and it felt like the cheap brand, the bread was soggy and overall it was not pleasant. The beer was a bit warm too. Shame they waste the calming Italian atmosphere with such food. Would not come back.

    🔎 An interesting place for Thailanl is an Italian restaurant owned by a real Italian (and according to the information on the information stand, for decades). 🍕Of course, all food is prepared with maximum Italian approach and it’s tasty. 🫒Cup of olives costs 100 baht. 😪 🙄 And we could not order a caprese salad three times when we came here - they told all the time that it was over. ❤️‍🩹❤️❤️❤️Authentic but high-pricey.

    All foods are very good and surprising inexpensive prices which includes drinks. Realizing many customers reviews are good if you also come and try this restaurant. Needless to say that the waitress are also very kind and perfect.

    When you order on Grab 3 x 23cm pizzas and they send 10 cm pizzas. On top of that, 2 of them were supposed to be margheritas and they sent ones with pork and onion. There is no way to return them. What can a vegetarian do in this situation? This is unbelievable. If they were sincere, this review wouldn’t have been necessary. But I dislike being lied to, it should be my choice to pay this amount of money for such a small pizza. At least please update your information in the menu. update: After complaining, I have received a refund for 3 pizzas. Thank you

    Italia in the middle of Krabi. Ravioli pasta made my day. Food is literally from the heaven. Charming owner and passionate of Italian cuisine heritage.

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dayane M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was simply DEVINE! I loved it! Can’5 wait to try another dish! Will definitely come back!!! Hardly recommended! Price is also worthy authentic Italian food! 🤗

  • 4/5 Andres G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very tasty and super good prices. Lasagna was fresh, enjoyed. The winner was definitely the meat & cheese platter.. came with fresh homemade bread I'll think about later.

  • 4/5 Eugene S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good kitchen, but not all dishes available if you come around 9pm. For example Salad Caprese. This is typical Italian salad and it suppose to be all the time but unfortunately it is not so. But again the kitchen at the very good level! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Oskar F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I recommend a great pizza at a good price and friendly service. (Original) Polecam, świetna pizza w dobrej cenie i miła obsługa.

  • 5/5 Francesca P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Given that it would be nice and obligatory to eat local cuisine abroad ... but after so much pad thai or fried rice, after beaten eggs from breakfast to dinner and salads and vegetables and chicken and fish always spiced ... (it is so useless that you tell him that you don't want it spiced and / or spicy) 😏 at some point you feel like eating something different ... or feeling those scents that you left at home. If you are an Italian and you are in Krabi, this is the right place. From bruschetta accompanied to a good glass of wine with gnocchi; from pizza to Italian ice cream or homemade tiramisu! Dear the owner, Venetian from Valpolicella, the waitresses of his restaurant are very nice. Thanks for everything and excellent advice to get to know this town on the homonymous river better! (Original) Premesso che all'estero sarebbe bello e d'obbligo mangiare cucina locale... ma dopo tanto pad thai o fried rice, dopo uova sbattute dalla colazione alla cena e insalate e verdure e pollo e pesce sempre spiced... (tanto e' inutile che gli dici che non lo vuoi speziato e/o piccante) 😏 ad un certo punto ti vien voglia di mangiare qualcosa di diverso... o risentire quei profumi che hai lasciato a casa. Se sei un italiano e ti trovi a Krabi, questo è il luogo giusto. Dalla bruschetta accompagnata ad un buon bicchiere di vino agli gnocchi; dalla pizza al gelato italiano o a quel tiramisù fatto in casa! Gentilissimo il proprietario, veneto della Valpolicella, carinissime le cameriere del suo ristorante. Grazie di tutto e degli ottimi consigli per conoscere meglio questa cittadina sull'omonimo fiume!

    A nice change from Thai food. The pizza was crispy and it was good, just lacked a bit of flavour on the vegetarian one. Nothing that a bit of added chilli + balsamic vinegar couldn’t fix. Nice red wine.

  • 4/5 Billy H. 4 years ago on Google
    Genuine Italian food and wine.

    Safely the best Italian restaurant in Krabi. Authenticity and using good ingredients lead to exceptional food and it shows.

  • 5/5 Martina 11 months ago on Google
    Since we come from Italy we had to try the restaurant, once pasta and then pizza and found both very tasty! It is nice there and the owner is very friendly, has chatted and laughed with us. She also gave us some tips for the trip.

    A cosy Italian restaurant with great burgers, pastas and sides. Sides: Caprese Salad was generous; Calamari Fritti portion was not as big but the squid was fresh and the salsa accompanying it was tasty. Main: Bacon Cheese Burger was one of the best we had at Krabi. Everything went very well together and the melted cheese on the juicy patty was great. Pastas: Salsiccia e Funghi had nice minced pork sausage / Boscaiola ricotta and spinach ravioli with bacon and mushrooms was very hearty. However, the carbonara was a bit of a letdown as it wasnt as rich or salty as we had hoped. The sauce was too clumpy and tagliatelle was overcooked. Perhaps a different, thinner pasta choice may be better. The vongole is not the typical white white broth based style and has tomato in its base too. Overall, really chill vibes. Staff are friendly, toilet is clean, food is clean and decent + they accept card payments with an additional 3% surcharge

  • 5/5 Vanessa A. 6 months ago on Google
    As a New Yorker , it’s very difficult to find tasty and authentic Italian in Thailand . But this place is delicious returning to try the pasta! $15 usd for peach tea, calamari and pizza . I have leftovers! Friendly staff . Happy customer here! Oh, and the owner is Italian!!! 🙌🏼🇮🇹🍕🍝🤌🏼 They accept Credit cards but as always there’s a 3% charge.

  • 4/5 Ann-Kathrin L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Authentic Italian place with delicious food. We had some bruschetta pomodoro, salad, penne al’Arrabiata (it is really Arrabiata) and a pizza. It is expensive but still worth it.

  • 5/5 Nikolas K. 4 months ago on Google
    Lovely Italian. The owner is a true Italian so are the ingredients. Nice staff. And for that price the quality is very good. Best pizza in Thailand so far

  • 5/5 Eliza P. 3 months ago on Google New
    Very great Italian place. Tasted very authentic and like something you would get in the US/NY. The pizza was okay, not much sauce. But the other dishes they had were so good!! Staff was sooo nice and the atmosphere feels so cute and fancy. reasonable prices.

  • 5/5 Jon J. 4 months ago on Google
    What a great find in Krabi town, authentic Italian food. We had the charcuterie board to share and I had the Chicken pizziola, others had the lasagna and a fettuccine Gorgonzola. Everything was fantastic. Must meet the oweners, Renato and Nut. Very good food and atmosphere will def go back. 5 stars all the way

    I ordered an Australian tenderloin Tagliata. Was served with a very tough and chewy beef steak. This was certainly not an Australian tenderloin! There were a mere 150gr (if lucky) steak. On a positive note, it was cooked to perfection, medium rare. Staff was very nice, and prices were not too expensive

  • 5/5 Lamia K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Quality Italian restaurant! The prices are correct compared to the surroundings (bistro at 2min which offers spaghetti bolo more expensive than an Italian restaurant) ... The pasta portions are generous and the ingredients are excellent (especially ground meat). In addition, perfect service, very pleasant! (Original) Restaurant Italien de qualité ! Les prix sont corrects par rapport aux alentours ( bistro à 2min qui propose des spaghettis bolo plus cher qu'un restaurant italien)... Les portions de pâtes sont généreuses et les ingrédients sont excellents (notamment la viande haché). De plus, service parfait, très agréable !

    I’m an Italia Chef by trade and Viva for me is the winner amongst all the restaurants I’ve tried in two weeks from north to south Thailand. 5 stars for cleanliness and for the food. Despite the oven isn’t wood fire the pizza is the best I’ve tried in Thailand so far and is also hard to find such a good one in Italy as well. Bravo renato, spero che apri un ristorante anche ad Ao Nang che li ammazzi tutti ☺️✅
