"This restaurant is the only among Italian restaurant on Samui where fried seafood mix is presented. Highly recommended! This dish is for 1 person (as for me).
We also ordered Limoncello, it is homemade by the restaurant’s owner, the taste is delicious.
The owner is very polite, service is the best!"

"Took my daughter out for an Italian today, she loves Spaghetti.
This restaurant is one of those unexpected little gems that just surprises you with the quality of the food.
If you are in Samui, and fancy an Italian, then don’t go anywhere else. This seriously was awesome.
I love pizza, this was hands down the best pizza I’ve had for a very long time.
Will be a regular treat for me now.
The only thing I would like to see, is maybe a small kids menu as the portions are far too big for kids, but they will box up any left and explain how best to reheat as well. 😉"

"Went early at around 17 -18.00. I was the only one in restaurant. Took a capriciosa pizza, smooty and banana icecream desert. Pizza was clearly not made in a firewood oven, it felt like that dough had some days under its belt in the fridge before ...and was not properly baked as well. Pizza was only properly cooked in the middle. The rest of ingrediends felt very cheap especially the mozzarella, given the taste, something you'd forget the moment you stepped out of the restaurant. I suggest the owner or cook try a visit to Baci or Prego see how a proper pizza is made. Not perfect, not a firewood oven, but a far cry from what I ate today. At 400+ baht for a pizza ( pretty much the price you pay in Italy) you'd expect much better.
Icecream desert was okish, and helped ease the burn.
Pineapple smoothie was awful though."
