To stumble across this little authentic Italian restaurant in Fishermans Village, Bophut was a lovely surprise. We were so impressed with our first dining experience we have been back 3 times since we have been in Samui.
Francesco (the owner) and his team are an absolute delight to spend time with, the level of service is perfecto!
Daniele the head chef is also Italian and after having travelled through Italy earlier in the year we have become partial to Italian style cooking and Daniele does not disappoint. We have tried multiple pastas on the menu and if you are looking for some delicious lamb chops he is an expert and ensures the best quality of meat is always on the menu. Daniele will always come out to say hi and provide his expert advice of what you should order. I also have a dietary requirement of no onion and garlic and most of his dishes do not use these ingredients, and the food is spectacular.
We love the feel of the restaurant and how homely it feels, Francesco will share time with you and surprises you with a welcome taste of prosecco, the girls are great and make sure you are very well taken care of and understand your dining style.
Great Italian wine selection and very well priced for Samui, they also have a great selection of Grappa too!
Cannot recommend L’Italiano enough, make sure you pop down there one evening if in Samui and become part of the family and enjoy the delightful atmosphere and authentic Italian food.
