5 Best Italian restaurants in Bangkok
Bangkok offers arguably the best Italian food scene in Thailand. Carry on reading to see our top recommendations in no particular order.
Via Emilia
Opening hours: Daily, 11.30am to 11pm
Address: Via Emilia Italian Restaurant, 1040 Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra 17, Lane 5, Thung Maha Mek, Sathon
Social media: Facebook | Instagram
Via Emilia was awarded the Best Italian Restaurant 2023 by none other than Italians themselves in a TV show called Little Big Italy, so you’re sure to get the real deal here. Andrea Bernardi, the owner of Via Emilia, believes in sharing the lesser-known but undeniably delicious aspects of Italian cuisine with diners. Every bite will transport you to Via Emilia, a historic 300 km Roman road in the Emilia Romagna region in Italy – yes, that’s exactly where the restaurant’s name comes from.
Starters are crafted with the same level of detail as the mains at Via Emilia. We can’t get enough of their Calamari e Parmigiano, which features a combination of tender grilled squid, creamy potato, and Parmigiano Reggiano cream. If you’re craving something classic yet delicious, the Piadina Tricolore is a must-try. Fun fact: it’s one of the famous street foods that can be found every 500 metres in Emilia Romagna!

For the mains, Parma e Burrata steals the show. Topped with Burrata cheese, Prosciutto di Parma, rocket, and oregano, every ingredient in this crunchy yet chewy pizza shines brilliantly on its own yet perfectly complement each other. The Brodetto di Pesce seafood stew is another wholesome showstopper that showcases the quality of its fresh ingredients. Then, finish off your meal on a sweet note with Latteruolo al Caramello, a recipe from Pellegrino Artusi, a well-known author of the famous 1891 Italian cookbook. This Romagna-style vanilla creme caramel has just the right level of sweetness, silkiness, and temperature. And what’s an Italian feast without wine? With an exquisite selection in their wine cellar, you’ll surely find the perfect pairing for your dish.
In addition to their classic dishes, Via Emilia offers a special menu that rotates every 15 days. Therefore, each visit is a chance to try something new and exciting. With a cosy space, attentive staff, and swift service adding to the experience, Via Emilia truly stands out as one of the best Italian restaurants in Bangkok. Oh, and did we mention that they’re also pet-friendly?
Dolce Italian Seafood & Wine Bangkok

Dolce Italian Seafood & Wine might be a newcomer to the Bangkok Italian restaurant lineup, but they’re already causing quite a stir with their delectable dishes and charming ambience. Stepping inside Dolce Italian Seafood & Wine, you’ll know right away that it’s the place for a romantic night out, thanks to the Mediterranean charm and pinkish-red bougainvillaea cascading from the ceiling. Not just for couples, this enchanting restaurant offers a laid-back setting that caters to lively family gatherings and fun nights out with friends as well.
The Dining Room is where the real magic happens. It features an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs work their magic right before your eyes. But if you want to feel like you’re eating in Italy, then take a seat in the Wine Bar Zone. Moreover, private rooms are also available.
Now let’s talk about the food. Dolce Italian Seafood & Wine seamlessly blends traditional Italian and Mediterranean cuisine with Japanese influences. They only use premium seafood ingredients, and you can really taste it in every dish. Take, for example, their Kinki Whole Rockfish. It’s simple but bursting with complex flavours that showcase the freshness of the sea.
We also recommend trying the Crab Tagliolini. The tagliolini pasta is cooked to perfection, providing the ideal base for the succulent crab meat to shine. Other big winners include Botan Sweet Shrimp & Caviar, Truffle & Scallops, and Sake Nori Taco. Each combines flavours in unexpected ways that will leave your taste buds begging for more. You’ll want to round up your loved ones since the dishes are perfectly portioned for groups. But let’s be real, you might just be tempted to finish everything yourself.

Address: Rava Restaurant, 22 Sukhumvit 33 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110

Rava Restaurant is one of those places you almost don’t want to share because it’s that special. Set in a peaceful villa in a soi just across from Empsheree, with the option to dine indoors or outside by a quiet pond and old trees, it’s got that rare mix of calm, charm, and character. Perfect for a romantic night out, a laid-back business lunch, or even a little celebration with friends.
The vibe is warm and welcoming, but the real magic happens in the open kitchen. You can watch Chef Marco Ravasio and his team in action, firing up wood-oven pizzas, grilling meats to perfection, and plating dishes that taste just like northern Italy. Chef Marco’s all about doing things the right way, no shortcuts, just top-quality ingredients and time-honoured techniques.
With over 25 years of experience and long-standing relationships with trusted suppliers, Chef Marco brings an honest, authentic touch to every dish.
If you have the chance, you will have the chance to see Chef Marco in action with the Pasta alla Ruota where he cooks and mixes the pasta into a large wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano. Other than the strong, salted, and creamy flavour of the melted parmesan, you will see the spectacle of the flame and mixing.
So if you’re in the mood for great Italian food and a setting that feels like a little escape from the city, Rava is definitely one to try. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer, glass of wine in hand, and good company all around.

La Bottega
Opening hours: Opens daily, 11.30am to 2.30pm / 5.30pm to 10.00pm
Address: La Bottega, Terrace 49 Building Terrace 49 2nd fl, Soi Sukhumvit 49, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
Social media: Facebook | Instagram
La Bottega isn’t just a pretty face in Bangkok’s Italian dining scene, it’s got the creds to prove it. With accolades like Thailand’s Favourite Restaurants 2025 by Koktail, a spot on the Star Wine List 2023, and a Restaurant Guru 2024 Recommended badge, this place is clearly more than just pasta and pretty plating.
So, what makes La Bottega stand out? First, there’s Chef Marco Avesani, a Verona native who brings a fresh, modern spin to traditional Italian dishes, using seasonal ingredients and time-honoured techniques. Diners rave about everything from black truffle carbonara to slow-roasted meats and don’t even get us started on the wine list (clearly star-worthy).
Set in a cosy Thonglor villa with a breezy outdoor terrace, it’s ideal for date nights, quiet escapes, or showing off your fine taste in Italian food. And if you’re lucky, Chef Marco might even whip up something special just for you because here, personal touches are part of the experience.
Guests often return for signature dishes like the homemade angel hair with black truffle carbonara, the New Zealand lamb rack, and the creamy house-made gelato, which changes with the season and Chef Marco’s inspiration. Other popular picks include lobster soup, squid, risotto, and ravioli, each served with the kind of care that turns a meal into a memory.
Basically, La Bottega isn’t just recommended. It’s rewarding and for good reason. Buon appetito!
