The review following this one has made me laugh! We ate at Dolce Vita four times during our stay on Ao Chao Pao. It's without a doubt the best restaurant in this area but there's not much competition. But as the other poster says - OMG - one of the waiters is SO grim. The other, more junior I think,... More

As we stayed next door at the Seaflower Bungalows (see our review), we ate twice at La Dolce Vita. After 2 weeks Thai food, it was fantastic to find this litte peace of Italy in Thailand. The food was pure and really Italian. The pasta tasted fresh and home made. The view on the Ocean was a fine extra. Definitly... More

Me and my girlfriend went into this restaurant with high hopes, because of the earlier reviews on this site. It was a quiet night and there was only 2 other tables other than us. First when we ordered, it took some time(more than usually in Thailand) to get the waiter to understand the order. Second, the arrival of the food... More

Dear Guest, we are sorry your dinner with us was disappointing. However we believe that saying that our homemade pastas are worse than microwave oven-heatable ready-to-eat boxes is very unfair. Italian sauce is imported from Italy, as well as parmesan, gorgonzola, spaghetti, balsamic vinegar and several other ingredients. We have been successfully in business for over 4 years and being...

We stayed at Had Yao and luckly took a stroll up the beach to find this hidden gem. The restaurant food and service was so good that we decided to move to the attached hotel. The restaurant is modern but true to the thaitradition and the view is great, especially at sunset. The food was perfectly preparated and we dined... More

We ate here a couple of times and he food was ok. Although we were brought the incorrect dish once, no big deal. The location is very pretty. However on our third visit in a week we asked for the wi-fi password in order to check my mail on my ipad. The Italian owner refused to give us it, saying... More

If you are on the island - that would be a total sin to miss an exquisite mix of Thai and Italy in the stylish La Dolche Vita restaurant. Any dish in there prepared with the great love and worm of the Thai-Italian couple. You have to try the signature HorMok Tale (seafood with the gentle touch of the heavenly... More

Excellent italian food and wine, served in a beautiful restaurant with a stunning seaview! Good value for money! Try especially the bruschetta for starter and any pasta for main. And to top it off: Tiramisu. The best i have ever tasted! More
