The experience we had here was unbelievable! La taverna is part cosy little restaurant with a semi formal but relaxed feel reminiscent of a 1960's Trattoria, Part modern cocktail lounge with cruisey beats and comfy couches.The owner is a flamboyant character in his tight jeans and silk shirt and crazy long white hair and very, very personable, greeting all his...

From the moment you enter and are greeted in Italian you feel that you have left Thailand outside the door. Try the mains as I did just wonderful. Next time I'll try their pizza but I knew the mains would be delicious. I had the beef cooked roman style- excellent. It's not expensive so be brave and leave the street.... More

My wife and I were so impressed with this restaurant we ate there 3 times. Situated just off the main road in Chaweng it is set in a quiet haven. As you walk through the front door to be greeted by a smiling member of the waiting staff, especially Anghkara who was so helpful, you are immediately made to feel... More

La Taverna's owner Carlo really makes this restaurant stand out, he is in every evening greeting and talking to diners - a great front of house man. We've eaten here many times and can recommend starters like vitello tonnato and the bresaola. For main courses the pastas are normally very good as are the large thin crusts pizzas (enough for...

Are you going to eat Italian food when you are on Koh Samui is La Taverna far the best option. The food is fantastic and both the owner Carlos and his staff are extremely nice and takes care of their guests in the best possible way. During our three visits to the restaurant we tried both antipasto, pasta and pizza... More
