From rustic, family-run trattorias serving recipes passed down through generations to elegant fine-dining establishments helmed by Michelin-starred chefs, the city offers a taste of Italy for every mood and occasion.

But with so many choices, how do you find true authenticity and quality? We’ve twirled the pasta, sampled the tiramisu, and sought out the perfect wood-fired pizzas to create this definitive guide. This is your curated list of the best Bangkok Italian restaurants, built on years of dining experience. Whether you’re craving a comforting bowl of carbonara or an exquisite tasting menu, your next great Italian meal awaits.

Why Trust This Guide?

As a Bangkok local and the founder of Bangkok Days, Italian food has been the backdrop for some of my most memorable meals—from celebratory birthday dinners at fine-dining spots to casual Tuesday night pizzas at a neighborhood favorite.
