The Best Italian Restaurants in Bangkok
From the city's first Michelin-starred Italian to villa hideaways and 56th-floor rooftops, these are the best Italian restaurants in Bangkok, ranked for 2026.
Why we wrote this guide
Italian food is woven into Bangkok's fine-dining fabric more deeply than almost any other Western cuisine, and 2026 was the year it earned its overdue crown: Cannubi by Umberto Bombana became the first Italian restaurant in Thailand to win a Michelin star. That milestone sits atop a scene that runs the full length of the boot - Piedmontese luxury and white truffles at one end, honest handmade pasta and Neapolitan pizza at the other, with villa hideaways, riverside hotel rooms and 56th-floor rooftops in between.
What sets Bangkok's Italian rooms apart is the calibre of the chefs drawn here. Bombana of three-star Otto e Mezzo, Paulo Airaudo with six Michelin stars to his name, and Mauro Colagreco of three-star Mirazur have all planted flags, while chef-owners such as Christian Martena at Clara and the long-standing crews at Enoteca and La Bottega keep the everyday standard high. We ranked this guide by real search demand in 2026, so the order reflects what Bangkok diners are actually looking for, from marquee openings to trattoria stalwarts.
The range means you can eat Italian here for a quiet neighborhood supper or a full white-tablecloth event, and this guide covers the spread. Where a restaurant sits inside a hotel we have said so. Outside Las Vegas the restaurant reservation sits with the venue, not with us. Last updated September 2026.
The ranked guide
1. Enoteca (Sukhumvit 27)
Enoteca Italiana has been a fixture of the Bangkok Italian scene for years, half restaurant and half hidden wine bar tucked down Sukhumvit Soi 27 near Asok. The name means wine library, and it earns it: the list runs to nearly 400 bottles with a serious spine of Barolo and every Italian region represented. It appears in the Michelin Guide Thailand today, though without a star, and remains one of the city's more established Northern Italian kitchens.
The cooking is largely traditional, built on ingredients flown in from Europe and given a modern twist, and served in an intimate, low-lit room that has long made it a go-to for special occasions and anniversaries. It is the sort of place where the wine pairing is half the reason to come - settle in, let the sommelier lead, and treat it as a long evening.
See Enoteca.
Best for: a romantic, wine-driven Italian dinner.
2. Clara (Yen Akat)
Clara is chef-owner Christian Martena's contemporary Italian restaurant, set in a former art gallery within Yenakart Villa in the quiet Yen Akat lanes. A manicured lawn leads to a Bauhaus-inspired space of clean geometric lines and floor-to-ceiling glass, and the room is routinely called one of the most beautiful in Bangkok. It appears in the Michelin Guide and was named the 22nd best Italian restaurant in the world by 50 Top Italy in its 2026 guide.
Raised in Puglia, Martena cooks to a philosophy of minimalism - rarely more than three or four ingredients on a plate, each one pulling its weight. The result is high-end Italian defined by lightness and precision, not heft, with pasta and seafood handled cleanly and the flavors left to speak. For a modern Italian evening with real design credentials, nothing else in the city looks or tastes quite like it.
See Clara.
Best for: a design-led contemporary Italian celebration.
3. Cannubi by Umberto Bombana (Silom)
Cannubi made history in 2026 as the first Italian restaurant in Thailand to earn a Michelin star, set on the lobby level of Dusit Thani Bangkok near Silom. It is chef Umberto Bombana's Bangkok project, and it is named for the famed Cannubi hill of Barolo in Piedmont - a clear signal of where its heart lies.
Day to day the kitchen is run by executive chef Andrea Susto, who builds classically rooted dishes refined with contemporary technique across a la carte, tasting and set-lunch menus. A 350-label cellar backs it all up, while the two-level room looks out over the hotel's dramatic nine-story waterfall. This is Italian fine dining at its most luxurious in Bangkok.
See Cannubi by Umberto Bombana.
Best for: a landmark Italian fine-dining occasion.
4. La Bottega (Thonglor)
La Bottega, formerly La Bottega di Luca, has been a Thonglor institution since 2008, set on the second floor of The Terrace 49 on Sukhumvit Soi 49. Founded by chef Luca Appino, a genuine trailblazer of Italian dining in Bangkok, it built its name on rustic-yet-elegant cooking and honest, no-frills dishes made from fresh, carefully chosen ingredients. It is the neighborhood Italian that locals send visitors to.
The kitchen is now led by head chef Marco Avesani, a Verona native with previous experience at the three-Michelin-starred Roberto's in Dubai. His arrival has kept the menu of handmade pastas and seasonal classics ticking over with quiet consistency. With a cosy indoor room and an outdoor terrace, it is a relaxed but reliably good choice for Italian in Thonglor.
See La Bottega di Luca.
Best for: an unpretentious high-quality Italian dinner in Thonglor.
5. Riva del Fiume (Chao Phraya Riverfront)
Riva del Fiume is the Italian dining room at the Four Seasons Bangkok on the Chao Phraya, a riverside restaurant that pairs handmade pasta and wood-fired Neapolitan pizza with terrace tables set right on the water. Executive chef Andrea Accordi and chef de cuisine Enrico Maritan work through Italian cooking from north to south - crudi, handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza and lava-stone-grilled meats - built on seasonal, high-quality ingredients.
The room itself splits between breezy riverside seating and a high-ceilinged, open-kitchen dining room, so it flexes from a casual lunch to a celebratory dinner. It is the polished, dependable riverside Italian - the choice when you want genuine Italian cooking, a proper pizza and one of the best water views in the city without stepping up to a full tasting menu.
See Riva del Fiume.
Best for: handmade pasta and pizza with a river view.
6. Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo (Sathorn)
Sartoria opened in 2024 on the 56th floor of the EA Rooftop at The Empire, the largest and highest lifestyle rooftop destination in Bangkok, reachable straight from Chong Nonsi BTS. It is the city project of Paulo Airaudo, who has amassed six Michelin stars across a global group of restaurants, and it comes with one of the coolest open kitchens in town and some of the best views. It landed at number 9 on BK's Top Tables 2026.
The concept nods to the first tailor of Florence and the Tuscan tradition of suit-making - hence Sartoria - and the cooking follows suit, sharp and contemporary. Airaudo works the finest seasonal Thai and Japanese produce, including pristine fish and seafood, into a tapestry of Italian tastes and textures cut with knife-edge precision. For high-floor modern Italian with a serious chef behind it, this is the standout new address.
See Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo.
Best for: a high-floor modern Italian celebration.
7. Cote by Mauro Colagreco (Charoenkrung Riverfront)
Cote is the Bangkok restaurant of Mauro Colagreco, the only Argentine chef in the world with three Michelin stars, earned at Mirazur on the French-Italian border. Set inside Capella Bangkok on the Charoenkrung riverfront, it was elevated to two Michelin stars - the top of Bangkok's Italian-leaning field - topped BK's Top Tables 2026 at number 1, and placed No. 91 on the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants extended list for 2026.
The cooking is a contemporary reinterpretation of the Riviera that runs from Nice to Genoa, blending Mediterranean, French and Italian influences, executed by Italian chef Davide Garavaglia, who spent years at Colagreco's flagship. The light-drenched room and panoramic Chao Phraya views make it a serene, luxurious setting for one of the city's very best tasting menus. If you book one high-end Italian-Riviera dinner in Bangkok, make it this.

Best for: a top-tier riviera tasting-menu occasion.
8. La Scala (Sathorn)
La Scala is the refined Italian dining room of The Sukhothai Bangkok, set within the landmark hotel's tranquil gardens off South Sathorn Road. A long-celebrated fine-dining room built around an intimate open kitchen, where the chef de cuisine builds innovative yet rooted Italian cooking on the finest ingredients, many sourced directly from Italy. Handmade pastas, ravioli and seasonal Mediterranean dishes lead the menu, with an alfresco terrace beside the pool for warmer evenings.
See La Scala.
Best for: a garden-hotel Italian fine-dining dinner.
9. Isola by Signor Sassi (Ploenchit)
Isola by Signor Sassi brings the glamour of London's Knightsbridge to the G floor of Gaysorn Village on Ploenchit Road, a sister restaurant to the original Signor Sassi in Knightsbridge. It is one of the city's most photogenic Italian addresses, split between a sun-drenched, lemon-draped Lemon Room and a Mediterranean blue-and-white Blue Room, with refined coastal cooking anchored by a Spaghetti Lobster served with real theater. An extensive Italian wine list and lively aperitivo service make it a natural fit for long lunches, romantic dinners and see-and-be-seen celebrations.

Best for: a glamorous see-and-be-seen Italian evening.
10. Ms.Jigger (Langsuan)
Ms.Jigger is the chic, softly lit Italian room on the lobby floor of the Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, facing the hotel's own gardens in the Langsuan and Ploenchit district. By day, floor-to-ceiling windows and a sun-drenched terrace fill the room with light; after dark it shifts into ivory hues, plush seating and ambient lighting. At the helm is chef Danilo Aiassa, a Piedmont native, with standouts such as agnolotti ripieni spinaci, spatchcocked chicken alla diavola and a signature tiramisu. Romantic yet relaxed, with garden views and a considered wine list, it has become a standout among the city's luxury-hotel Italian rooms.

Best for: a stylish hotel Italian dinner with park views.
11. Rossini's (Sukhumvit, Asok)
Rossini's is the long-running Italian dining room at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, an easy walk from both BTS Asok and MRT Sukhumvit. Styled after an enchanting Tuscan villa, it blends trattoria warmth with hotel-grade polish, with a steady reputation as one of the more dependable Italian rooms in the Sukhumvit core.
The kitchen keeps to modern Italian cooking built on high-quality ingredients, backed by an extensive, Italian-focused wine list that makes it a comfortable choice for a romantic dinner, a celebration or a business meal. It is not chasing headlines - it is the well-run, familiar Italian you return to when you want the classics done properly in a warm setting.

Best for: a comfortable classic Italian dinner.
12. Baia (Sukhumvit 11)
Baia brings a slice of the Amalfi Coast to Sukhumvit Soi 11, one of the city's most energetic nightlife strips, behind an elegant coastal-Italian facade of warm tones, fringed chandeliers and a handsome wine bar. Led by chef Kostas Papadimitriou, whose background spans French, Italian, Greek and Asian kitchens, the kitchen turns out refined contemporary Italian cooking, from antipasti and fresh pasta to seafood and sharing plates, paired with an Italian-leaning wine list and signature cocktails. As the evening builds it shifts from dinner service into a music-driven room, making it a favorite for date nights and celebrations that want to keep going.
See Baia.
Best for: an Italian dinner that turns into a night out.
13. Giorgio's (Chao Phraya Riverfront)
Giorgio's is a romantic riverside trattoria at the Royal Orchid Sheraton in Bang Rak, set right on the banks of the Chao Phraya with a choice of an elegant mural-lined dining room or an al fresco terrace over the water. The kitchen specialises in authentic Italian cooking, from handcrafted pastas and risottos to premium meat and seafood mains, backed by fine Italian wines and warm, attentive service. A longstanding favorite for anniversaries and special occasions, the terrace is especially prized at sunset when the river glows under the skyline.

14. La Tavola (Ratchaprasong)
La Tavola is a stylish Italian restaurant on the third floor of the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel, moments from the Ploenchit and Chit Lom BTS stations and the Central and Gaysorn shopping district. It channels a warm, contemporary trattoria feel across an arched, softly lit dining room built around an open kitchen. The menu celebrates the coast and countryside of Italy in equal measure, with handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, fresh seafood and home-grown herbs, plus tableside preparation that adds a sense of theater. Polished but relaxed, with a well-chosen Italian wine list, it is a dependable downtown choice before or after shopping and meetings nearby.

The kitchen serves Italian-inspired comfort food with a creative local twist - stone-baked pizzas, handmade pastas and generously plated dishes made to be passed around the table - from breakfast and lunch through dinner and a weekend brunch. Welcoming, unpretentious and endlessly shareable, with photogenic desserts and Thai-produce drinks, it is the casual end of the city's Italian spectrum.
