Chef Sasa — Restaurant in Chiang Rai Province

It’s been tough to find a real authentic Italian style pizza while in Thailand, I am sceptical about going to places as I don’t feel it’s going to be as good as I hoped but credit where credit is due. Chef Sasa delivered on all asepects. When we arrived we were seated at the only table free in the restaurant, I’d say this place can seat 20 inside and 6 outside.

Bruschetta is the only part of this experience that slightly let me down, only tomato and oil, I would have liked maybe 1 or 2 more and a little garlic/and or onion but that’s me just being a little picky. They were good and loaded.

Pizzas were superb. The sauce really set it apart from many other pizzas. A great size for a fair price. The menu is outside you know how much they are before stepping in and for a 13inch pizza, this is more than fair.

We like to be in and out of places within an hour if we can usually and it’s hard in Thailand as you’re usually on Thai time but Chef Sasa even when very busy, managed to do this which I thought was great.

Definitely worth checking out and would eat...

I should preface this by saying this is probably the best Italian food in Chiang Rai. That being said, the menu could use some improvement. Caesar salad. It's really a salad mista with chicken and a bottle of Caesar salad. The mixed baby lettuces are good but can't really be called a Caesar salad. Since the Caesar was invented in Mexico, the chef can be forgiven his interpretation. Salad caprese. Call it what it is. Mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Plate was nicely decorated with rocket. The mozzarella is tender. The tomatoes weren't very ripe. Noticeably missing was any Italian basil. It isn't a caprese salad without all three colors of the Italian flag. Pizza. The pizza is good. The crust is thin with a nice balance between crispy and chewy. Tiramisu. Meh. More like a bowl of butterscotch pudding to be blunt. All that being said, this is probably the best "Italian" food in Chiang Rai. Don't set your expectations too high or you might be disappointed. I'll be...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Italian restaurant helmed by Chef Sasa, and I must say that it was an absolute delight. One highlight of the meal was the wonderful selection of cold cuts, which were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.

The Neapolitan pizza was also a standout dish. The dough was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the toppings were expertly chosen and prepared. It was clear that Chef Sasa pays careful attention to the sourcing and quality of ingredients, as every bite had a wonderful depth of flavor.

Overall, I highly recommend Chef Sasa's Italian restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Italian dining experience. The combination of the cold cuts and pizza alone is worth the visit. I can't wait to go back and try more of Chef Sasa's...
