One To Taste Homemade Pasta — Restaurant in Dan Samrong Subdistrict Municipality

I was staying for a while at a hotel nearby and stumbled upon this place. I decided to return for dinner on a Saturday night and was surprised I was the only guest.

I learned it is typically quite busy but post-holiday could explain the lull. That was fine, I enjoy quiet dinners and the decor and music were nice atmosphere.

I pretty much already knew I wanted to try the special of 690 baht for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc (imported) + Carbonara + Caesar Salad.

I was served promptly. The wine was beautiful, cold, and crisp. The Caesar Salad was tasted like the dressing was heavy on mayonnaise? And a bit too salty for my taste. Also, perhaps they ran out of Parmiggianp Reggiano? There were none of the large shavings as pictured and that is part of the delight (and $) of ordering a Caesar Salad. My opinion: salad was average sized and underwhelming.

I opted for Fettuccine as my pasta of choice for the Carbonara and the "with cream" option. It was tasty but for me a bit watery and messy: the cream was very liquid-y and splashed all over. The pancetta was good - could have been cooked a smidge more. Think the portion was... average? It came with an egg yolk that you mix in yourself as a nice touch.

I had an additional glass of Montepulciano that was good.

Overall, the place is nice, the concept cool. I suppose for Bangkok and price point that was why I left a bit hungry lol

The main server is nice and seems fairly knowledgeable about the food. Not sure about the wine though. I found out later it was actually the owner who greeted me and took my order (studied in Switzerland I was told by the server). A small point: I was the only guest. I think it would have been nice to come inquire what I thought about the food after but no interest there. I do actually reside in Bangkok and generally if there's not much to do it's always a nice touch (and good practice?) to talk to people, inquire about their experience and express personal gratitude for the patronage. I also love talking all things culinary so would have loved to hear about the journey.

I wonder sometimes if I am too nit-picky and I guess it comes from 15+ years in hospitality (world-rated places, etc) so take my review for what you will as I notice things most people would not. There's other reviews that extol Michelin-potential: I wouldn't go that far - yet. The place does have outstanding unique qualities and potential for the market though.

Seems like it'd be a good place to splurge on a dinner with a date or small group. Good...

Loved the food. Pasta was tasty, especially the truffle mushrooms. I recommend trying the 4 tastes one to try the different types.

I was a bit disappointed to see 17% added to the bill at the end (service charge + tax). It's not common to experience this in the area and it's the reason why I moved away from BKK city centre. Customers should learn about this before ordering to avoid digestive disappointment. Or just include the fees in your pricing.

Otherwise, it's a good place to have dinner, lacking the Italian charm but the pasta...

Visited this place with an expectation because of the good reviews. The menu is quite interesting and we decided to order the recommended dishes. The salad we had was way to sour, sadly. It has the yuzu fragrance but its sourness overpowered everything. The tomyum risotto was salty, the tomyum taste was similar to that of the tom yum instant noodles. The spaghetti with seared scallops was good, the truffle soup bland and the mocha tasty. I appreciated the super nice service and the restaurant's eagerness but it...
