La Vela Pizza and Pasta Restaurant — Restaurant in Phra Khanong Nuea Subdistrict

Small restaurant in Phra Khanong. As I drive pass very often, it seems a very popular place so after a year we decided to try. It is really not easy to access and you have to park at Max Valu which is 200 meters away. The place is a townhouse in front of a very busy street which means it is very noisy when you try to have a nice dinner. Music volume is poorly controlled and very old tunes. Food we tried was overall very average for the price you pay. Plate presentation no effort at all. Ravioli were tasty but a bit shocked to have large bacon slices in the sauce. Caesar salad is an italian classic and it came very dull. Cutting salad leaves in small pieces is not so good to look at. Pizza was alright but the dough is very heavy. Staff was pretty nice and the chef came out to greet all tables which is very nice. We might come another time as it might have been...

A little cafe-style, but nice and rustic, Italian restaurant runs by an Italian chef in Bangkok. The chef offers classic dishes of pastas, pizzas and main Italian dishes along with his occasional specials. Ask for them and try. Or ask Chef Giovanni to make something special to your liking. Aside from homemade bread and pizza dough, you can also order Italian expresso and cocktail drinks & wines. A good place to visit for leisurely dining with friends or family members. Price of dishes ranges from around 200THB (US$5.30), with most dishes in 400THB (US$10.50) range. Some beef and lamb dishes are higher, of course.

There is no parking at the restaurant, so take taxi. Or, if driving there, park at the 24-hour MaxValu Supermarket a short walk away on main street. Enter the Soi (small alleyway) on Pridi...

Dude, this place is f--kin Badass!!! Little place serving up fresh righteous food. The Truffle Ravioli is as good if not better than Antonio's!!! I could eat it all day long and less than 400 baht. Best calzone I have had in the whole city!! Artichoke , mushrooms and a wicked ham!! Big , puffed up mama Jamaica. You can't beat this one. The carbonate was great. . They got some nice bread you eat with tomato sauce and Parkeston before the meal. The lunch set is like 299, cheaper than El Mercado and it's not lunch set sized. You're gonna get full portion here. Giovanni is the owner, nice dude. Introduce himself as Johnny, that's cool too. This is a GREAT PLACE!! Hidden Gem. Don't miss out on this one. You can thank me later. Cheers mates Oh, and he imports a bunch of pasta from Italy you can't get...
