Tips : Must order pizza if you are visiting Babylon. Day 1.... It is the height of Songkran and we are staying at Centara. Babylon is the nearest restaurant. Drove by and tried their Chocolate and Hazelnut flavour Gelato in the afternoon. Really not bad. Then in the evening to avoid being drenched we return for dinner. Funny enough we ordered Som Tom (Papaya salad) and Massaman Curry with Pork. I know. It's an Italian restaurant and it's absurd to order Thai food but we just had Italian lunch earlier. We didn't bring phone so no pictures today. Papaya salad is good. We ask for less fish sauce and sugar and they made it to perfection. Massaman Curry is good but sort of what you expect. No surprises here. Day 2.... Ordered Garlic Bread, Tagliatelle Mamma Rosa (Italian Sausage and mushrooms in Tomato Cream Sauce) and Beef with Sage, Parma Ham and Wine Sauce. Honestly I think dishes are just ok. Would like more sauce and fresh mushrooms in my pasta. Beef steak is a bit dry and chewy but I guess I might be expecing too much in Thailand. Day 3..... it’s the height of Songkran and to avoid getting drenched in our dinner clothes we dine at the nearest restaurant. Tried Gelato again this afternoon, Chocolate and Yogurt Cherry flavour. Both very good. Mer Nico the owner who was making pizza today. The pizzas from next table smell amazing last night so we already decided to have pizza tonight. Nico is very friendly and gave us some tips on how to improve our homemade pizza. At dinner we ordered Pizzas No. 12 Crudo (Parma Ham) and No. 33 Meat Love. Oh my God they were DIVINE!!! I know I have said best pizza a few times but there is always nice surprises in our travels and this is one of them. They slice their meats fresh right before adding to the pizzas. Crust is thin and not doughy. Just the right amount of crispiness for me. Not too much sauce and cheese therefore the pizza is not soggy. The result is a well balanced pizza which I consumed without guilt. I wish I have ordered pizza the first day or more time on the island so I can try more of...
Read moreGood Italian food with a pizza chef, a pizza oven, fresh pasta, and gelato. The waitstaff was warm and welcoming. We had the prosciutto pizza, squid ink spaghetti, tagliolini (one of their fresh pastas) with clams, and bruschetta with mozzarella and tomatoes. Everything was good. The pizza crust was thin, crunchy around the edges, and had a good amount of cheese and toppings. The squid ink spaghetti and tagliolini were generous with the seafood.
The gelato was good. We had the vanilla, and the hazelnut gelato. They also have a number of other flavors. It was refreshing.
Would recommend trying their food if looking for Italian, or some refreshing gelato. They also serve Thai food, but we...
Read moreSurprised how this place got this high of a rating. Probably from the earlier ratings 1+ yrs ago.
Literally the worst burger i tasted. Frozen meat was not cooked, had a chew and texture like gum. Dried tomatoes on top was horrible. Bun stale. It is amazingly harder to cook a burger this bad than just to cook an average one.
We both took a single bite and couldn’t eat it. Told them it was bad but were charged the full price anyways.
Waiters kindda hard sold us to the place. Didnt speak much English and havent even heard of Phat kaphrao. I had to order pork, rice and eggs separately.
Higher than average prices.
Avoid. You can look up my reviews for much better places...
