Gusto Italiano

Gusto Italiano was a wonderful surprise with so many restaurants to choose from at Fisherman Village in Koh Samui we took a chance on this restaurant. We were seated at an open counter facing the beach. The fettuccine Bolognese was excellent. The spicy salami pizza was flavorful and crust was cooked perfectly. It was the best pizza I've ever had here in Thailand.The fresh ingredients shine through in every bite. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, all the staff were fantastic. Definitely will return.

I tried this italian restaurant because of the good reviews. We'll, I was disapointed. The location on the beach and the ambiance is amazing. This is why you are paying the big price. The wine was excellent but the food had no taste at all. I was expecting flavorfull food for this price but it was not the case. I would not return. I paid 1500 baht for one person. It was one of the most expensive food and wine I bought so far in Thailand and probably the less memorable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’ve eaten Italian food across Italy itself, so our standards are not easy to meet. Gusto Italiano met them — and then some. The setting alone is worth the visit. Fisherman’s Village is one of the most charming spots on Koh Samui, perfect for an evening stroll, and the restaurant sits right on the beach with tables at the water’s edge and an uninterrupted view of the sea. The kind of place you don’t want to leave. The pleasant sound of the sea and relaxing, pleasant jazz music plays in the background. Beautiful, stylish interior inside the restaurant. Perfect. The food matches the atmosphere. The Seafood Risotto was flawless — properly mantecato, perfectly timed, generous with the seafood. Spaghetti alle vongole - aromatic, tasty sauce of perfect consistency, lots of shellfish without sand, spaghetti al dente, as requested. The pizza was just the way it should be. The pasta was thin, but the edges were fluffy, well-risen and airy, the most delicious ingredients, high-quality mozzarella and tomatoes. For dessert, we chose tiramisu. Classic, delicate, flavorful, delicious, pure delight. And the wine: Argiolas Costamolino Vermentino DOC from Sardinia — order it without hesitation. Citrus, white flowers, Mediterranean herbs, and a mineral finish that belongs by the sea. A perfect pairing for every dish. The service is very remarkable and worthy of attention, where Thai waiters try to speak Italian with you and manage your table responsibly. A special mention to the owners, Marco and Roberta— true professionals in every sense, warm and genuinely welcoming. From the first moment you feel not just like a customer, but like a cherished guest. That kind of hospitality is rare. A truly authentic Italian experience on the shores of Koh Samui. We’ll be back.
