Good but expensive

Nice Italian food, but expensive for Thailand, even expensive for Phuket.

Great pizza

My friend ordered a “small” vegetarian pizza with feta, fresh spinach, olives, and it was quite large. It came out pretty quick. He loved it. I ordered pesto pasta. Noodles were cooked perfectly. I think pesto might have been from a jar. They had gluten free and vegan options. And vegan specials that sounded amazing like pumpkin ravioli with almond and curry, vegan chocolate mousse, and more. A bit spendy but the Kata area seems to be spendy. No photos because we scarfed it. Our waiter was knowledgeable about gluten free and vegan options, wanting pizza well done, etc.

Great Vegan options!

Had the veggie pizza with Vegan cheese and a tomato pasta with Vegan cheese as Well. Both very good! This place made up for how much we disliked kata beach and Phuket itself. Across the road from our hostel, fin hostel, which was also a very nice hostel to stay in! Although I did not really like the mushrooms on my pizza(tasted like canned mushrooms), I did love the crust, sauce and vegan cheese! Pasta was great as well. Service was also so good!

Pros: Vegan options in kata beach!! , Good pizza because they use a real pizza oven, Vegan cheese

Cons: Not the best pizza vegetariana I’ve had , Expensive for Thailand

Delish!

Vegan dishes are marked out on the menu which is very much appreciated and there is much to choose from. Pizza (with vegan cheese) and pasta dishes . And even vegan chocolate mousse! I took the pizza that was loaded with vegetables and it was very good! And the dessert was so creamy and nice! Its hard to get any vegan things here in Phuket with chocolate so the mousse filled my desires 😂

The restaurant is very nice and clean, alot of space. It was pricey though.

Pros: Many vegan options, Nice restaurant, clean, Delicious food

Cons: Expensive

Overwhelming amount of options

Edit: the chef called us over to chat. He has been vegetarian for 15 years, vegan for 5, and he appears to have been Italian for many more. He ferments his own vegan cheese and modifies dishes so he can enjoy them himself. He was happy to learn that 4 stars is the maximum on happy cow for non vegan exclusive restaurants and wants to have a place where vegans can enjoy a meal with people who may not share the same ideology or diet.

So many options we had a hard time choosing.
Pizza is on point. Don’t miss out on the vegan meatballs. Should be five stars. Come for a nicer sit down dinner, they have a legitimate pizza oven and put napkins in your lap. Free WiFi.

Delicious food just alittle pricey

Had the lentil and quinoa meatball special and the marina pizza made vegan with vegan chocolate mousse for dessert. Every dish was delicious and the staff are really helpful, additionally food comes out quickly. I would eat here every night if I could but that’s the only downside, it’s a little more expensive than other places nearby.

Pros: Tons of vegan options , Delicious food, Amazing service

Cons: Alittle on the pricey side

Great!!

★★★★★
I was so surprised to find a vegan restaurant (italian also!) in Phuket! Food is great! We took delicious pumpinks ravioli with almonds and curry sauce and a vegan lentils lasagna, that was very good. Pasta, cheese and desserts are handmade by Fabio, he is super kind and makes you feel like at your (vegan) home. I suggest to taste his meals and leave a review, to share as much as possible the vegan food habits and give a hand to vegan travellers around the world. Bravo Fabio! Thank you :)

Amazing vegan Italian food!

This Italian restaurant has lots of vegan options marked. The owner is really lovely. He is Italian and vegan. He makes all the food from scratch including the vegan cheese. We had a veggie pizza and the creamy mushroom and truffle spaghetti, both were incredible. Highly recommend.

5 stars!

They definitely deserve 5 stars. The vegan cream pasta was amazing, even got some vegan parmesan on the side. No one would ever know this is vegan if you didn’t tell them. Such a pity i had only one day in phuket and couldn‘t try all of their menu! It is expensive, which is the only con, but so worth it.

Pros: So many incredible sounding vegan options

spectacular!!

Wow! Blown away and ecstatic about my choice tonight! This place had a chalkboard with vegan specials which is what caught my attention. I had the whole wheat fettuccine with truffle cream and mushrooms and it even came with some noosh. I would definitely recommend this place, owner is there to take care of you, quality. Also, clearly marked veg/vegan items in menu.

Pros: clearly marked veg/vegan options

GREAT PIZZA AND GREAT SERVICE

Saw this place in happy cow and decided to wander over before actually trying the place. I talked to the restaurant manager, Fabio, and he told me he makes the vegan cheese himself. I thought that was interesting. They do woodfire thin based pizza. They do small, regular and gigantic. Small would definitely be for kids, regular about 10" and the largest one about 21". It's a bit more pricey than the rest of Kata but it makes up for it with quality. I'm hard to satisfy so I would know. Personally not a big fan of vegan cheese, but the vegan cheese here was not over loaded and complemented the pizza very nicely! If you're ever in Phuket and craving some italian food, drop by. Homemade pasta and pizza. Will return to try the gigantic one tomorrow.

Pros: Understand Vegan, Good range of vegan options, High quality and service

Cons: More expensive than other places

Delicious Italian style pizzas

This place knows their stuff and all menu is marked vegan/vegetarian/gluten free. No vegan cheese like Happy Cow states but their vegetarian pizza with no cheese was the best I've had in Thailand.

Pros: Authentic Italian food, Dedicated vegan specials menu

Cons: No vegan cheese, On pricey side
