I am a long term Samui resident and a lover of quality Italian food. I have visited La Laterna on at least 10 occasions and it never disappoints. The food... read more is authentic and of the highest quality. The surroundings are classy and comfortable and the service is both friendly and efficient. I can recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner if really excellent Italian food is your priority.

  This was the best meal of our trip to Samui
Yes the place is small, but it is cosy, relaxed and fun.
The food was incredible and if we had... read more stayed for longer, we would have made a repeat visit. The wine was also to die for.
Amazing value and quality for Chaweng Noi.
The staff in the restaurant were welcoming, friendly and hard working.
The place was packed with people queuing up for a table.
I’d recommend making reservations in advance.

  A group of 4 families decided to spend Christmas Eve having dinner at this place. After making reservations and explaining we were 16 people, the restaurant was poorly prepared to... read more receive us. I got my food when 12 others had already finished their dishes. My 15 year old told the owner his carbonara was way too salty and his answer was: this is the traditional style. What was meant to be a good and memorable evening turned into a disaster that left everyone unhappy. We didn’t even ask for desserts. I understand that many restaurants have downsized their staff due to the pandemic, but we did make reservations, giving enough heads up to the management.
There was only one other table occupied while we were there, so I am sorry, but this experience definitely deserve a rating of 0.

  We have spent our Christmas holidays on Samui with family friends and have had dinner here 3 nights. The food is extremely good and super fresh. Also worth mentioning is... read more that we all got our food together! Choices on the menue are Italian and Thai although we chose the original Italian food each time we went. The owner is a super friendly and fun guy who definitely has created a wonderful small and original place that is absolutely a must going to.
So whenever you are in Samui don't miss having dinner here. You will definitely enjoy it!
