As an Italian, I can honestly say this place is the real deal. At *La Lanterna*, I had one of the best *spaghetti alle vongole* I’ve tried abroad — perfectly cooked pasta and fresh clams full of flavor. The pizza? Just as impressive: light, crisp crust and top-quality ingredients. The dough is clearly made with care. The warm hospitality from the Italian owner adds an authentic touch that makes you feel right at home. If you're craving genuine Italian food in Koh Samui, *La Lanterna* is absolutely a must. Highly recommended! 🇮🇹🍝🍕

Cibo fantastico e staff super gentile. Il proprietario bravissima persona e competente. ...

Die beste Pizza auf Koh Samui, es war so gut, dass wir 2 Tage hintereinander hier Pizza gegessen haben. Bestellung für Lieferung ging sogar über WhatsApp. Sehr guter Service, große Empfehlung!

La Lanterna Chez Nello is an absolute delight for anyone seeking authentic Italian cuisine with a touch of elegance and soul. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The food was simply outstanding — every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauces rich and balanced, and the ingredients clearly fresh and high-quality. The pizza was a true standout — thin, crispy crust with just the right amount of char, and toppings that transported us straight to Naples. Service was impeccable — friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. The staff were happy to offer wine pairings and made sure everything was to our satisfaction without being intrusive. Whether you’re a local or a traveler looking for a memorable dining experience, La Lanterna Chez Nello is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Best pizza I’ve had in a very long time, and owner was Italian!! Thin, deliciously baked crust and high quality ingredients. Also tried a really nice chocolate brownie with melted chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Will come back again if I’m back in Samui!

Absolutely delicious! The food was amazing — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet elegant. ...

La Lanterna chez Nello,the restaurant you have to try at Koh Samui. A really good choice between Italian and Thai cuisine,best pizza,pasta and of course the steaks are out of this world. And not to speak about deserts,which are absolutely unbelievable. You can't visit Koh Samui without eating at La Lanterna chez Nello

Really nice restuarant. They bought you bread and olive oil as a complementary and the pizza was so good.

Настоящая итальянская пицца, очень качественные продукты! Особое внимание пасте, удивительное место, все три недели пребывания на острове Самуи мы были здесь! Том ям на высшем уровне!!! Пожелания поменьше сахара в тирамису) в остальном ...
