Bacco

[arsenal]

And so after a gentle trundle around the country lanes I headed to Bacco. It's an Italian restaurant located next door to The Glasshouse. Equally gorgeous in design but more European it boasts a wood fired pizza oven, a ten meter high wine 'cellar' and a suitably animated Italian chef. Complimentary grissini and ciabatta are served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The menu choice is huge but I had a pizza. Thin crispy base and topped with authentic mozzarella (buffalo milk) ham, porcini and artichokes. Over a foot wide it was pure pleasure to eat. The latte came with a little biscotti, that most moreish of coffee accompaniments. For a leisurely brunch, lunch or dinner it clearly rivals it's neighbour as a genuine destination restaurant. Thoroughly recommended.

I enjoy reading your pithy restaurant reviews, arsenal. Informative, inviting and over after one paragraph.

Sounds good.

But a look at google maps reveals it's way out of town, inaccessible unless you have your own ride or pay an exorbitant amount to be taken there by taxi from Pattaya.

The white songteow route on Sukhumvit will take you directly there.

That's half the fun Christian.

Had the lasagne and salad at Le Petite Planet. Very nicely presented and a generous serving it came with fresh French bread and butter. The taste was good but it was unfortunately overcooked so had a mushy texture. So of the three dishes I ate there all were executed poorly. Service can be well meaning but a little tiring and the staff can be on the loud side. This is a restaurant in need of a little tweak.

I had the lasagna last night at Fellini's on Pattayaland soi 1. Shared a huge mixed salad.
Best lasagna I've had in Thailand and piping hot from the oven. They also serve bread rolls, which
were hot and I believe baked in house. Very tasty .

Been there not memorable, if you want good lasagna go to Pan Pan (Jomtien location). I am anxious to try Bacco but unlike most posters living in or near Center Condo I have my own transportaion, other posters don't venture out of their very small world.

Anyone interested in really splendid Italian food and a short trip outside the city should consider Da Marco. I have had two superb meals there. It is not exclusively Italian and includes Some Swiss cuisine and some Thai. But it is some way out and in the middle of nowhere. A great find, though.

That's 800 m from Sukhumvit to the restaurant. I wonder how many members would walk 800 m twice for a dinner. Even I would be reluctant to spend that much time just getting to and from a restaurant.

Restaurant reviews should include accessibility and price range.

I think mahjongguy is suggesting that one takes a songtaew (a white one?) to the restaurant. Moreover there are other alternatives to walking: taxi, Uber and motorcycle taxi (do you have that in Pattaya?).
