petercallen Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 We went to Nikitas yesterday afternoon, the size of the serves and the quality of the food has improved slightly. I think its a great place to sit under the tamarind tree and relax with a drink. Has anyone eaten tamarinds and know what they taste like, they look like dog turds to me and that puts me of buying them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamarind can be a bit sour, and as shake or sauce it usually contains sugar. If you havent tried shrimps in Tamarind, you really have missed some delicious Thai food Best in Kata are Red Chair in Koktanod 80 baht, and Kata Mama on south end of beach 120?baht with large shrimps. Just to get some Tamarind taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously don't know why everyone claims it's the best on the island. Pasta that was so salty i had to send it back, Calamari was flavorless and oil soaked and the deserts were ordinary. Amalfi is Nai harn or Di Vinci have better pizza's and pasta's by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone claims Capanina is the best on the island, some could be right During my +6 years of dining or taking home food from Capanina, I have been disapointed only a couple of times. Happens with any restaurant if they serve you 100-200 times. Da Vinci was ok with the previous owner, but not on par any more so we disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Ever since some idiot in a Da Vinci fortuner tried to run me and my family off the road, speeding like a maniac, I refuse to give that place a try. I do want others to view my review on the Saigon restaurant in Chalong. Really worth the trip (but not considered falang food, per the topic).

Old Croc Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I've also had reason to be pissed off by one of those pushy Da Vinci Fortuners on Sai Yuan.

What a load of h***seshi* katasyd. I've been eating at Campanina long before it was popular and Mario typically does a great job. I think if katabeachbum has eaten there some 200 times that trumps your one bad meal. Get over yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if katabeachbum has eaten there some 200 times that trumps your one bad meal. Get over yourself. Way to live up to your username I've had bad meals at most of the restaurants that are my favorites, it happens and it does for numerous reasons. It's bad at Capanina at least 50% of the time i've been and the bitter staff don't make it a pleasurable atmosphere either. Maybe it's because he has stretched himself after the renovations/expansion and it's too much work for the poor old sod but it is far from being at it's best or the best Italian around. You should venture outside your routine and try something new and not judge a restaurant by the way a company car is driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capanina wasnt much of an "in" place the initial months of business. But food was IMHO (and my son who happens to be a chef) at that time the best Italian in Phuket. Later we have been blessed with some more excellent Italian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if they just moved? Maybe he's moved house. I always wondered if he even had the proper permits to run a restaurant out of his living room and car park. I tried Ellis once and thought it was good, but the ambiance sure wasn't the best. Take away orders only! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillR Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 RE:permits Im pretty sure if its all in a thais name about 400Baht and a trip to the orbitor allows you to run a restaurant, of course a liquor license is extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
