PlanetX Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I went to pumpui last night and really enjoyed it Moonmuang Rd Soi 2 (Turn Left after MadDogs Pizza - drive past a few bars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venturalaw Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Don't know the name, but the Italian restaurant on Sunday walking street (inside the moat from Taipei Gate) maybe 25 yards down Walking Street on the left from Black Canyon Coffee (it's the first restaurant you will see) has original Italian style (thin crust) pizza that is excellent. The lasagna is very good too. I've been to Pumpui and was very disappointed. Wherever you decide, enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james24 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks guys load to consider which is cool. I've been to both pumpui's and the one near Thapae, have passed Casa Antonio's quite a few time I think, is that the one near Sacred Heart church...? Are the other two near Nimman perhaps...?

uptheos Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I went to pumpui last night and really enjoyed it Moonmuang Rd Soi 2 (Turn Left after MadDogs Pizza - drive past a few bars) Pumpui's is good and has stood the test of time. If it wasn't any good it would have packed up many moons ago. Edited February 15, 2011 by uptheos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) The place right next-door to UG's Book Shop on Soi Chiang Mai Kao. Da Stephano's. The chicken with wine sauce and mashed potatoes is outstanding! Edited February 15, 2011 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mestizo Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The place right next-door to UG's Book Shop on Soi Chiang Mai Kao. That is De Stafanos right? I finally got around to trying that place last week. Don't think I have ever been more disappointed in a meal, than I was with that one. The food (lasagna) was very bland and almost flavorless. Maybe it was an extremely off day for them, but I think I am too put-off to go back and try it again. I've tried Pumpoi's probably a year or more ago. Pretty good food, good service, nice atmosphere, etc. Quite enjoyable. Been meaning to go back. Pumpoi definitely gets my vote. -Mestizo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been there for a while, but remember very good pizzas and pastas (pesto in particular), frequented by lots of local Italians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOxon Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Every Italian living in Chiang Mai seems to open a restaurant and 99% of them are good to excellent. There surely can't be 100 of them or more? Edited February 15, 2011 by DavidOxon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millwall_fan Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I agree with all the suggestions. A couple of others: Girasole - down Rachadamnoen rd in the food court on the left hand side as you head toward Wat Phra Singh. Mrs Millwall_fan and I dned there last weekend and it was very good. Billy's: on Kampangdin Rd (formerly Chez Gibus) turn left onto Kampangdin off Loi Kroh and its about 100m on the left. 'Billy' is Burmese (well he's Chin really) and learned to cook italian food from Sergio of Bounissimo fame) Good basic Italian food at very reasonable prices. ....actually thinking of Sergio, he has downsized into a very agreeable little place right near Thapae Gate called Pizza e Vino. also very nice. The pizzas, pasta & parmigianos at The Olde Bell are good too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersSN Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 La Fontana on Ratmakka Rd gets my vote. Great food, good service, reasonable prices and a nice decor. I especially enjoy their pizzas. And they are part of Meals on Wheels 4u Link to Google Maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
