Jingthing Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 There's no law that says you cant eat chips with Italian food, or with Indian food or any other food. I get that as I see Brits doing that a lot.In any case, I suggest that you try the food and see if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I doubt that I will as I'm not especially keen on Italian food, and I dont like the look of the people in the place anyway (and I dare say they dont like the look of me either ). I was interested in the mention of chips, though at 160B it is very unlikely indeed that I would ever order them. I would rather buy a sachet of frozen ones in the Topps next door for 99B, and fry them up at home. Just to reassure anyone who is concerned, I am not the sort of Brit who has chips or bread and butter or tea with everything, but I do defend the rights of those who are.

If the frozen chips sell for 99 then 160 at El Bocca seems reasonable. After all you still need to buy the oil, pan, stove, gas, condiments, napkins, cleaning supplies....and you have to do the cooking, serving & cleanup.

Oink Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not more Pizza and Pasta please. When are we going to get somwhere that sells real Italian food other than an excuse for childrens cheese on toast and pasta! One of the best italian meals I have had so far is Don Joes in Walking street. At least you can get a decent mixed platter and Antipasto! Oh! and they also sell pizza if you really have to eat that rubbish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrel Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If the frozen chips sell for 99 then 160 at El Bocca seems reasonable. That depends on the size of the portion/packet. After all you still need to buy the oil, pan, stove, gas, condiments, napkins, cleaning supplies....and you have to do the cooking, serving & cleanup. I used to do mussels and chips at home every other week for about 30 years, so that's not a problem. I've never really enjoyed being served in restaurants and I prefer to do things in my own way for myself. The lingering smell of frying oil is a different matter though, and is something I'm happy to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 There are scads of German restaurants in Naklua. Which one is being spoken of? Then, I think in all fairness, this topic happens to be about a SPECIFIC major new restaurant in Jomtien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadingo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 One opened near Soi Arunothai off Pattaya Klang a few months back. Small pizza 99 Baht. Large 199 Baht. Maybe that gives an idea on prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddi Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 La Bocca. We've eaten there twice and will do it again. Good Italian food and priced between Trattoria Italiana and Pan Pan. However, I think the steak was listed at THB 600 which is OTT for me, wine was reasonable though. Unusually they actually have an Italian chef (I'm sure he'll be replaced by a local one day soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZurf Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Went to La Bocca last night. The food was good but had to wait for about 45 minutes. According to the waiter the staff don't get anything of the service charge. He said it was for the bread etc that is placed on every table! Will not return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Yes, the food is good. It is high season and they get full during peak times. Open for dinner only. I suggest the pizzas/calzones over the pastas. Tried two pastas so far, less than stellar, and overpriced for the portion sizes. No comment on the service charge issue.

Jayman Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I can guess without even looking at the menu that it's going to be absurdly overpriced and will probably be desperately advertising on local TV soon. What Jomtien really needs is a couple of decent breakfast places like Diana Dragon and Casa Pascal, and more Thai places like the night market at the top of Soi 5, at which there are currently so many farangs most evenings that you have to queue for a seat to get your noodles. These are the places that are doing good business, not the silly "designer" places. What's wrong with "The Continental" for breakfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
