What Makes Little Roma the Best Italian Restaurant in Phuket
Everything that can be made in-house is. Pasta is homemade daily — tortellini, gnocchi and raviole, not dried pasta from a box — and risottos are cooked to order, finished with real Parmigiano Reggiano DOP and, in season, fresh black truffle. Combined with a wood-fired Neapolitan pizza menu and a genuine Italian atmosphere, it's a rare full package on the island.

If you're not sure what to order, a glass of Italian red pairs naturally with the Amatriciana or Bolognese, while the truffle dishes call for something crisp and white.

The Setting

Best Time to Visit Little Roma
For a quieter, conversation-friendly meal, go earlier in the evening or outside DJ nights. Thursdays and Fridays (evenings) bring live music and a livelier crowd, and Saturdays are the busiest night of the week thanks to Aperitivo Ciao Bella — great for a group night out, but worth booking ahead for. Sundays through Wednesdays tend to be the calmest choice for a relaxed dinner.
