Pasta Fresca Thảo Điền

This is hands down my FAVORITE Italian food in Saigon. The flavor of each dish I have tried has been wonderful and very notable homemade, it tastes like genuine Italian food with no exceptions anywhere. The service has always been phenomenal, going above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and cared for, and even going out of their way to mention that rain was coming and asked how we were getting home to make sure we would be safe. I really can't say enough good things, and can only encourage you to go try for yourself.

I’ve been here many times and the food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistent. However, service could really use improvement. Staff are often inattentive, which affects the overall experience. Still worth visiting for the food, but hoping to see better service soon.

Tucked away in the heart of District 2, this Italian restaurant is a true culinary gem. The pizza might take a little time to arrive, but trust me—it’s worth every second of the wait. The dough is spot-on: light, airy, and full of flavor, with that unmistakable taste that transports you straight to Italy. The pasta dishes are equally impressive, crafted with care and bursting with authentic Italian flair. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in every plate they serve. If there’s one small bémol, it’s the side offerings—breadsticks and pizza dough served alongside are a bit too dry and plain, with the sticks leaning toward overly hard. But honestly, that’s a minor note in an otherwise fantastic dining experience. The ambiance adds to the charm: cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed evening out. Whether you're a pizza purist or just craving a taste of Italy, this spot delivers.

I wasn’t expecting to have fantastic Italian style pizza in Vietnam but I did! I ordered a Margherita and an Italian Salami pizza which were both so delicious that my family and I gobbled them right up! Definitely check this place out, you won’t be disappointed!

Food was great and resonably priced, especially for Thao Dien—two people should run you around 750k or more. The balsamic vinegar that comes with the caprese salad was *chefs kiss*. And the staff was beyond incredible, so gentle and kind. Cute spot they have, but it's outdoor in a small alley with traffic, so it does get noisy at times (bc folks honk excessively in VN).
