Tucked away from the main thoroughfare of Charoenkrung Road in the Bang Rak area of Bangkok, Mazzaro can be found serving up its offering of Thai/Italian delights just a stone's throw from the riverfront Shangri-La.
Offering a welcome alternative from cheap, insalubrious local restaurants and the expensive hotels in the area, this café-style eatery is the brainchild of mother and son (Chef Pin) – the Phothisoontorn's – who originally transformed the family-run boutique into a restaurant in 2008.
The result is a wonderfully relaxed dining area – still flanked by the aforementioned boutique – and a menu peppered with ancient family recipes, treats from Chef Pin's time at Le Cordon Bleu and perfect pasta.
I enjoyed a delicious bowl of spicy, prawn linguine on our first visit, while my partner tucked into a traditional Thai beef salad. We loved it so much we came back for more at the end of our trip, this time sampling a traditional tom yum goong (spicy, prawn soup) and baked seabass cooked in a caper butter, with the most delicious garlic bread both of us had tasted in a while – I think it was seasoned with tarragon?!

Oh, and did I mention that the bar is stocked with plenty of interesting spirits, local and international, mixed into cocktail perfection by Mazzaro's resident mixologists? No, well, there you go – even more reason to pay them a visit.
Price point: cheap as chips –
still OK – getting pricier – pricey – super fancy, but worth it!
