La Gritta Italian Restaurant

My husband made a reservation for our wedding anniversary dinner almost two weeks in advance. He chose this restaurant based on the many positive reviews, expecting a special and memorable evening for us. Unfortunately, our experience did not meet those expectations. From the moment we arrived, it felt as though our reservation was not anticipated. The table that had been reserved for us was not presented, and instead, we were simply asked to choose where we would like to sit. Food-wise: * Insalata Caprese – 10/10 (excellent) * Gargandole Pizza – 6/10 * Four Cheese Gnocchi – 8/10 The staff were polite and friendly; however, there was no acknowledgment of our special occasion. At the end of the evening, we were served a complimentary tiramisu—not for our anniversary, but for the hotel’s anniversary. I am currently pregnant, and my husband had clearly mentioned this in advance via email, that I cannot consume certain foods. As a result, we had to decline it. The staff offered vanilla ice cream as an alternative, which we appreciated, but unfortunately, the taste was disappointing, and we chose not to eat it. Overall, the experience lacked attention to detail and a sense of genuine hospitality. As someone working in the hospitality industry myself, I found this particularly disappointing. It did not reflect the level of service we expected from a restaurant with such strong reviews.

I had dinner at La Gritta in Phuket, and while the setting is beautiful, the overall experience did not justify the price. The atmosphere is the highlight (4/5) — a stunning seaside location, very romantic, and perfect for a relaxed evening. Unfortunately, the food fell short of expectations. The bread was very disappointing (1/5) — not fresh and lacking quality. The bruschetta (3/5) and carpaccio (3/5) were average and nothing memorable. The pasta dish was below expectations (2/5) — quite average and lacking depth of flavor. The biggest issue was the steak (3/5). I ordered it medium, but it arrived closer to medium-well, which affected both texture and flavor. Additionally, the steak was pre-cut in the kitchen, which I did not appreciate — it impacts juiciness and takes away from the overall dining experience. On the positive side, the wine selection was good (4/5), and the gelato (4/5) was enjoyable and a nice way to finish the meal. However, the most disappointing part was the value for money. The bill came to nearly 8,000 THB — and this was without ordering a bottle of wine, only two glasses. At this price point, I expected a much higher level of execution and attention to detail. Overall, La Gritta offers a beautiful atmosphere and good wine, but the food quality and pricing are not aligned. I will not return.

A must to visit restaurant in Phuket 🫶🏻 We really enjoyed the late lunch experience in La gritts italian restaurant. We made the reservation through a call from google location information, and the manager I think his name is Alfredo, but not sure, was very kind to confirm a table reservation with the sea view. We had a wonderful time enjoying the sunset view and delicious food. We ordered a rosemary potato, green salad, mushroom soup, sea food risotto, fresh juices mango and pineapple. Best were the potato and risotto, salad and mushrooms were also good but basics in any restaurant. At the end, they provided us a complementary sweet, a very delicious tiramisu. Thank you to all the polite staff in the restaurant for an excellent service. Special thanks to the manager, Som and Jiji, for such wonderful time spent in the restaurant.

A truly elegant experience, thoughtfully executed in every detail. The location is beautiful, offering a relaxing view and a refined atmosphere that encourages guests to slow down and enjoy the moment. The dishes stand out for the quality of the ingredients, balance of flavors, and impeccable presentation — a cuisine that reflects both technical skill and deep respect for tradition with a modern touch. A special thank you to the restaurant manager, with whom I was pleased to share our Sicilian roots. His professional, warm, and genuine hospitality elevated the entire experience and highlighted how authentic service can make a real difference. Congratulations to the whole team for their passion, care, and professionalism. A place well worth remembering and recommending.
