About Locanda Del Pescatore

Tables under white parasols on the sand line of Rawai Beach, longtail boats bobbing a few metres off and Koh Bon across the bay. The kitchen fires pizzas in a wood oven, makes its own pasta and cooks fish the Italian way — snapper from the grill, sea bass in acqua pazza — which stands out on a seafront of Thai grills. Mains run 530–850 baht. Lunch brings the breeze and the pick of the tables; book dinner in high season.
