a’ Mare

a’ Mare in Patong (Phuket) is a distinctly Italian spot where the food, presentation, and overall vibe instantly evoke the Mediterranean. Their standout is wood‑fired pizza — thin crust, well-balanced toppings, and the kind of “proper” execution you’d expect in Italy. Calzones are on the menu as well.

The kitchen focuses on high-quality ingredients and authentic recipes. You’ll find seafood and mushroom pasta, linguine alle vongole generously loaded with clams, spaghetti with mixed seafood, shrimp risotto, and meat options such as ribeye. Starters include focaccia and charcuterie boards; there’s an easy wine match for dinner, and espresso to finish. Occasionally, guests are treated to a glass of grappa.

The menu is broad but straightforward, with gluten-free options available. Portions are generous, and the service is quick and attentive. The venue also offers accommodation on-site — handy if you’d like to combine a relaxed stay with comforting, “at-home” style dinners.

A few things to note: in the evenings, noise from the busy street and nearby venues can be noticeable. Visa card payments may incur a fee, and it’s best to check the bill and any change right away.
