Italian restaurant Rawai
Working hours: Mon - Sun: 12:00 - 22:00

Locanda Del Pescatore in Rawai is an authentic Italian spot on Phuket that feels like a small seaside trattoria. It’s the kind of place for an unhurried dinner — stay for a glass of wine and watch the shoreline. No flashy lights or “show” atmosphere here: just good music, a calm pace, and a cozy, relaxed vibe.

The menu focuses on Italian staples: crisp pizza, lasagna, homemade pasta, and plenty of seafood. A standout favorite is the spaghetti/linguine alle vongole, served with a rich sauce and fresh clams. You’ll also find crab pasta, gnocchi with blue cheese, spinach and nuts, octopus, and salads (including caprese). For dessert, tiramisu is a popular choice; espresso pairs well after the meal, and drinks like an Aperol spritz go nicely with the wine list.

Service is quick and attentive — polite, professional staff, and the owner often checks in personally. Portions are generous, and taking leftovers to go is easy. The restaurant sits right by the ocean: the view is especially beautiful during the day, and evenings bring a comfortable sea breeze. It’s also a good option if you’re visiting with a pet.

Prices are on the higher side, but the quality generally matches the bill. Occasionally, small issues happen (an overbaked pizza edge, overcooked ravioli, or an overly bitter latte), but the team usually tries to fix things promptly.
