Trattoria Luca Cini by Chef Bruna is an Italian trattoria in Phuket’s Blue Tree area that focuses on authentic Italian cooking and a warm, home-style vibe. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel welcome: owners Luca and Bruna are often present in the dining room, happy to help you choose, and genuinely attentive throughout the meal. Annie, one of the servers, stands out for her friendly manner and easy, helpful recommendations.
The menu is built around the classics done right — pizza with a crisp crust (the Diavola and Quattro Formaggi are especially good), and pasta with the proper bite and rich, well-balanced flavor. The tagliolini gorgonzola e speck is a must-try, and tiramisu is the natural choice to finish. There’s also a wine selection that pairs nicely with dinner.
For daytime dining, it’s worth stopping by for the 4-course set lunch for 490 THB — a great option if you plan to come regularly, since the menu changes week to week. The space is comfortable for families with kids, and with parking nearby it’s easy to swing by on the way somewhere or after a workout in the area.
One small note: the pizza dough can occasionally feel slightly different from the style you might expect, but overall the kitchen maintains a consistently high standard of taste and quality.
