Great place for authentic homemade pasta. It’s not a traditional restaurant but a small setup in someone’s home, which gives it a unique and personal atmosphere. The pasta is truly homemade (no machine), and you can taste the difference. The gnocchi were perfectly soft and delicate, and the sauce was excellent. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. A couple of things to keep in mind: portions could be a bit more generous, and the location is quite remote, so it can be difficult to get a Grab back. It’s better to have your own scooter and be independent. Also, they only accept cash.

The Italian owner (Diego) really knows how to cook. It’s super authentic freshly made pasta using an old school manual pasta machine. He cooks it right from his home so it has a nice homely feel. We went during the low season so overall the country isn’t so busy so we were always served immediately. I highly recommend coming here especially if you’ve got a long SEA trip ahead of you. Food was so good we went twice while in Kampot. Check the opening times as well so you know when to arrive!

The freshest, most delicious pasta I have ever had, having never been to Italy. The setting is a patio overlooking beautiful farm land, where all of the herbs and other ingredients are harvested directly from. Even the actual pasta is made from scratch on order!

The food is absolutely incredible, truly authentic Italian food- the definition of a hidden gem! The owner Diego from Italy is amazing and so sweet, you can taste the passion for Italian food in his cooking! Went here twice during my short stay in kampot and hope to be back again for more of the homemade pesto, gnocchi & ravioli!!

Absolute gem of a place to find, with a friendly owner/chef, in the beautiful countryside of Kampot. I’ve been in Cambodia for a couple of months and have loved the Khmer food but to have traditional homemade Italian food was an absolute treat too. I’ve seen other reviews where people have said about having to wait, but it needs to be kept in mind that the food is being prepared and cooked fresh with one person…I personally felt it was worth the wait and highly recommend you visit. Can’t wait to visit again that’s for sure!!
