VILLA OPÉRA

Best of everything I've every tasted in an Italian restaurant so far, definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing food! It was my first time being in Vientiane, Laos and this was essentially the only place that had me coming back consistently for the food. As a foreigner, it was pleasing to see that the establishment was very clean and clean water was served straight from the bottle. I came here everyday, and Pinot and his staff were extremely welcoming each time. Pinot is a very talented chef and can even customize any dish you'd like. He's passionate about quality ingredients and sources from Australia, Italy and Bangkok. I highly recommend the ball (a fried burrata with marinara sauce), the bruschetta, the mashed potatoes, pumpkin soup, scallop, pasta, pizza, tiramisu and chocolate cake! Honestly, everything on the menu is special and you can't go wrong with any choice. Surprisingly, this is the best authentic Italian food outside of Italy.

A must if you’re in Vientiane looking for truly good Italian cuisine, excellent for a last diner before you leave wonderful Laos. The owner, Pino, is a lovely person with tons of knowledge and stories on SE Asia.

This is the best restaurant in Vientiane. Great staff and atmosphere. The owner is very involved and makes sure it’s a great experience for everyone.
