Da Maurizio Bar Ristorante
The most romantic dining experience on Phuket Island, Da Maurizio Bar Ristorante offers the finest in contemporary Italian cuisine in an exquisite seaside location. Rare is the opportunity to enjoy fine dining while seated only a few feet from the ocean. Da Maurizio has always distinguished itself from other Italian restaurants on Phuket. With each new innovation, this exceptional Italian restaurant continues to live up to its award winning reputation as a notch above the rest.
Upon arrival at Da Maurizio, one descends a grand sandstone staircase flanked by tropical gardens and waterfalls. Palm trees frame the clear blue waters of the Andaman sea and the setting of the sun on the western horizon. A fresh sea breeze and the sound of gentle waves against the rocks of the shore accompany the aromas of Chef Aaron Hooper’s outstanding menu, an exciting twist on Da Maurizio’s classic Italian recipes. The unique culinary options include succulent salads, hand made pastas, live seafood, grilled specialties, delightful homemade desserts and much more.
Da Maurizio Bar Ristorante is a recipient of the Wine Spectator ‘Award of Excellence’ for 2003 and 2004 and also offers a fine selection of aperitifs, cocktails or an after dinner drinks.
Delicious food, an exceptional view of Kalim Bay, enjoyable soft music, the serenade of the surf, and the aromas of contemporary Italian fine cuisine make Da Maurizio Bar Ristorante an essential element of any visit to Phuket.

"We visited Da Maurizio's 5 years ago and were pleased to find it still there. The new menu was fantastic, really modern Italian. The staff were great and the view sensational. We would highly recommend it."
"Having previously dined here and having a wonderful experience, we were VERY dissapointed with the food and service. The staff had no idea how to treat guests. We were either stood over or completely ignored and many times had to pour our own wine. When I advised that the Garganelli was undercooked, we were told that the chef would be advised. I was not offered another dish, nor was it taken off.." more reviews

We visited Da Maurizio's 5 years ago and were pleased to find it still there. The new menu was fantastic, really modern Italian. The staff were great and the view sensational. We would highly recommend it. (Janice & Tom - See my reviews (2) - August, 2008) Overall 4.5 - Food 4, Ambience 8, Value 4, Service 2
Having previously dined here and having a wonderful experience, we were VERY dissapointed with the food and service. The staff had no idea how to treat guests. We were either stood over or completely ignored and many times had to pour our own wine. When I advised that the Garganelli was undercooked, we were told that the chef would be advised. I was not offered another dish, nor was it taken off the bill. The serving sizes are very small for the money paid. Overall 10 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 10, Service 10
The best meal we have ever had. Great Australian Chef Cameron who really makes sure that you enjoy the meal. We would highly recommend this to anyone. The food is not traditional Italian, so expect something different and very special. (Rob - May, 2007) Overall 9.5 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 9, Service 9
This was the best restaurant we have ever been to. The food the location...sensational (John & Leanne - April, 2007) |
