La Taverna del Salbanèl · Italian Northern Tavern

La Taverna del Salbanèl is a small tavern in Bangkok that serves northern Italian food, wine, and Italian beer. The kitchen turns out pasta, lasagna, and northern dishes built on cheese and ham, with corn purée instead of mashed potatoes alongside main courses. Before ordering, the Italian owner explains each dish on the menu, and the specials include tiramisu and gnocchi that are hard to find elsewhere. There are only 10 tables, so a phone reservation is required before visiting.
