Pasta Paradise, run by the same folks as the well known Girasole and La Gondola, is a new Italian restaurant in the Punna Place complex, next to Power House Gym. The restaurant is decorated with a feminine touch, the menu contains classic Italian dishes such as antipasti, pizzas, pastas, soups and steaks, as well as some other Thai and international dishes… we even spotted a peanut butter sandwich in there. Most of the fresh ingredients used are sourced from organic local farms. Pasta Paradise makes their own cheeses, breads, pasta and ice-cream. After a meal with a nice bottle of wine, why not finish it all off with a sumptuous Vietnamese civet coffee, one of the world’s most expensive coffees, coveted for its selection of coffee beans by, and digestion through, a civet cat. Pasta Paradise is charging only 110 baht for this usually costly beverage.
