Start with the pizza. The 29th-place Asia-Pacific ranking is the rare credential that a Bangkok Italian room can lean on without overstatement, and the dough is built to that benchmark. Pair it with the wine list rather than cocktails. If you want the full Abruzzo arc, order pasta first and pizza second across two visits, not in one sitting.

The address reads 4 Sukhumvit Soi 36, Sub-soi 2, in the Khlong Tan section of Khlong Toei. From Thong Lo BTS the walk is three to five minutes down Soi 36 to the sub-soi branch on your right, then a short distance further to the building entrance.

The site holds two concepts under one roof. L'OLIVA Ristorante Italiano & Wine Bar runs 11 AM to 10 PM on the main floor, with Caffe Olives operating 8:30 AM to 5 PM as the daytime cafe side of the same property. The building wraps to a rooftop bar, with indoor and outdoor seating across both levels.

Chef Gabriele Tozzo Luna leads the kitchen and the food anchors on his hometown of Abruzzo, the central Adriatic region whose cooking sits between mountain and coast: pasta-and-pizza staples alongside seafood plates done in a homemade rather than haute register. The kitchen lists itself as rooted in traditional Italian technique with contemporary touches.

In May 2023 the pizza program landed at the 29th position on the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific 2023 list, announced in Tokyo. That is the credential to lead with at the table: order the pizza first if it is your first visit, and use the wine list rather than the cocktail menu, which is built around the wine bar identity.

Reservations work cleanly by phone on +66 94 858 9868, and the rooftop is the seat to ask for on a cool-season evening.
