Peppe Italian Food & Wine
749/SK1, Sukhumvit 81 Bangkok 10260
Peppe delivers unpretentious Southern Italian cooking in a neighbourhood setting well removed from the tourist belt. The pasta menu lets you pick sauce style (tomato, cream, or oil) and shape (spaghetti, penne, fettuccine, or angel hair), building familiar combinations with above-average execution. A strong wine selection runs alongside the food at accessible prices. Come for lunch 11:30 to 14:30 or dinner from 17:30 to 22:00, and lead with one of the daily specials if the board is running.
You reach Peppe Italian Food and Wine on Sukhumvit Soi 81 in Suan Luang, a quieter stretch of the extended Sukhumvit corridor near On Nut BTS station, where the restaurant sits at 749/SK1, set back from the street and easy to miss behind a Seven-Eleven landmark.
The venue runs across two buildings with an open-air section connecting them. One building handles the pasta and Southern Italian kitchen; the other, called the Brasserie, is oriented around meat dishes and grills. The open courtyard between them makes the full space feel less formal than the food quality might suggest.
The restaurant is named after its owner, Peppe, an Italian whose hands-on presence in the kitchen has been noted by regulars since the original Sukhumvit 60 location opened. The move to Sukhumvit 81 in April 2024 brought a larger format while keeping the home-style approach that built the following.
The pasta menu structures choices around sauce style: tomato-based, cream-based, or oil-based preparations, each available with spaghetti, penne, fettuccine, or angel hair. The selection also covers pizzas, Italian sausage dishes, seafood options, and desserts including tiramisu and panna cotta. A dedicated wine list covers a range of Italian and international bottles suited to the food.
Service hours run lunch from 11:30 to 14:30 and dinner from 17:30 to 22:00. The dual-building layout means you can move from pasta to grilled meats across the outdoor courtyard in a single visit. Lead with an oil-based pasta and the Italian sausage preparation to cover the kitchen's Southern Italian roots, then let the wine list guide the rest of the evening. The address at 749/SK1 Sukhumvit 81 puts you near On Nut, well outside the busier inner Sukhumvit dining belt.
