PIZZERIA LIMONCELLO
17 Soi Sukhumvit 11, Klongtoey-Nua Watthana, Bangkok 10110
The Zanotti Group is the operator behind both this restaurant and the well-regarded Zanotti Il Ristorante Italiano, which means the sourcing and kitchen standards are shared across a serious hospitality group. Standout pizzas include the Montagna with bacon, mozzarella, and garlic, and the Zanotti loaded with parma ham and several cheeses. Tiramisu and calamari round out a menu that leans heavily Italian from start to finish.
You sit down at Pizzeria Limoncello and the room tells you everything upfront. Red-checked tablecloths, an open-to-restaurant wood-burning pizza oven visible from most seats, and a menu that has been built around one commitment since the place opened in 2007: thin-crust pizza made properly, in a real wood oven, with ingredients imported from Italy every single week. The restaurant operates under the Zanotti Group, the same Bangkok hospitality company that runs Zanotti Il Ristorante Italiano, Caffe Turin, and Vino di Zanotti across multiple locations including Bangkok and Khao Yai. The group connection matters because it explains the sourcing discipline. Ingredients do not sit in a warehouse for weeks. The weekly Italy import cycle is a stated part of the Limoncello operation, and it shows in the dough and the cheese. The pizza menu runs to more than 40 varieties of pizza and calzone. The Montagna arrives loaded with bacon, mozzarella, and garlic. The signature Zanotti pizza comes built around parma ham and multiple cheese varieties. The Popeye pairs ricotta with spinach in a combination that regular visitors return for. A Margherita starts at 190 THB, placing the entry point well within reach for a Sukhumvit Soi 11 address. Beyond pizza the kitchen covers pastas, salads, T-bone steak, calamari, and a tiramisu that appears on nearly every recommended-dish list for the restaurant. The room seats a family-dining crowd at lunch and shifts toward a more dinner-out atmosphere in the evening, which is consistent with the Zanotti Group's positioning of this venue as the casual counterpart to its flagship restaurant. The restaurant is at 17 Sukhumvit Soi 11, 264 metres from Nana BTS. Open daily for lunch and dinner. Worth ordering the Zanotti pizza and tiramisu on a first visit.
