Unico 23 Italian Dining
20/2 Soi Sukhumvit 23, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
Unico 23 Italian Dining is the right address in the Sukhumvit corridor for a full Italian dinner built around proper housemade pasta. The tagliatelle with slow-cooked ragu is the dish to order as the centrepiece of the meal. The burrata opener is worth having before the pasta course arrives. Book for weekend evenings when the dining room fills from the surrounding Watthana neighbourhood.
Unico 23 Italian Dining operates in Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, serving contemporary Italian cooking with a focus on housemade pasta and wood-fired preparations. The pasta section covers a daily selection of shapes matched to seasonal sauces. Options run from slow-cooked ragu through to cacio e pepe prepared in the classic Roman proportion. Burrata arrives at room temperature with olive oil and grilled bread as the standard opener before the pasta course. Housemade tagliatelle comes in a portion sized to lead into a main course rather than fill the table on its own. A wood-fired protein section covers lamb chops alongside chicken thighs cooked to a temperature that keeps the interior moist while the surface carries a crust. Antipasto covers cured meats sliced to order alongside marinated vegetables and house-pickled items from the kitchen. The kitchen imports key Italian ingredients from established suppliers to maintain the pasta's flavour profile. The wine list draws from Italian producers across regions, covering a selection from Piedmontese reds to Sicilian whites organised by region. Tiramisu prepared in the kitchen each morning closes the meal with the correct balance of mascarpone and espresso-soaked biscuit.
Asok BTS and Sukhumvit MRT are both within walking distance of Khlong Toei Nuea via the standard Sukhumvit corridor routes. Grab vehicles navigate the area without difficulty from most central Bangkok locations. From Nana BTS, the walk along Sukhumvit covers the distance in under ten minutes. Reservations for weekend dinners are advisable as the dining room fills from the surrounding Watthana residential community.
