About

Osteria Sendi is a small, dinner-only Italian osteria off South Pattaya Road, in the Soi Buakhao / South Pattaya area. It has built a strong reputation for authentic, home-style cooking in an intimate, tastefully decorated room that feels more like a family trattoria in Italy than a Pattaya tourist restaurant. The kitchen imports much of what it needs from Italy and cooks it properly, which is exactly why regulars keep it near the top of their list.

What to order

Homemade pasta is the reason to come — ravioli with ragù and a classic carbonara lead the pack. Add the beef tenderloin (order it medium-rare), bruschetta to start, or the shrimp gnocchi, and finish with the tiramisu, which reviewers single out repeatedly.

Good to know

It’s a small room and opens only in the evenings, so book or arrive early — especially at weekends. Most people leave delighted, but a few reviews note the odd off dish or a slower night, which is the trade-off of a genuinely small, from-scratch kitchen. Confirm hours before setting out, as they change.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews

Full overview

Osteria Sendi is a small, dinner-only Italian osteria off South Pattaya Road that has quietly become one of the city's better bets for authentic, home-style Italian cooking. The room is intimate and tastefully done — closer in feel to a neighbourhood trattoria in Italy than a tourist restaurant — and the kitchen leans on ingredients imported from Italy to cook a menu of homemade pasta, meat mains and classic desserts. Regulars rave about the ravioli with ragù and the carbonara, the beef tenderloin cooked a proper medium-rare, and a tiramisu that gets singled out again and again; bruschetta and shrimp gnocchi are other favourites. Prices are affordable for the quality, which is a big part of why it's so well reviewed. It opens only in the evenings — roughly 4pm to 10:30pm, seven days a week — and because the space is small it can fill quickly, so booking or arriving early is sensible. Reviews are mostly very warm, though, as with any small kitchen, a handful of diners have had an off night with a specific dish or slower service. If you want a genuine Italian dinner in the Soi Buakhao / South Pattaya area without paying hotel-restaurant prices, Osteria Sendi is an easy recommendation.

Where is Osteria Sendi in Pattaya?

It's off South Pattaya Road (Pattaya Tai), on Soi Pattaya Tai 16 in the Soi Buakhao / South Pattaya area — an easy Grab or short walk from the Soi Buakhao and Second Road hotels. Use the map pin, as it sits on a side soi rather than a main road.

What are Osteria Sendi's opening hours?

It's a dinner-only restaurant, open roughly 4pm to 10:30pm every day. It doesn't do lunch, and hours can change, so confirm on its Facebook page before heading over.

What should I order at Osteria Sendi?

The homemade pasta is the highlight — ravioli with ragù and carbonara are regular favourites — along with the beef tenderloin, bruschetta and shrimp gnocchi. Save room for the tiramisu, which reviewers rave about.

Is Osteria Sendi expensive?

No — it's mid-range and widely praised as good value for authentic Italian, with most pasta dishes in the low-to-mid hundreds of baht and meat mains a bit more. You're paying for imported ingredients and proper cooking, not tourist mark-up.

Do I need to book a table at Osteria Sendi?

It's a small room and dinner-only, so it can fill up — booking or arriving early is recommended, especially at weekends and in high season (November–March).
