About
Pattaya Mail’s profile describes a menu of more than 150 items and an adjoining snackery for coffee, homemade cakes and ice cream. Treat those details as the cited profile’s description and confirm the current menu directly. Confirm the current menu, hours and reservation arrangements directly before dining. Pan Pan is one of Pattaya’s oldest Italian restaurants, serving the town since the mid-1970s, and this is its central branch. It’s a comfortable, old-school trattoria built around a wood-fired pizza oven at the front and — the part regulars love most — an in-house bakery and gelateria.
What to order
Wood-fired pizzas, house-made pasta and risotto, and grilled meats are the core; the cakes, pastries and Italian gelato from the dessert counter are a destination in their own right. Pizzas start under 200 baht, mains around 250–350.

Good to know
The style is traditional trattoria, which some find a touch dated, and reviews are solid rather than uniformly glowing. But for a reliable, central, well-priced Italian with real pedigree and a standout dessert case, it’s an easy call.
Source and booking boundary
The official site and Facebook page support the current Pan Pan identity and branch context, while Pattaya Mail supplies the historical menu and bakery profile. Those sources do not establish today’s table availability, exact prices, branch-specific hours or reservation response time. Confirm the central branch directly before planning a fixed meal.
Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews
Full overview
Pan Pan is one of Pattaya's oldest and best-known Italian names, serving the town since the mid-1970s, and this is its central branch. The formula that made it a fixture is unchanged: wood-fired pizzas from a traditional oven at the front of the room, house-made pasta and risotto, grilled meats, and — the part regulars rave about — a proper in-house bakery and gelateria turning out cakes, pastries and Italian ice cream. It's a comfortable, slightly old-school trattoria rather than a trendy new opening, which is exactly why it has kept a loyal expat and repeat-visitor crowd for decades. Prices are fair for the quality and the history: pizzas start under 200 baht, pasta from around 190, and main courses land in the 250–350 baht range, so a two-course dinner with a drink stays firmly mid-range. The gelato and dessert counter is worth saving room for and is a destination in its own right for many locals. Reviews are broadly positive but not universal — some diners find individual dishes hit-or-miss and the style a touch dated — which is a fair reflection of a long-running kitchen that plays it straight rather than chasing trends. For a reliable, central, well-priced Italian with genuine pedigree and a standout dessert case, it's an easy recommendation. There are sister branches in Jomtien and at Central Festival if this one isn't convenient.
