Restaurant

Fellow restaurateurs watch out! Rice Italian Restaurant in Koh Samui has just set the bar another notch higher. As it's both an exciting and laid-back restaurant - all in one. Oh, and the food is outstanding too.

Rice Italian Restaurant & Lounge officially opened in October 2005, after many months of meticulous preparation. Every detail has been considered here, with the aim of making it the place to go in Chaweng for an evening's wining, dining and fun! It's directly opposite Soi Green Mango, on Chaweng Beach Road in the heart of town, which fits the vibrant theme of this Italian restaurant perfectly.

The first thing you'll definitely notice is the 3-metre-wide pond which spans the entire 12-metre frontage of this restaurant and pizzeria. Cross the wooden bridge into the open ground floor and you're hit by an invisible wall. Well it's actually a curtain of cold air acting as a barrier for keeping the air-conditioning in and the hot air out.

And once inside you'll see that there is an atrium. From here you can look up inside this spacious Italian restaurant to the 70-seater second storey above. And you've got a choice of route if you want to go up there yourself. Either take the slower path - the staircase, or go the faster and more scenic way - by crystal elevator! Once you're up there, there's another visual aspect altogether. This time you're looking down onto the 70 ground-floor diners below, and beyond into the entrance and across the pond.

There's even a raised lounge area up here, complete with Balinese-style sofas where you can do the looking, in total comfort. And not only is there a glass ceiling, there's a crystal wall on the second storey too. And if you prefer dining al fresco, there's a terrace area that's kept cool by the overflowing air-conditioning.
