Amano Local Eatery

Great pizzas and Italian dishes with a fusion twist. Dishes are not authentic Italian but don’t think it matters as the combination of flavors are excellent in its own right and is quite suitable for the local and Asian palate. They have many pizza options that blend local dishes with Italian flavors - a unique combination worth trying. The restaurant is located in an alleyway near Ben Thanh Market and is very easy to find. Would make a good stop before your exploration of the nearby areas.

We visited on Thursday night and decided to check out the Gg reviews before trying it out. They have four tables downstairs, and upstairs, there’s a long bar table that’s only open when needed. The food was pretty good; the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the braised pork shoulder could have been cooked a bit longer for extra tenderness. The pizza was okay, not particularly flavorful. The salad with quilted lettuce was fine, and I didn’t want to make a fuss about it. What really bothered me was the lingering kitchen smell on my shirt when we left. The place has small, low ceilings and an open kitchen with minimal exhaust (we couldn’t hear it) 🤷‍♀️

the food really nice too me, really tasty the spaghetti is amazing, but the salad 🥗 doesn’t go well, in the menu I ordered a whole burrata cheese but when they served just shredded cheese kinda disappointed. but anyway will come back again. highly recommended

The meatballs are absolutely phenomenal! Handmade pasta is cooked al dented and you can taste the noodle flavour. Music is too loud, but a lot of Vietnamese restaurants go for the techno music lol.

The best local pizzeria i HAVE HAD in my 1.5 year stay in saigon. Beats 4Ps in EVERY WAY. I dont even know how they do it. Their foods just taste good and this is coming from a woman who HATES western foods just so you know (still craves it occassionally) I've been to both locations they have and the one in le thánh tôn is bigger with more tables but to be honest, yall need a revamp. I mean the 2 stores are cute and cozy and i get the vibe but things seem a lil bit run down. Nevertheless it doesnt affect my experience one bit. I stay happy the both times i had my dinner in these set ups. Foods ? Like i said, OUT OF THE QUESTION. Try it, be happy, mark my words. Service ? Its not like the usual professional chain brand but its sufficed. Staff are cute altogether, laid back fun ensemble kinda vibe and that suits the place. I mean they were still very enthusiastic and helpful dont get me wrong. Overall i am satisfied and def will come back lmao foods so good i dont even bother to talk about the price but its very reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
