Fellini - Italian restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

as a tomato lover im obsessed w the roasted cherry tomatoes. been craving for some good lemon pasta and they did not disappoint! gamberi aglio olio was okay. overall a cozy place for some italian dishes

My wife and I had a lovely dinner here on Valentines Day. Nick and Sven are great hosts and the food is fantastic. And a very well selected short list of wines. Thank you!

A small, cozy, and lovely Italian restaurant, very authentic. It has only been open for a short time. The service is excellent, and the food is delicious. Portions are generous, and you can really tell the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into each dish. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. It’s a great choice for a special occasion, everyday dining, or even a meal with friends. Prices are very reasonable, and the service is also excellent. It’s advisable to make a reservation, as the place is quite small, even though it has two floors and probably around ten tables in total.

I’ve come to Fellini twice and it always surprises me the quality of it’s ingredients and the warm of their host. It is by far one of the best Italian restaurants in the city, it looks and feels like a small osteria in a small town in la capagna romana. Their owners, while not Italian, carry out the tradition impeccably, with every dish full of international ingredients and the care of a mamma or Nona If you want the cozy and private environment to celebrate an important meal, this is the place to go in Thao Dien

Fellini is run by a few young Swiss entrepreneurs, and it’s exactly the spot you need if you’re a bit tired of the sweeter side of Vietnamese food and craving something creamy, salty, fresh, and simple – proper Italian done right. The space is refined but not overly fancy, and the hospitality really shines through. The menu is strong without being overly complex or large, which I always appreciate. I went with the chef-recommended burrata on toasted tomatoes to start – outstanding – and then had the carbonara, made traditionally with their own imported guanciale. It completely satisfied the craving I’ve had for authentic carbonara. Only two reds by the glass, but the Montepulciano house wine was delicious, and I was seriously impressed by the bottle selection overall – not huge, but with some real shining stars like the Tommasi Valpolicella from Verona. Ended up chatting with Nick, one of the owners, at the bar – great guy, wonderful conversation. What makes it even better is that you can pair a meal here with a visit to Piccolo, the excellent cocktail bar right next door, either before or after. Looking forward to coming back soon. Highly recommend locals add Fellini to their regular rotation and tourists make it their go-to for satisfying Italian cravings in HCMC. Small spot, but seriously strong.
