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

Tucked down a quiet lane in Thảo Điền, Fellini offers warm cozy Italian vibes. The highlight was the rich, creamy carbonara pasta, Friendly service and genuine comfort make this little spot a gem. Highly recommended for an authentic Italian cuisine in the neighborhood. Cannot wait to eat then

So far the most authentic Italian pasta we have tried in Ho Chi Minh. Every was done simply bt deliciously. Highly recommended the carbonara. They use guancile which is very tasty and authentic. The ambience is warm and cosy. Price is on the high side but you pay for higher quality. Will come back to try the other dishes.

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

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.

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.
