We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day afternoon at Baieta! Despite not having a reservation, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, managing to set a table for us. The food was fresh and offered great value—the charcuterie and seafood dishes were standouts. They have a lovely selection of pairing drinks, and watching the sunset over the river was the perfect finishing touch ♥️


BAIETA Restaurant Saigon Thao Dien - Restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City
About This Place
BAIETA sits on Nguyễn Văn Hưởng with an unobstructed line of sight to Landmark 81 across the Saigon River — a setting that draws a reliably international crowd looking for something between a casual European bistro and a full dinner service. The terrace catches the afternoon light and holds the river breeze well into the evening, making the hour before sunset the peak window for a table.
The menu anchors on wood-fired pizza, and the range is broader than most Thao Dien competitors: eleven variations run from a classic Margherita to the house signature, Pizza La Baieta, which layers truffle mushroom ham and burrata over arugula. The panuozzo — a sandwich pressed from the same pizza dough and finished in a wood-fired oven — is a less obvious order, particularly the prosciutto and Merguez versions. Beyond pizza, the kitchen produces raw seafood plates (salmon carpaccio, tuna tataki, salmon tartare), cold-cut charcuterie boards, and a French snails preparation in garlic butter that several reviewers single out by name.
The bar runs a proper happy hour alongside a wine list that reviewers describe as fairly priced for the riverside address. Service has been noted as attentive even under improvised circumstances — a party that arrived without a reservation on Valentine's Day evening was seated without friction.
Two caveats worth knowing: portions lean smaller than the price point implies, particularly on pasta dishes, and the pizza crust sits on the softer side, which may disappoint those expecting a cracker-thin Neapolitan finish. For the Thao Dien stretch, few spots combine a credible European menu, a functioning cocktail bar, and an unobstructed river view in the same footprint. Closed Mondays; kitchen runs until midnight the rest of the week.

Great location. Amazing view & atmosphere from the riverside. Food is good. I would recommend one of the restaurant’s signatures. Serve is quick too. A bit pricey but worth it.
We randomly came last Tuesday for a diner with my family. And what a surprise!!! We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The music was great!!! And today we came back !! I think, this place will be our favourite place for the week end!! Fred/Zoe/Ema/Juliette
What a hidden gem, I felt like I was in California for a moment. Haven't been back to home, and being able to feel the same energy, get to look at the beautiful Saigon River is definitely a plus. The food was surprisingly great. Pizza however was not crunchy enough to my taste but everything else was wonderful. Still highly recommended but I wouldn't order the pizza
I really like Baieta for its slightly Mediterranean atmosphere, which immediately gives off a holiday vibe. The view over the river and the Landmark adds to that feeling, making it a great place to relax and unwind. The dishes are flavorful and well executed, even though the portions are often on the smaller side (thinking of the pesto gnocchis)
