Fellini - Italian restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City
About This Place
Fellini sits at 26B Thảo Điền, on the stretch of road that anchors the neighbourhood's dining scene. The name references Federico Fellini, the Italian filmmaker — a small signal about the sensibility behind the place. With a 4.7-star average across 68 Google reviews, it ranks among the more consistently rated Italian options in the district, suggesting regulars who return rather than one-time visitors leaving inflated scores.
Thao Dien has no shortage of Italian restaurants competing for the expat and long-term resident crowd, and the daily 11 AM–10:30 PM schedule makes Fellini one of the few that covers both a proper lunch sitting and a relaxed dinner without the compressed hours common to smaller neighbourhood spots. The address puts it within walking distance of the Thảo Điền residential blocks rather than buried in the An Phú cluster, which tends to draw a more local neighbourhood feel than the tourist-facing dining strips closer to the river.
Without a scraped menu on file, specific dishes cannot be detailed here — but the Italian focus and rating trajectory suggest a kitchen keeping reasonable standards across the board. For anyone scouting Italian options in District 2, the review volume and score warrant a visit over the lower-rated alternatives on the same street.

Great food generous proportions One serving of Bruschetta al Pomodoro is big enough for 3 with very fresh ingredients.The Spaghetti Frutti di Mare Piccata Milanese are recommended and the Tiramisu is a must
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
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!
