Today With You (Pasta & Pizza Restaurant) - Italian restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

Today With You occupies a compact space on Thao Dien's main strip, and the first thing visitors notice is its Korean-influenced interior — deliberate, considered, a design language that doesn't announce itself as Italian until the food arrives. That contrast is part of the draw, and it's earned a 4.9 rating across more than four thousand Google reviews, which is an unusual signal even by the neighborhood's competitive standards.

The kitchen's reputation is built on sauces. Creamy preparations dominate the feedback: a seafood risotto that arrives rich without tipping into heaviness, a pesto shrimp pasta that draws repeat mentions from regulars, a beef ragu with a depth that holds up over the full portion. Bruschettas — particularly the caprese — function as a confident opening act, with mozzarella quality that reviewers single out specifically. The pesto, described as nutty rather than sharp, reads as house-made.

The 300,000 VND lunch set is where the kitchen extends its value proposition: pasta or risotto, panna cotta, detox water, pickles, and fruit salad. It runs during the 11AM–3PM service daily and works as a complete meal for one or a shareable spread for two with an added starter. Portions throughout the menu are noted as generous.

Seating is limited, which defines who the room works for. Large groups don't sit comfortably here — the space suits couples and parties of two or three who can take their time without managing logistics. Service has a reputation for attentiveness that extends beyond the table: delivery drivers waiting for orders are offered water, a detail that appears in multiple reviews as a marker of the kitchen's general character.

Drink options include kombucha, fresh juices, and coconut — a short list that fits the unhurried pace the restaurant sustains across both its lunch and dinner services.
