AMBIENCE

A picture-perfect Italian restaurant in Phuket that practically begs for an Instagram snap. VERO blends rustic Italian charm with a modern edge, set against one of the most breathtaking backdrops on the island.

Perched above Naithon Beach, the outdoor terrace offers uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea—best enjoyed with a spritz in hand as the sun dips into the horizon. Inside, the dining room delivers a warm and welcoming contrast. Brushed wooden floors, ambient lighting, and rich textures set the tone for a cosy, relaxed atmosphere inspired by the traditional Italian trattoria.

The open kitchen brings the space to life, with the pizza oven at its heart and chefs tossing dough in full view. It’s theatre, comfort, and flavour all rolled into one. The open bar counter nearby adds a social buzz, perfect for pre-dinner drinks or lingering conversation.

Most seating is indoors, offering comfort and connection with the sea still visible through wide glass panels. Step outside and you’ll find one of the most photographed corners of the restaurant—a colourful Vespa parked by the entrance, always ready for its close-up.

Whether you dine under the stars or by the kitchen glow, VERO is about more than just food. It’s about mood, place, and the kind of moments that linger long after the last bite. Blending the natural beauty of Phuket with the heart of Italian dining, VERO is where flavour meets feeling in the most spectacular setting.

Tagliolini all’Aragosta
A handcrafted pasta that captures the soul of coastal Italy with a Phuket twist. Served with Andaman rock lobster, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil, this dish is light, luxurious, and layered with flavour. It’s the kind of plate you’ll think about long after dinner ends.
