What it is: A prestigious yet quirky Italian restaurant in Old Town, serving modern Neapolitan pizzas alongside Italian classics and wine.
Why do we love it: Marni has a unique take on Neapolitan-style pizza – the cornicione is so airy and pillowy, it feels like biting into a cloud while the centre remains thin, soft and pliable. The truffle burrata prosciutto pizza (B480) bursts with intense aromatics and generous fresh truffle shavings. Besides pizza, the menu branches out into briny Cancale oysters, burratina and tomato salad that screams summer and the rich truffle pasta proves this kitchen's Italian credentials extend far beyond the wood-fired oven.
Time Out tip: This popular eatery fills faster than you can say ‘pizza margherita’. Book ahead, especially for weekends. If you can snag a terrace table, do it – there’s nothing quite like dining al fresco in Phuket while pretending you’re in a bustling Italian piazza.
