Indulge In Authentic Local Thai Food
On Karon Beach
When in Phuket, add Ciao Pizza & Grill to your list if you are craving authentic local and unique fusion Thai food right on the stunning Karon Beach. Our beachfront restaurant is designed in a way to give you the quintessential island dining experience, and our expansive menu boasts everything from traditional Thai cuisine, popular Asian favorites, classic Italian dishes and other international favorites.
A Menu That Tells a Story
At Ciao, our menu is thoughtfully curated – we combine fresh local ingredients with time-honored recipes for meals that linger in your mind and heart. Although we offer a wide selection of Italian favorites and grilled specialties, we also feature a carefully curated collection of Thai and Asian-inspired dishes that are a must-try for anyone visiting Phuket.
Try our unique combos, such as our delectable wagyu with garlic fried rice and a bouncy onsen egg that ties it all together. Or, if you want to explore an elevated version of a kaprow, go for our dry-aged beef kra pow gank moo – the dry-aged beef and fried crispy duck egg pair beautifully, and the Thai-style pork cracklings on top add extra texture in one bite so it feels like a party in your mouth.
Moo Hong – A Must-Try Local Dish In Phuket
Aside from typical Southern Thai curries available in Phuket that you might already be familiar with, have you heard of Moo Hong? Moo Hong is a traditional slow-braised pork belly dish, where the pork belly is cooked to absolute perfection in a rich and silky blend of soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, and aromatic spices.
Phuket’s cuisine is widely influenced by a mix of Thai, Chinese, Malay, and Peranakan (Baba-Nyonya) cultures, and this dish is no exception. Originally influenced by Hokkien Chinese settlers in Phuket, Moo Hong is a local favorite, and we highly recommend foodies try it if they want a taste of Phuket’s culinary heritage. The melt-in-your-mouth texture and deeply rich and savory flavors will undoubtedly make you want to go for second helpings!
Pad Thai – The Classic Thai Favorite
Your holiday to the Land Of Smiles is incomplete if you haven’t tried Thailand’s mascot dish – the iconic Pad Thai. When in Phuket or around Karon Beach, you will find many Pad Thai shops and street vendors selling this delicious noodle dish. And at Ciao, this iconic dish is prepared with the perfect balance of flavors. Stir-fried rice noodles are tossed in a tangy tamarind sauce and served with your choice of shrimp or chicken, garnished with crushed peanuts and a squeeze of fresh lime. You could be a long-time admirer of Thai cuisine or trying it for the first time, Ciao’s Pad Thai is a must-order if you want to try authentic local Thai food on Karon Beach.
An Authentic Italian Feast Awaits
When you need a break from Thai food, our authentic Italian menu has you covered. Packed with crowd favorites such as wood-fired pizzas with crispy, golden crusts, fresh handmade pasta, and classic dishes bursting with rich flavors, every bite brings a taste of Italy right to your plate. Pair it with a glass of wine, and you’ve got yourself a meal to remember!
Tender, Juicy Steaks Grilled To Perfection
