Genuinely confused as to how this place has a 4.8 rating? I don't know what the standard of Thai food in Italy is, but this was objectively not good food. Didn't taste anything like true Thai food, was oily, and flavourless. Stir-fry portion was very small (Pad Thai portion was reasonable).

Authentic Thai Food. Located in a market area. Don’t get confused by many closed stores in this area. They are open as shown and the food tastes authentic. Absolutely fair price. If you are longing for some thai food, this is a place you should visit.

Good Thai food inside the Mercato (market)! Overall food tastes really good, of course for Italian standard. I especially love the mango sticky rice, the mangoes were sweet and the sticky rice was superb.

I had Pad Thai, but I think the rice menus are better. Waiters are fast and attentive.

Since we tried this Thai restaurant, it has become our go-to spot for Thai food, even though it’s a bit far from our place.

The flavors are very authentic, and the prices are affordable. They use fresh ingredients, and they can adjust the spice level if you’re not a fan of spicy food.

The staff is lovely and welcoming.

A wonderful tiny place inside the Irnerio Market, delicious Thai dishes served by a super friendly staff. Lots of options available, including meat, fish and vegan. Spiciness level asked while taking the order. Their "Pad Thai Kung" is absolutely tasteful.
Totally recommended if you're searching for an exotic lunch at an affordable price.
