La Casa Nostra

About La Casa Nostra

La Casa Nostra is an Italian restaurant and wine bar in a converted house at 22 Soi Sathorn 1 Yaek 2 (Soi Goethe), about 300m from MRT Lumphini. The address is tucked away off the main road. Reviewers describe an outdoor terrace plus intimate indoor rooms with candlelight and careful attention to glassware and table settings. The restaurant is co-owned with importer The Wine Merchant, and its wine cellar is next door.

The cooking leans Sicilian and rustic but polished. Chef Nino Scognamillo leads the kitchen. BK Magazine lists roasted octopus with potato velouté at ฿490, tuna tartare at ฿390, ricotta and spinach gnocchi at ฿580 and lamb chops at ฿890. The wine list is the big draw: more than 30 wines by the glass and modest bottle markups. Wongnai places it at over ฿1,000 per person.

This works well for a candlelit dinner date, especially if one of you enjoys wine, since you can try several glasses without ordering a whole bottle. The quiet soi feels removed from Sathorn traffic. The terrace is nicest on cooler evenings. Tripadvisor diners note that portions can be small for the price, so plan on sharing a few plates.

Why it works for a date

• Excellent wine list with fair markups and many by-the-glass options
• Romantic candlelit room and garden terrace
• Polished, rustic Sicilian-style dishes
• Attentive, easygoing service

Good to be aware of

• Small portions for the price, per some diners
• Execution can be uneven across courses
• Water and drinks add up
