Though the best part of dining with Prego is savoring the authentic taste of Italian food for a very reasonable price. Often the restaurants in Samui are overpriced, but Prego focuses on Italian favorites as well as affordability for all guests.

Dr. Frogs
[place name=”Dr Frogs, 84320, Thailand”]
Dr. Frogs has risen among one of the most exclusive Italian restaurants of Samui for all the right motives.
Lunch is an unhurried event surrounded by a vivid picturesque seascape to perfectly compliment any meal. But our favorite is their all-day menu that features dishes that are really tempting, delightful, and new!
But where Dr. Frogs truly shines is with their outstanding pizzas by recreating pizza on a whole with their fresh ingredients and original recipes.
The truth is, their pizzas are undoubtedly incredible! Some of the must-try dishes we would recommend, would be the marvellous Pizza Tartufata with fresh mozzarella, truffle oil, plum tomato sauce and smoked pancetta.
Or their White Pizza with Phuket Lobster, onions, sun dried rucola salad and tomatoes. Bite into one of these heavenly cuisines and it just might leave speechless. (Contact 077 448 505, 093 620 1517)
