Named after a small town in northern Italy, Pendolasco Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City perfectly combines the comfort of casual sophistication with the delicious flavors of Italy. A large restaurant, ornamented with contrasting soft white and muted red linens, boasts a tranquil green garden and a separate terrace large enough to support event or business gatherings. But the food is what keeps Pendolasco’s clientele returning time and again. Italian classics are abundant here, with a large assortment of pastas and risottos; try the fresh seafood risotto for a unique melt-in-your-mouth meal. The pizza, unrivaled according to many in the city, is wood-fired in a garden oven and smothered with a colorful array of toppings. All servings are plentiful and encourage the sharing, groupy atmosphere of this Italian eatery. Not for the weak-hearted, the gourmet menu combines classic Italian ingredients with award winning presentation and flavor. Start with a ‘proscuitto e melon’ plate or ricotta cheese parcels enfolded in bresaola dried beef. Move on to mains like a succulent rosemary pork fillet wrapped in bacon or the ravioli ‘aperti alla dalmata’-seafood encased in open-faced raviolis and drizzled in tomato sauce. Don’t miss the ‘gnocchi di zucca con polpa di granchio,’ which incomparably balances the flavors of pumpkin and crab meet perfectly. A wine-specialist on staff can help you choose the perfect wine to couple with your dish from the large assortment of Italian wines available. And enjoy an espresso while you peruse the dessert menu, a few notable sweets including: chocolate sprinkled tiramisu and cool, freshly made Italian gelato (made in house). With Wifi and a great location in the heart of downtown Ho Chi Minh City, Pendolasco is a great restaurant to enjoy after-work drinks and complimentary bread, or to bring the whole family to for an exceptional dining experience. Don’t feel like leaving home? Speedy delivery is also available from 11:00 - 22:00 in District 1 and 3 only.
