Why go, and how to do it well

Italian retail and Italian food under one roof, on a Bophut street where nearly everything else leans Thai. That's the pitch, and it's a decent one if you've been on the island a while and want parmesan, decent coffee or a plate of something familiar rather than another green curry. Mid-range prices, so you're not paying resort rates for the privilege of imported goods.

The Fisherman Village location does a lot of the work here. It's a walkable strip, and the doors don't open until half one in the afternoon, which suits a late lunch or a browse before dinner. Come Friday evening and the street market takes over, which is fun if you want the crowd and less fun if you want to shop in peace. Early afternoon is calmer. I'd treat it as a stop rather than a destination, something you fold into a wander along the beachfront road.
