This was hands down one of the best dining experience we've ever had!
The Smokaccia has been recognized by the Michelin Guide for the past three years. Everything we ate was so unique and like nothing we’ve experienced before. Chef Luca lives and breathes his restaurant and is truly a culinary genius. You can feel all the thought and love that he puts into every dish.
I highly recommend sitting at the bar so you can see all the action of the kitchen up close and speak with the chef and other kitchen aids.
This is such a special restaurant and a must visit when in Phuket!
These are genuine reviews

This was the best meal I’ve ever had and I’ve been to a handful of Michelin restaurants in America and Japan.
You’ll be transported from the busy Phuket streets to a quiet nook of Italy. The welcome drinks and 1st bite will set the tone of the magical 3 hour experience! We had the Premium wine pairing and it was intimate to socialize with the sommelier. It was fun to see smoke incorporated into the drinks as well as “no waste” food concept. We celebrated our engagement yesterday evening and it was an unforgettable night. Grazie!

One word - Astounding! Chef Luca and his team have curated a truely remarkable experience with this dining menu.
The staff are wonderful and attentive. I would highly recommend the kitchen counter seats as this took the experience from a 10/10 to a 20/10 for us! Tasting each dish was like getting a glimpse into the creative mind of a brilliant chef and getting to chat with Chef Luca during the service made the whole night even better. His passion for the menu he created was exhilarating to witness. We had both the regular menu and the vegetarian menu, and let me tell you, they are both fantastic and very similar.
This place is a MUST VISIT when coming to Phuket!
Easily the best dining experience of our lives. Thanks team! 🙌🏻

From the very moment we stepped foot into the restaurant, our dining experience unfolded with amazing attentiveness. We were graciously welcomed and seated in the foyer/lounge, where we were offered a starting drink and appetizer—a great taster to the culinary journey we were about to experience.
As we entered the main dining area, we were personally greeted by Luca, the chef himself, who took the time to present and serve the opening course. This thoughtful gesture set the tone for an evening defined by intimacy, artistry, and meticulous hospitality.
Each subsequent course of the 18-course tasting menu was introduced by various members of the team. Their warmth, professionalism, and in depth knowledge of the dishes elevated the experience.
Every plate that arrived at our table was a masterclass in culinary precision and creativity. It was clear that a lot of thought and craftsmanship had gone into each dish. We particularly enjoyed his take on the garden salad, lobster, wagyu and burrata.
The vibe of the space was also very serene and inviting, with calm classical music playing in the background. Even the restroom facilities were very nice; well stocked with amenities such as perfume, hand lotion, female products to name a few, a true reflection of the level of attention to detail.
Our evening concluded with a delightful conversation with Chef Luca as we ate the petit fours and sipped on his Limoncello—a fitting end to an extraordinary and deeply personalized dining experience.

An unforgettable dining experience at The Smokaccia Laboratory. Chef Luca creates an innovative 18-course tasting menu with no boundaries—blending molecular gastronomy, creativity, and storytelling. From the signature Smokaccia bread, proofed for 50 hours, to playful dishes like “One Chicken, Two Eggs”, where nothing is as it seems, every course was a surprise and delight. Highlights included the melt-in-your-mouth “Wagyu in the Andaman” and the stunning “Impossible Pistachio” dessert with four textures of Bronte pistachio. The experience is interactive, immersive, and filled with personal touches from Chef Luca, Brigitta, and the wonderful Massimo. A truly world-class culinary journey in Phuket.

Chef Luca and his team really outdid themselves. What a special, memorable experience I had. It wasn't just about the attention to detail in how he altered the food to be mysterious and spectacular, but the exquisite service received. It was approachable, professional and cutting edge. The team is personable and it felt so special to particle in their culinary journey- it felt like being apart of the family.
I had to pace myself with the courses, but didn't feel rushed. Definitely go hungry and take your time through the journey. I will continue to tell the memories of this night for a long long time. Well done, chef and team!
