Best Italian restaurant?
Italian Rest
I agree that the one across from the Hilton is quite good. I have eaten there at least once during the four or five times I have been to HH. Never been disapointed

We are coming to live in Thailand for the culture, the beautifull people, the way of life, the food, the climate, if I wanted to visit an Italian restaurant, I would probablty want to live in, Wigan, Warrington, Widnes or Wolverhampton, but no we are longing for the day when we will be resident in lovely Hua Hin.

I now realise that the Italian restaurant was 'La Grappa' - oh dear!

I'm going to take a wild guess that you have never lived outside the UK for any period of time. Well let me assure you that after you have stuffed your face with Thai (or Malaysian, Chinese, Korean or whatever - depending on which country you live in) food for 6 weeks, you will be ready for a change. Will you be eating Thai food for breakfast or is ceral/toast ok?We are coming to live in Thailand for the culture, the beautifull people, the way of life, the food, the climate, if I wanted to visit an Italian restaurant, I would probablty want to live in, Wigan, Warrington, Widnes or Wolverhampton, but no we are longing for the day when we will be resident in lovely Hua Hin.
I'm also gonna take a guess that you will be making a few sacrifices with regard to "way of life".
Not trying to get at you mate, just need to inject a bit of realism into this.

I tried kootayo nam (noodle soup, forgive the spelling) for breakfast for 5 years here. Tasted great, but I lost a lot of weight. My wife now cooks me a "proper" breakfast and likes it herself. I do reciprocate sometimes!!
The great thing about HH is that it's not the sleepy fishing village that I discovered in 1989 and came to live in 8 years ago. Pluses and minuses, as has been debated before.
It's moved on and as a holiday resort will cater for most tastes.
That's the beauty. I can have my cake and eat it every way I choose.
You guys are totally correct, Thai food is great, but so is Indian food, English food, Danish food - whatever its all great if done by a good cook! To say as a Westerner that you will only eat Thai food is not really realistic. You will have the chance to sample all sorts of great food here from all over the world so take the opportunity and enjoy getting fat!
I have to agree with Seasider and Lomuamart, I to like to have something different other than the local food at times.
The one thing that I did miss when in HH last year, was a good Sandwich Shop. I love Thai food but at times you need to eat some decent bread with a decent filling (do not count subways in that statement).
I stayed in the Sofitel for a week last year and they did the best rare roast beef sandwich with horseradish and all the trimmings (was only about 250/300baht) on the room service menu, and was also served to you at the poolside.
There are just times when you need to eat something other than the local food. We had a couple of good italian meals at the cafes that are in the same street as the Hilton, and had the best Indian meal I have had in years at Maharaja,s (at the end of the same street and turn right), but other than that, ate local food most of the time.
I think that all in all in HH and the surrounding areas, you have some great cafes and resteraunts, and it is good to try them all. We will all have differeing views on what one we like and what ones we will never go back to. It is all down to individuals tastes and the standard of the staff that are working on the night that you go.
Bon Appetite

Yup - the issue of breakfast has always fascinated me. I like to think I have fairly catholic tastes when it comes to food but often draw the line at local breakfasts.I tried kootayo nam (noodle soup, forgive the spelling) for breakfast for 5 years here. Tasted great, but I lost a lot of weight. My wife now cooks me a "proper" breakfast and likes it herself. I do reciprocate sometimes!!
I guess it is usually because I am often not feeling at my strongest at breakfast time
