Apero
Unpretentious Italian cooking from an open kitchen, with pasta at the centre.
The Restaurant
Apero opened in 2022 and has kept its ambitions modest: unpretentious Italian food cooked in an open kitchen, with pasta as the highlight. The Michelin Guide singles out the carbonara and the house-made tiramisu.
It is a useful reminder that Ho Chi Minh City’s Michelin-listed tables are not all Vietnamese; a neighbourhood Italian can earn a place on the strength of plain execution.
Good to Know
Apero is listed in the Selected category of the MICHELIN Guide Vietnam 2026. See the Ho Chi Minh City page for other options in the city.
