Where Bangkok Comes to Eat
The Story of the Bangkok Restaurant Group Behind Four Beloved Concepts

Lova Hospitality Group started with a simple belief
Bangkok deserves restaurants that take every detail seriously. Not only the food on the plate, but the room it is served in, the music overhead, and the way a guest feels the moment they walk through the door. We build and run restaurants across Bangkok, not franchises or licensing deals. We do everything ourselves, from recipe development and kitchen build-outs to hiring, training, and the way the napkins are folded. Every brand in our portfolio exists because we believed it was missing from Bangkok’s dining scene. LAVA Fire Grill, Bianca, Holy Belly, and Bambino. Four brands, each one built from the ground up.
Founded by Lucas Molina, Lova isn’t trying to be the biggest restaurant group in the city. We’d rather have four places people genuinely love than forty places people forget by the time they get home. That means we’re in the kitchens, we’re tasting the sauces, we’re checking that the grill is running at the right temperature. Each restaurant has its own personality but is held to the same uncompromising standard, and our regulars can tell.
How We Got Here
Lova Hospitality Group started when a group of F&B professionals decided Bangkok needed something different. Not another hotel restaurant. Not another franchise import. Something built by people who actually cook, eat, and live in this city.
LAVA Fire Grill came first. A charcoal-driven steakhouse in Thonglor built around Kokoyaki grilling and premium beef. Bianca followed with real Italian cooking at Emsphere and One Bangkok. Holy Belly opened for all-day grills and handmade pasta. And Bambino brought the same standards to a family-friendly format at The Mall Ngamwongwan. Four brands, each one grown from the same instinct: find what’s missing, and build it properly.
