Going Italian


For the longest time my favorite restaurant has been Tony Roma’s and it still is but I’ve rediscovered a new place that I have not been going to for a while. It’s called Italiannise. I remember going to the branch in 1 Utama and enjoying the experience. Not only were the food portions hearty but the music was excellent. Hey listening to Sinatra croon while eating Italian food has that effect.

Well last week we had lunch at the branch in the Garden’s. We were pleasantly surprised as they now had a kids menu. To top it off, they also had a new two course menu. Now it was a little difficult to choose from the menu because everything looked and sounded so good. While we scrutinized the menu the waiter brought some Tuscan and Herb bread slices and served them with Olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The Tuscan bread was simply excellent!!

We ordered next and the little one decided on a Pizza Margarita, which turned out to be pretty good. Wifey had the Minestrone Soup and Shrimp Linguini. The soup was rich and flavorful and the linguini was more than enough to feed a small army of hungry wolves. I was surprised at the amount but it was tasty and full of fresh shrimp. I myself had the Pizza Caprese and Pepperoni and Meatball Calzone. I enjoyed the pizza more than the Calzone but it was still pretty decent. We couldn’t finish and had to pack half the linguini. We couldn’t even finish it for out lunch the next day!!

Again it was not only the food that was good but the ambiance. The restaurant was cavernous and overlooked the Klang river…not the prettiest sight but still with Sinatra music playing I told wifey that we’d be there a lot more especially at Christmas as it had that soothing feeling.

Yesterday, we went again, this time with my nephew in tow. My little girl wanted the pizza again although we wanted her to try something else. My nephew had the spaghetti Bolognese, which was full of meat and truthfully, he wiped the plate clean with the bread. He said that the sauce was so good. By the way this is not a paid post or sponsored post. Wifey had the clam soup and grilled chicken with wedges and broccoli. She enjoyed the fresh clams on shell. Then the chicken came….it was a half a chicken but that was not all the way it was plated gave it a very homely look. Very appetizing. I had the minestrone soup and the Sausage Carbonara. The portion was huge again and it was simple yet very tasty to say the least. Wifey and me just had our respective leftovers for lunch again and it was still delicious.

I actually can’t wait to go again. This time I want try their bruscheta and grilled chicken Milanese or Risotto with asparagus and chicken or maybe the grilled beef skewer with rissoto…doesn’t the sound of it just make your mouth water….I know mine does…


Mamma Mia I canta waita goa againa!!

ish ish ish.. you make everything sounds so yummy GK.. i've not even there at all .. though now i'm tempted to dry.. clean the plate eh.. lol..

Adrian said...

Hi Buddy!! Yummy brushetta and mutton chops to you too! hehehe

Adrian said...

Extremely Delish...and yes fattening...but that's why have to eat in moderation and not scoff the whole lot at one go... basically it's like two full meals they serve...we plan to share but then again wifey and me have differing tastes too!! LOL

Adrian said...

Aiyah dude no need to strike the lottery to go lah...it's not major expensive. Infact they have meals that four to six people can share...its family friendly and caters to differing budgets. I'm tempted to try the spaghetti and huge meatballs...but if the single portion is enough for two I dread what the big portion will be like! hohoho

Adrian said...

LJ!! Betul betul Yummy...and my nephew really did wipe every drop of the sauce off the plate. I asked him if he wanted to try some of our food but he said no...he just wanted the sauce. I wish I had ordered the kids meal ho ho ho
