This set of pictures have been laying around in my hard disk for half a year now and finally I have the time to dig them out, give them some touch up and published online. Since it has been so long ago after my visit, I have forgotten most of the names of the dishes that we ordered and probably just able to show some pictures. The pictures are not really up to standard as well due to the low ambient environment and the hunger that hasten my finger to simply compose and snap away. Nevertheless, hope I'm able to share something, and it will be a proper review.
Italiannies, an Italian restaurant that is quite common as we can spot it in many major shopping malls. They have 6 branches around Klang Valley, with Paradigm Mall as the latest one as I just checked their website. The restaurants has a very traditional Italian ambient and their waiters and waitress always make you feel at home. I have been to two branches, the first one was at the Subang Empire last year, and the recent one will be at The Curve. I will start off with the Subang Empire first then continue with The Curve at the second part.
I went to the Italiannies in Subang Empire during December last year. It was a Wednesday night and expected less crowd in the shopping mall and the restaurant as well. We took our time to read the menu and order what we wanted. As usual, we are served with some bread with a plate of oil and vinegar mixture to go along with it.
Some condiments are found on the table, such as olive oil (I suppose), vinegar, salt and pepper. I would say they are part of the decorations on the table because of the fancy glass bottle containing the olive oil.
I forgotten what we ordered for drinks, probably Cappuccino and Mango shake. I will just show the picture instead.
My girlfriend ordered Shrimp and Mushroom Linguine and according to her, the taste was just OK only for her. Just a pass, I suppose. Sorry for the different white balance for both pictures.
I myself ordered a pizza which I couldn't remember the flavour. Apparently they removed it from their latest menu because I can't seem to find it anymore. It was a typical thin crust pizza with toppings of chicken cubes, traditional tomato sauce, some capsicum and not forgetting the Mozzarella cheese.
Well, that's basically everything we ordered during that visit. I'm not an Italian food fan and do not really know how an authentic Italian food will taste like. So I will just give my opinion, based on my thoughts of the food. My second visit is with my family at the Curve. This time, we ordered a lot more than my previous dine in in Italiannies.
As usual, we were served with bread and a plate of oil-vinegar mixture like what I had in Subang Empire.
As for drinks, we ordered ripe mango fruit shake, cafe latte, cafe mocha and ice latte.
For starter, we ordered a platter called Quattro platter, which is actually a combination of deep fried risotto balls, calamari, fried lemon cheesy balls and zucchini strings. It comes along with two types of sauces, which is the typical tomato sauce and another one is cheese sauce I believe. The fried lemon cheesy balls gives you a mouthful of cheesy sensation and will not be suitable for those who are not fancy with the smell of cheese. Calamari is good and fresh, while the risotto balls is a good try as well. However, the zucchini strings and onions are not really my type, probably will have their own fans, but not me.
We ordered a Chicken Lasagna as well since we never tried it in an Italian restaurant before. It tasted very good with a very strong taste of cheese in it.
Not forgetting to accompany the dinner with traditional Italian pizza. We ordered the Tropicale flavour since we liked pineapple within our pizza.
Last but not least, a house specialty of Sizzling Roasted Chicken, which is served in a pan with a generous amount of vegetable in it like potato and onions. This is something very special as we do not usually eat it else where except in Italian restaurants. The soup (or sauce) is nice with very rich taste, I guess wine was added into it but not too sure about that.
Overall, both dining experience in Italiannies was good and would come back if I have a sudden crave of something unique.
I do apologize for such an informal review, or I should say just mere sharing as I'm no expert in Italian food. I hope the pictures will compensate some text for me in conveying the message.
Do visit http://www.italiannies.com.my for an in depth recommendations on their menu.
