Our Italian Lunch at Trattoria Cucina Italiana Kuala Lumpur


Last Sunday was the first time I went to this restaurant. Heard that the food was amazing. So, thought of trying out what's so amazing about it. I'm actually not much of an Italian food enthusiast compared to Japanese food. But B-bunz, he's one mafia bad-ass (LOL!) and he loves Italian food. Which is why, after reading some reviews on local food blogs and websites on this restaurant, I suggested to B-bunz if he would like to try. We went there for lunch.

Amazing. The road was super duper clear. LOL!

This restaurant is located at Jalan P. Ramlee, opposite Modesto's and Aloha, nearby The Beach Club. So you can imagine how this road is at night right? But amazingly, at 2pm it was empty. Quite deserted. We could actually lie down on the road for 5 minutes and no car will come hit us. LOL! If only it was like this every day.

We sat outside, in the smoking area because as you might guess, B-bunz smokes. We were first served complimentary slices of bread with olive oil and salsa sauce. I liked it, they tastes good. The waitress was very friendly and she seemed to know what we need although we were sitting outside the glass window. Why did I say that? Well, at one point B-bunz was complaining that there's a hole in his straw as he took a sip of his Strawberry juice (RM 16) and so I got up to walk in and ask for an extra straw when the waitress was already holding a straw and passed it to me halfway. As if she can read our lips. LOL!

I totally love my food. I  had the ravioli with stuffed spinach and salsa sauce or something - "Ravioli di ricotta espinaci in salsa" (RM 34). B-bunz had a beef pasta something-something - "Penne cacio e pepe" (RM 32). Mine was delicious and sweet. B-bunz was not feeling so good that day though, he had a stomach discomfort so he wasn't able to enjoy the food as much as I did. Pity my bad-ass mafia boy. 

This is mine. Mine. All mine!!

B-bunz had this.

It took me quite a while to finish my ravioli. I'm not a very fast eater and I can't eat so much. But when it costs RM 34 for a plate, of course I'm going to finish it! LOL! But it's delicious so I'm not complaining. Then there's the dessert. I was hoping B-bunz could help me out with the dessert but he was still not feeling very well so he just ordered a hot Caffe Latte (RM 9) and I had to finish the dessert myself. It was a chocolate cake with 1 scoop of vanilla ice-cream - "Fondente al cioccalato" (RM 26).

Ooooh mamma mia!

The chocolate cake was so rich, I was about to faint. I cannot finish the whole thing at all. I enjoyed the vanilla ice-cream but the cake made me shiver. I'm not much of a chocolate fan. B-bunz enjoys chocolate more than me. I'm a vanilla girl. But since B-bunz was afraid his stomach might get more upset, he didn't even take a bite of the cake. I had to mix the strawberry with the cake so that it doesn't taste so strong. However, I only managed to finish half. Oooh wow, chocolate that rich leaves me all tingly. I'm sure I gained 5 pounds just from that. LOL!

By the end of it, I was full - like I said, I'm not the type that eat much. Luckily I didn't go crazy and ordered a T-bone steak or pizza or something. The total of our lunch that day which includes Gov. Tax and Service Charge is RM 144.90. So, would I come here again? Maybe I would but not anytime soon. I like the food but the portion is a little less than the average Italian restaurant. It would probably be fun to come in big groups, order a variety of food and share together like one big happy mafia family. LOL!

I think I should start playing my Mafia Wars game again now.

Bella Enveeus said...

Yup, it is delicious and for chocolate lovers (such as yourself), I'm sure it's a hit! Well, it's sort of nearby Beach Club. It's actually right opposite Modesto's (which is the same row as Beach Club) and Aloha.. This restaurant has the simplest and probably most unattractive signboard. It's blue and the text is yellow. HAHA! :-P
