I will always come here for a good hearty Italian meal whenever I’m in KK. The beef carpaccio is really good, love the seafood zuppa and all the pasta dishes are always good. Also, good selection of wines and house pouring wine is excellentGrazie e Arrivederci.ciao

Reviewed By yesnatalie

Very disappointed. We ordered a “Life is a Celebration” set dinner for 7 people. This restaurant didn’t serve like fine dining. Well, the waiters do have good altitude.1. Starting with our bread (2 choices)-BUT you are not allowed to choose what you want. The waiter said finished.2. Main course(Beef)- you are not allowed to choose your own preferences ( how you want your beef....). The waiter told me in this set dinner-all beef have to be well done. (Unbelievable! Beef lover-you know what I means)3. Dessert- most of our desserts came with “melting” ice-cream and different timing plus missing things for 2 people. (7 of us ordered the same desserts)I do understand “you get what you pay for..”I knew this is a set-dinner with cheap price RM140/ RM190(with flight wine). However, this fine dining is not what I expected like after reading all the reviews. Did I expected too much? Mmmm...Especially the writing plate for the surprise birthday cake! (Speechless) I FELT embarrassed to arrange this. ( Low standard white plate with the writing- Not like what I saw from other reviewers)

Irish Shamrock Bar & Restaurant

Reviewed By Tracey and Mart... B

On the waterfront with good food and beer and cider. Staff are super friendly but it does get very busy later in the evening. Access is easy from the waterfront promenade and the view of the sunset is majestic. Great place for a beer with friends or even a larger group lots of room. Inside the air con is as cold as the beer (great considering the Temp) and outside in the late afternoon is warm and breezy.

Reviewed By TomGuppy

If you fancy pizza or pasta then here's your place on KK. Pizzas have a thin base and are as close as you'll get to traditionally Italian.Great taste too and reasonable. 12" could be shared between two. Casual atmosphere inside, busy when we went, people coming and going which was a good sign too. Service was very good also!
