Lunch at Italiannies, 1 Utama

Date: 28 January 2009, Wednesday
Venue: Italiannies Restaurant, 1 Utama Shopping Centre
Occasion: Lunch with Aaron
Overall comment: Large portion! That's the 1st comment that I could give :P We love the food there...and the atmosphere as well :) The price isn't too extravagant too if you share ;) Overall, we had a great time dining there :)
Halal: Yes

I've always loved their bread...if I'm very hungry, I would have requested for more bread...hohoho...but that day, Aaron & I weren't extremely hungry, so those 2 pieces each was good enough to start us :) I like the herb-bread best. It goes best with the mixture of olive oil (with 7 different herbs & spices) + black vineger...

Our Appetizer - Quattro Platter (RM25.90/serving)
"A combination of deep fried risotto balls, calamari, stuffed mushrooms and zucchini fritte, complete with marinara sauce and alfredo dressing for dip."
We got conned...the risotta balls didn't taste like it....it tasted like mashed potato balls...the stuffed mushrooms didn't turn out as expected; it came out as parmasen cheese balls with a piece of diced mushroom... :( Those balls were indeed 'bomb balls' as I call them...SO difficult to swallow...it's WAY too cheesy... :S Even Aaron didn't want to touch them *sigh*

Our Main Course - Clam Linguine (RM30.90/serving)
"Fresh clams sauteed in clam broth, garlic and olive oil. Served over linguine and sprinkled with chili flakes."
We loved this. Thankfully we didn't order anything cheesy :) This dish is a simple, easy to enjoy, & just a very delicious dish altogether...we thought we made a good choice ;)
