Start with the tasty tomato bruschetta or crema di funghi & try the pumpkin rocket salad while deciding on yr fav main course. Their delicious Italian fare will please the most discriminating palate.

Baked aubergine was delicious! Seafood pasta and the salmon + turkey pizza was good :) Would come again for the aubergine :p Drinks are pricey ! Very dim lighting . Bad for taking pics :(

Melissa Goh

Squid ink angel hair - TOO GOOD. Their smoked salmon/tuna/snow fish pizza was really good as well . Very close to authentic Italian dish . Highly recommended! ????????????????

I always order this:- THE FISH SOUP RM62 Half serving RM38 For seafood lovers - huge servings of prawn , squid , mussel , clam & fish in a rich tomato sauce with garlic , chilli & parsley

The mixed seafood pasta was great, like the one we had in Milan. The matching wine , can't remember the name though(in Italian you know), is equally good. Had a great night out with the gals.

Recommended: salmon ravioli . Very well-executed. The aubergine parmagiana antipasti is so large that I suggest you only order if you have a big party, else you'd be too full. Noisy venue & kitchen.

Lin Ma

Not everything is fantastic but some items are very good. the special pizza is to die for.

ML Koh

Great pasta dishes and good serving! Personally love the tortellini here and the al dente pasta textures!

Saralina Ali

Kururu Reirra

Full house. Always! Best to call n make rsvp first. Some foods are above average. Seafoods are overcooked. Pizza is yummy! Offering foods at affordable price .

Still the best squid ink risotto . Keep it up!

My second visit here and was not disappointed. Their dessert is a must have. Panna cotta !! Advisable to make reservations on the weekends.

Kin Hoe Lee

Tried the signature seafood pasta and salmon ravioli . Both are excellent. The restaurant could get quite noisy when it's crowded .

Mei Yen

Delicious squid ink risotto and calamari . Make sure you make reservation :)

Adam H

OMG. I love the food here. Pizza frutti de mare and pasta alla risata. Enjoyed every bite. Well , maybe I was just too hungry.

James Yeang

House specialty ravioli is the best ravioli I've had in my life

Zen Chong

Order the pizza with the turkey ham , gorgonzola cheese and caramalized onions . Also, their steak is surprisingly good.

Yan Phoa

Haven't been here for about a year and the standard of the food has really declined. It would appear that the kitchen staff has changed completely as some dishes were unrecognizable from previously!

Polin Heng

This is still special the squid ink pasta but the ingredients too little

Juliet Lyi

The panna cotta is sooo good. Mains are okay, I've only tried the gnocchi and barramundi , tastes good but portions are small if you're a big eater.

Y Y

Fairly good Italian . Pizza and pasta is recommended

Lin Ma

food is pretty good but service is ridiculous. my pasta came right after they served me th soup , then my wine finally showed up half way through my pasta . go figure!

Adrian Chan

Good Italian fare with a reasonable wine list . The pasta and pizza are excellent

Shazlan Sufian

Long time customer of both La Risatas. Pizza Romano is the bomb! Absolute favorite thing.

Nazrif Khan

Never fails to satisfy your craving for a hearty italian meal ....

Jasmine Lew

Thin crust pizza is the crush! Do give the house specialty - salmon ravioli in creamy salmon cream a try, very yummy dish!

Zen Chong

Was pleasantly surprised by the steak . Didn't think it would be that good since they focus on pasta and pizza .

Michelle Chew

Love d aubergine antipasti ... Carbonara pizza and their imported italian beer . Service was superbly fast too!

eric

Food use to be decent but since they changed chef it's not really that good or Italian. I've never have a ragout that was like a stew with so much broth (lamb pappardelle ).

Carmen C

Salmon ravioli , spaghetti carbonara and aglio olio were all good!

Ruhila Roslan

Fabulous foods :) love the funghi pizza and grilled mushroo. Ouh and its chocolate cake for dessert ! Yummeh!

Try Lamb ragu pasta . Very fragrant meaty broth.

Salads are very big and good, great pumpkin soup . Coffee is however very average, and pizza dough is wrong - it's sweet, tastes like crackers .
