As you already know,I am thoroughly fed up at having been taken for a ride so many times,to the point that I am now overtly cautious about trying out new outlets.
Thus I am taking the easy way out again and posting up negative feedback from the horses mouth of the ....shall we say..."victims"themselves.
This is a ten table restaurant that looks like a cigar bar from the outside.
The couple running the show ...one is angmo,the other is Malaysian born.
Conde Nast Traveller describes them both as "uprooted from London" as well as "a restaurant serving cicchetti (the Venetian equivalent of tapas) and fish specialties".
In the next breath,they promise us authentic Italian and home-cooked Venetian.
Until another foreign customer describes their food as Northern Italian.
Perplexingly strange this one.
Like they didn't know that,words once spoken get immortalised forever even in this corner of the world wide web?

Blue Alila ,United Kingdom:
“Not very Italian”
We visited this restaurant and wouldn't call it particularly Italian. It was as if the restaurant has given up on being Italian and has gone for the local clientele instead. Ever heard of Duck Pizza with Bechamel sauce before?
LGKnature,Langkawi :
“Great location, good food but small portions”
Located in a very nice old building with great atmosphere; not a big place and only 10 tables, but quite busy at the time I was there. Staff was very friendly and attentive, menu was limited, and good wine selection. Had a 3 course dinner; started with salmon and tomato salsa (very nice but small portion), fish with vegetables (no idea what fish it was and it was a very small portion) with roasted potatoes (some were overroasted which I left and no remark when they took my plate) and tiramisu (very nice, but was on my table within 30 seconds after ordering it). The food quality of what I tried is without doubt very good, but after 3 courses still feeling hungry is not a good sign; maybe I should have taken pizza (saw them in normal sizes passing by) or pasta to avoid this. The bill came up to 145RM including 2 glasses of good wine and that would be fine if portions are bigger. Overall it was far too cold for me and think you really need long sleeves. As this is new place (and was recommended by a friend) I will give it another try within the next 6 months as I think that many things were on the positive side.
MWLM Singapore :
“So much hype over nothing.”
Coffee, espresso, was a totally watered down americano and they had the cheek to tell me THAT was how they served espresso, utter rubbish! Coffee grounds could be found at the bottom of the cup! For that sort of price, Starbucks does a far better job! Looks can be deceiving.
