Italiana Today

4-Feb ~ We fêted this very special day in Bravo Italiana. This shop used to be Aji Nipon, located just next to the Ichiyo Ramen. Now it had turned into an Italian restaurant.Upon entered, we were greet with a grin by the waitress. As we seated, I can the strech of pictures of Italy were hang orderly on both of the wall. I guess the owner of this restaurant must have trek all around Italy, as you can pictures of Leaning tower of Pisa, Rome, France and etc. Each table, were decorated with an Italy map where you can see Italy in whole. As we glimpsed through menu, we can see that this restaurant is offering set dinner, inclusive of a soup, a main course, a drink and a dessert. The price range differs from which main course you are ordering. We decide to order Seabass Tuscany, of RM38++.

First to arrive was this Iced Lemon tea. Just like the plain-old-lemon tea we used to have.Next to arrive was the Green pea soup. I can savor that the soup base was made from potato purée to smooth texture. Simmer together with some chicken stock and pulp green peas, this soup was excellent combinations with the Garlic bread served on the house. Inside the soup, you can find chunks of potatoes. I can really gulp up the whole bowl of soup. *hahhahhaa* Heres’ comes over main dish, Seabass Tuscany. I just fell in love when I read the portray of this beauty. Chunks of Seabass were grilled in a perfect way and seasoned with lots of black pepper. The sauce of this dish was superb as they add some white wine on it. Together with some herbs like thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper to taste. This sauce really brings out the flavor of seabass itself. YumYum!!We make up our mind up to try on the so-called famous pasta. Italian was famous for their pastas, either with cream sauce or in the heavy tomato sauce. It was this Penne La’ Cosova, made of stirred fried of cooked penne together with tomato basil and also some sliced hotdogs. If you can take beef, you can always swap the hotdog with the beef. You can taste a enormous tang of the garlic itself in this dish. Lastly, sprinkled with some parmesan cheese and some basil leaves, and you will have aromatic yet appetizing pasta. Only served at RM19.8. Good!!The last to dish up was the Strawberry ‘Bono Cota’…. (Sorry….that’s what I evoke when I asked the waitress what is that…hope that I got it correct… *grin*). It was the milky pudding served underneath the cup. Top with some extremely sweet strawberry sauce….for me-la…. and also my favorite, halves of fresh strawberry was the dessert of the day… it was really yummy if you have a sweet tooth for this. Overall, I like it so much over here; it’s like the Mini Italy for me, where you can see loads of pictures of Italy while enjoying their ever famous cuisine over here.
Worth a visit!!
