Love Nutrient Viva La Pasta @ Istay Hotel, Rangoon Road, Georgetown, Penang.

With a get upwards similar Viva La Pasta, 1 would expression to come across a heavy Italian fare inward this newly opened restaurant. It is housed inside the novel budget hotel- iStay Hotel inward the pump of Georgetown. Step inward the cafe together with y'all volition move pleasantly amazed past times how cozy the house is. While every endeavour was made to ensure the house lives upwards to the classy Italian topic but nosotros did non intend the Italian chemical cistron was potent enough. In fact, nosotros spotted a wallpaper amongst Chinese characters. On the menu, it offers quite a broad diverseness of Italian fare, ranging from Antipasto, Pizza, Pasta, Grills together with fifty-fifty classic Italian desserts. Very wallet-friendly toll points but every bit far every bit authenticity is concerned, nosotros idea the flavors bring been localized to adapt the local audience. 



Pizza Funghi (Rm 18)


Vongole (Rm 18)


Tiramisu (Rm 14)

If y'all are on a tight budget, their Rm xix educate tiffin (includes a Soup, Main, a drinking glass of Drink together with Dessert) may move a practiced option. When asked for recommendation, the server introduced their Vongole amongst aplomb. The Linguine was beautifully cooked to al-dente texture served amongst heaps of Clams together with Broccoli. We did non similar the Broccoli here, for they were overcooked. The Seafood essence could move bolder together with the hint of spiciness tin move farther enhanced. It was alright but definitely non the best 1 around. 

All Pizzas come upwards inward 8 inches together with sparse crust, our club of Pizza Funghi consists of thinly sliced Button Mushroom together with Garlic amongst Tomato base. The flavour combo was okay but the earthiness of the Mushrooms was muted, the exclusively relief was the crunchy seize amongst teeth of Garlic. No Italian repast is consummate without Tiramisu, Viva La Pasta's version was decent but lacked of the "X" factor; likely nosotros prefer our Tiramisu creamier. It is suggested that the Tiramisu to move shared past times two diners.
