6 Last-minute Italian Restaurant Tips for Valentine’s Day

For the procrastinators out there: keep it simple, go Italian, book now! Here are UNRESERVED’s picks to elevate your romantic game at some of the best Italian restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.

Zenzero Restaurant & Wine Bar

Every year, the restaurant curates a special Valentine’s Day menu made, as with all their menus, from high-quality ingredients. The V-day menu has four courses, with inspiring titles of love, because restauranteur Roberto Guiati wants you to enjoy each other’s company longer for this special occasion. He suggests you “begin with a powerful starter, move to a more relaxed entrée, followed by a strong complex main, finishing with a sweet dessert.”

Check out the menu (they serve Chilled Cauliflower Cream Shot, Freshly Shuck Irish Oysters, Scottish Salmon and Herb Crusted Hokkaido Scallop, Lemon Tartlets) because the waves of tastes are meant to impress and intrigue all palates. Don’t forget to pair your courses because like Roberto says, “it’s a good day to get tipsy”.

La Risata

If you want something other than pasta, you can try the restaurant’s head chef, Kumar’s suggestion. His menu includes Roasted Beef Ribs in a reduction of red wine sauce on a bed of creamy and rich potato purée. Followed by the classic taste of Tiramisu to finish off your romantic dinner on the right note.
