Pizzaiola is an Italian restaurant at the sub-basement level of Prangin Mall. Giant hypermarket used to occupy this floor.
My meal begins with a complimentary appetizer: tortilla chips with tomato salsa. It is quite unusual to serve this starter in an Italian restaurant.
As for the main dish, I selected the Seafood Symphony (RM39.80). In this dish, rice noodle is deep-fried until it turns crispy. The dish is then served with scallops, mussels, squids and tomato sauce. In my opinion, Seafood Symphony seems out of place in an Italian restaurant.
For dessert, I opted for Lava Cake (RM15.80) which includes a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Chocolate syrup oozes out as soon as the cake is punctured. Overall, I feel the Lava Cake’s chocolate taste is not rich enough.
My choice of drink is Hazelnut Latte (RM8.90). Made of espresso and steamed milk, the cup of coffee is quite satisfying.
Other restaurants near Pizzaiola are Saffron and Imperial Chinese Cuisine. All three outlets are under the same management.
