Cest La Vie in KL: Italiannies @ Gardens Midvalley

Set lunch at RM13.90 including soup, main course and drinks at Italiannies. Well, actually it starts from RM13.90. We sort of believed that all the sets are priced at RM13.90 and found out only one set which is the pizza set is RM13.90! Portion size is like the lunch size on the ala carte menu which is still quite big for ladies. We couldn't finish all the food between the four of us and stuffed to the brim! I have talked about Italiannies here before.

The Ambiance

The usual complimentary white and herbed bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip.

There were two choices of soup, minestrone or mushroom soup. The mushroom soup was good as it was a little chunky. The minestrone soup was kind of too oily. They green stuff they top it on the soup was something like pesto with loads of olive oil. So that kind of explains the oiliness of it and it didn't really suit my taste bud with all the herbs.

The Ceasar Salad was pretty ok. The calamari pieces were good. Not too much batter and crispy at the same time. The vegetables were pretty fresh.

The Spaghetti Bolognaise was very heavy and salty. It was supposed to be Penne Bolognaise but the Penne was not ready and gave us an option of pasta to choose from. My friend chose the spaghetti. They gave very generous portions of meat and at one time, it kinda looked as if it had more minced meat than noodles. If only it was not so salty, it would have been good. Portion is generous!

Chicken and Mushroom Spaghetti is on the light side and was quite good. Lightly stir fried with generous amounts of sliced chicken breast, mushrooms and rocket leaves. Pretty tasty in my opinion.
