Tosca - Kuala Lumpur

An Italian restaurant at Intermark Mall, under Double Tree KL by Hilton. Almost a fine culinary experience of Italian cuisine. The restaurant has pasta, pizza and bread baking on site. Service was excellent. Friendly and fast waiters and employees. Food was amazing, fell in love with it. The menu is the usual Italian menu. We went to the place at night, the environment was really warm, not too hot or cold.

Top class delicious Italian food. Wanted to dine in on Valentines day but they were fully booked. We then ordered from this restaurant to be delivered to our room in Double Tree Hotel. Ordered the Margherita pizza, mushroom soup, Prawn Aglio Olio and some seafood fried plater. The mushroom soup was delicious and had large bits of mushroom. I normally do not like Aglio Olio but the one they served was perfect with generous servings of large prawns, cooked just right. Each bite had a infusion of different flavours. The seafood platter was also out of this world. The pizza was above average. Had a wonderful culinary experience eating their food. Looking forward to visiting this place again in the near future.

I love the food here!! So worth it for the price! It's one of the better steaks i have had in my life (and i have had many). Very generous with the wine also

This is small Cinderella story. The waiter had no clue what a lemonade was, and offered first a Sprite with lemon juice, and then just lemon juice with ice water. Not a big deal, but sort of surprising. The complementary bread was not overly fantastic, and although the pesto was delicious, the olive oil quality was below par and so was the vinegar. They didn't have any Italian beer, so I had to settle for a Carlsberg. So, sort of a bumpy start, sitting right next to a fitness room. Then things turned around. I ordered a Caprese salad and Aglio olio with Tiger shrimp, and it was both great meals and reasonably priced. I have been to many Italian restaurants i KL, that charged four times what I paid, and impressed me much less. Well done.

Points: 1. Vibes was really nice. It was next to the DoubleTree pool and the lighting space was great. 2. Staff was friendly and super attentive points: 1. Service speed was a lil inconsistent. Some food came super fast and some took a really long time to come out. Not a show stopper but could be better for the price you pay. Food review: (some without photos because the focus was on conversations and I forgot about the photos Lol) We came in a huge group and tried quite a fair bit of their food. Most are good but not a huge wow. 1. The focaccia bread was served complementary on the house. It was okay but the olive oil and balsamic vinegar still a lil more to desire. 2. Mozzarella cheese sticks It was okay but some parts were cold. I presume they came frozen and were fried and served. And I imagined them to be crunchy and getting the stringy pull from mozzarella but it wasn't so. Crunchy yes, but that was it. 3. Pizzas! We ordered quite a bit for pizzas. I think we had the margherita, arrabiata, Tosca and the 4 cheese thing (don't remember the name). Most are good but not none came out winning. One I particularly wanted to review was the arrabiata one. We were anticipating it but we could identify which or the 4 it was because none had a hint of spicyness. Kinda a pity because I was looking forward to it. 4. Bruschetta price lil on the high side for 2 slices. I remember the description had something along the lines of garlic rubbed on bread with xxx toppings can't recall it but I didn't taste the garlic. I love my bruschetta so this was a lil under my expectations. The salad that accompanied it was okay. Lol. I like salads so no comments there. 5. Lobster bisque flavour a lil too heavy. Not heavy from the cream but heavy from the seafood smell kinda heavy. You can taste the lobster flavour but it kinda seems like the shell has probably been sitting for awhile (like in a not so fresh kinda way) Or perhaps the broth was too thick it tasted as if you are eating grounded lobster shell. It was okay on the creaminess level, lobster flavour not too great and a lil on the bitter side. I had one mouthful and didn't wanna go further. But it could be a personal preference kinda thing. Some found it okay. 6. Mushroom risotto was great. I loved it but again probably a personal preference thing. I loved how it smelled really good (you could smell the heavenly smell of mushroom when they served it), was just the right amount of creaminess and you could taste the truffles oil blending in nicely with bits of cheese saltiness from the parmesan. My friend however didn't like it because it was too heavy for her. 7. Tiramisu disappointing. Too much of cream. Flavours don't shine. Don't know where to start 8. Panna Cotta it was okay. Nothing to shout about. Have tasted better. 9. Pasta is not handmade by the way. We asked the waitress and she said it's not handmade. I didn't try the pasta but our group had ordered it. From the empty plates, they are probably good :D Overall an okay experience. 3.5 stars for the food and the remaining 0.5 stars for the vibes and especially the service. I must emphasize the staff was really friendly and great. They greeted us on the way in and out. Took our orders promptly. Came to check consistently whether everything was good. Kudos to the team. They made the whole experience good.
