Porto Romano, Flavors of the Mediterranean


Porto Romano is an unassuming restaurant/bar located on the ground floor of City Square. You’ll spot the big Porto Romano sign once you see the building. It’s just right next to the entrance. Here you’ll get to enjoy the best of Greek, Spanish, Albanian and Italian cuisines.

The restaurant is cozy, quiet and very, very relaxing. The vibrant background music gives it an extra romantic setting. Very suitable for a quiet dinner for couples. However, this restaurant (especially the bar) is mostly frequent by expatriates. Mostly those who works at the buildings nearby. It’s a great hang out place for a drink or two after a harrowing day.

The staffs are friendly. Customer service is excellent and food we ordered arrived extremely quick. I think we only waited for like less than 10 minutes.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

The food was quite exceptional. We had the Cream of Mushroom Soup. It’s made out of three different mushrooms; grey oyster, fresh button and shitake. I find it not as smooth as other mushroom soup i had. It has a thick creamy texture to it. Kind of like a mushroom chowder. Good stuff.

The Seafood Combo salad served in a lovely clamshell looks pretty inviting. The salad have a mixture of seafood such as mussels, clams, prawns, squid among other things. Everything marinated in herbs, lemon juice and olive oil for flavour *did i make your mouth water? LOL. It was pretty good except i wished it was served really cold with extra lemon. I know i have weird taste but i like it cold coz it’ll taste more fresh.

What i love the most is the thin crust pizza. We had the Diavola(Devils) Pizza (cheese and pepperoni pizza) which is quite huge (8 chunky slices) for the two of us. Nevertheless, we managed to finish it coz it’s so delicious and it’s spicy! The cheese is quite thick and spongy plus the dough is pretty soft and really thin so it doesn’t over power the toppings. I really hate the taste of thick and hard dough of some pizza. It’s like eating bread instead of pizza. I give this two thumbs up. Oh yeah, try not to put too much of the Porto Romano’s tobasco chili. It’s darn spicy. *don’t say i didn’t warn you.

Overall the food is great, customer service is excellent and the price is very affordable. It was actually surprised that our bill came to a mere RM70++. The pizza actually cost less than those from Pizza Hut or Domino’s LOL. Next visit (when we’re not so full) we’ll try the signature dish. Lamb Shank! *only RM20++ i think
