Prego, Westin Hotel, Bukit Bintang, Malaysia

Prego has begun the year with a change in menu, music and prices. They carry on delivering some of their old crowd pleasers but are now offering options for the health conscious by giving a choice of wholemeal and gluten/ dairy free pastas and pizza bases. We tried ou…

Pietro, Damansara Endah, KL, Malaysia

Entering Pietro Ristorante Italiano you are greeted by a clean smart interior, long open bar and gentle Italian tunes serenading the background. Although a large area, there are sufficient nooks, corners, upstairs and private rooms for you to find a space to sui…
