Villa Danieli

Italian with a little bit romance. Villa Danielli serves up delicious lamb and cod on top of pastas and pizzas

Italian

Standing five floors above the city streets, come here for the Wood Oven Baked Fillet of Cod and the Rack of Lamb with Mint Crust. Combined with the great ambience from the beautifully designed interior, what else could you ask for? Here's the low down...

You get to dine in a nice cozy little Villa in the middle of KL. The interiors looks like a creative cross of Italian and Roman design with its beautifully painted ceilings and the dimly lit settings. Just alluring to romantics and private conversations alike. Villa Danieli has a good range of appetizers, soups and pizzas but we just can't wait to tell you about the rack of lamb and the cod.

Before that, one should try the Maltagliati here. Maltagliati means 'badly cut' which mostly refers to the randomly cut pasta in the servings or perhaps soups. Villa Danieli's version comes served with lobster ragout, fresh tomatoes and pesto sauce. Has a nice flavorful taste which is delightfully enhanced with generous bits of lobsters.

The succulent and flavourful Roasted Rack of lamb with mint crust is one of the chef's specialty. It's one of our favourites as well. The hauntingly flavourful tender lamb has the rosemary sauce enticing us even more and also comes served with roasted potatoes. It's a superb cut. The lamb called us for seconds and we took the call in for that second experience....juicy, tender and succulent...

"Dining in a villa in a city"


One of the hidden surprises we found in this cozy restaurant is their Wood oven baked Baked Fillet of Cod. This sinful main fare comes hidden underneath a delicious crust of olive oil bread and vegetables. The baked cod itself was superbly prepared, surprisingly juicy, (if can be explained that way for cod) and succulent. You can really enjoy the freshness of the cod in this preparation. Just dabble in a bit of pepper or a splash of lemon juice if you dare... great for that extra kick...

Soften up your tummy with some warm chocolate cake (with mint ice cream and forest berries) or even the villa tiramisu. Finish up with some house coffee. After dinner have a peaceful stroll by the pool outside
