Looking for a good Italian restaurant in Shah Alam and Klang might proof to be a difficult task. With the opening of Tosca Trattoria Italiana at DoubleTree by Hilton Shah Alam i-City, we can now indulge in authentic Italian flavors and an exquisite dining experience.
I attended the launching of new menus at Tosca Trattoria Italiana and I promise it will tantalize your tastebuds!
We started the night with a welcome drink of mocktails and cocktails.
For appetizers, we had rustic creamy mushroom soup served with warm garlic bread.
Next, our eyes are on the pizza as it’s one of the main attractions. My tastebuds were blown away by the Pizza Lione di Tacchino con Buratta. At Tosca Trattoria Italiana, they served fresh and premium ingredients. Some items are flown directly from Italy such as the creamy burrata cheese which is rich in flavor elevated the pizza taste. Their chef, Chef Afiq has 15- years in pizza mastery, and you can taste it from the pizza dough. Soft dough with crispy crust that compliments well with other ingredients.
For those who loved a good pasta, Tosca has a good variety as well. We tasted Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca, perfectly cooked pastas in tangy spice pasta sauce that comes with black olives, anchovies, tomatoes and capers. Certainly delish! Next round, we will try the the Aglio Olio di Gamberi which has tiger prawns and a hint of home-grown red chili.
Other highlights of the night include their poultry dishes. The Angus Beef steak was perfectly cooked paired with grilled potatoes and balsamic salad. Juicy and tender Rack of lamb is also a hot favourite that night.
However, the poultry dish that I loved most is the Smoked Duck Mashed Potatoes. It’s a fusion flavor dish (combination of Asia & Italy), the richness of the duck compliments well with the potatoes flavor. This is a must try at Tosca Trattoria Italiana.
We ended the night with desserts. We had Nonna Tiramisu which translates to ‘Grandmother’. The chefs at Tosca replicated the traditional-style tiramisu with imported mascarpone cheese and cream layered on top of lady fingers biscuits soaked in cold brew coffee. The result was a rich velvety texture tiramisu that you can’t resist.
We also had Affogato with sugary coated lady fingers in edible nuts & cranberries, rich vanilla ice cream and fragrant espresso coffee flakes. I was tempted for seconds but was simply too full.
It was certainly a night of gastronomic Italian feast right from the start till the end. Tosca’s talented chefs have carefully curated a menu that celebrates the essence of Italian cuisine, delivering a truly authentic dining experience. The biggest strength of Tosca is their fresh import premium ingredients such as angus rib-eye beef, gorgonzola cheese and parmigianio reggiano parmesan wheels.
