Mario & Luigi

Mmmmmmmm. Definitely no fault in the food, a bit pricey, lovely airy ambiance in the day and romantic city at night. Food has so far always been good, the service with slight hitches.

Another awesome restaurant from the Big group
For starters the zucchini fritters is delicious
For main, we tried linguine Bay bugs, I think this was the winner among the three that we tried. The truffle tagliatelle was delicious
However we would not suggest the risoni beef cheek. The beef taste may be too strong and overwhelming for some.

— Location: close to Bangsar and far enough from the hustle and overhyped bustle of Bangsar.
— Parking: they have a valet! Just say you’re eating at Mario. It’s awesome. Definitely a win here. ⁵⁄₅
— Set up: Dining set up — fancy. There is literally a tree in the restaurant. It’s pretty fancy. Very good for dates.
— Upstairs — bar and lounge. Yeah, a lounge. A whole lounge to sit down and relax with friends. Highly recommended for a fancy evening with friends.
— Service: 5 star service. Actually feels like being on a first class flight.
— Food: Get the truffle pasta. If you enjoy ‘telur mata’ (sunny side up egg) on your nasi lemak, this is a whole different level of pasta.
— Drinks: Get their signature cocktail.
— Highly recommended for dates or impressing your future in laws.

In love with their food! It’s not the usual fancy fine dining place to expect but it’s a pretty decent environment for one! :) Loved the fact that almost everything on their menu tasted awesome!
They have a really comfy spot upstairs, which is also a bar and it has both smoking and non-​smoking areas. The dining area is also very unique, as you can see through the kitchen and watch the chef work their magic to turn food to amazing dishes!
I left the place with a huge satisfaction as I couldn’t stop remembering about the good taste of their cured salmon trout, tuna tartare and their tagliatelle. These were amaze balls!
I highly recommend this place if you want a switch of food environment and food choices. It’s really unique and it’s placed in a less obvious part of the hectic city.
I don’t usually give 5 star reviews, but when I do, you know what i meant :)

A comfortable, quiet and romantic restaurant that will surely impress your date. If you plan to organise a small party, Mario & Luigi will not let you down. You can expect courteous and attentive service. In addition, the food is cooked perfectly. It was my first visit. My Portuguese good friend, other fellow Unilocal Elites and I were very impressed by the delicious and well-​presented food. Head over to Mario & Luigi!

Mario & Luigi is located outside of my usual food-​hunting zone, but I’m definitely returning to this place because it is A-​MA-​ZING!
The premise is split into two zones, the bar upstairs and the restaurant downstairs.
Décor and atmosphere: I would say that it is a mix of modern minimalist and quirky. From the iconic Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield potrait, the Mario Bros light display to the little things like selection of cutlery, I’d say it is evident that the people behind Mario & Luigi had a very deliberate process in designing the place. I also really like the semi-​open kitchen that allowed us a little glimpse into what happens behind the scenes.
Food: I had the Bruschetta, Cured Salmon Trout, Burrata, Tuna Tartare, Capellini, Tagliatelle, Braised Short Ribs, Lamb Rack and the Tiramisu. I enjoyed all of it but what amazed me the most were the Lamb Rack, Tagliatelle, the Cured Salmon Trout and the Tiramisu. Words cannot explain how delicious the entire experience was!
Service: The waiters were very attentive and were constantly offering refills. They were also very polite and friendly!
Price: I reviewed their pricing and think that, for their high quality food and service, their prices are pretty reasonable, but not right for those with a tight budget. This is a place for a fine dining experience!
Parking: Might need to look around for a bit to find a spot

If you’re looking for a place to dine that’s exclusive and different from just another restaurant, you would want to pay Mario & Luigi a visit. As you’d know it’s not easy to get a parking at this area, but fret’ not as they do have their own valet here who could ease your worries.
The restaurant itself as you would know, similar to other restaurants under The Big Group, has a lot of attention paid to every small details of the interior and use of decorations. The first thing that got my attention was the tree that’s standing at the al fresco dining area. With their rustic decorations and windy backyard, I would say that this could easily be a very romantic date spot. Of course, their wine list would help just notch the romance.
If you’re familiar with this area, you would know Hit & Mrs, but something different about Mario & Luigi is that they do not change their menu like how they do it for Hit & Mrs. Instead, they do sometimes change what’s being served in the same dish, e.g. they might serve a different seafood in the pasta, depending what’s the freshest that they could get in the market. That being said, you know that you are getting the fresh foods while you’re there.
I tried their truffle pasta and their sea urchin pasta. Definitely loved how the truffle pasta was so precisely flavored, that you would still taste the other ingredients in it, but you wouldn’t get the frustration of not tasting the truffle. And, the sea urchin pasta was a very delicate dish too, cooked with crab bisque, topped with fresh sea urchin. The choices of primi are generally under a hundred Ringgit, which isn’t entirely on the cheap side. But, I personally find it worth it, provided the ambience, food quality and the overall dining experience.
For desserts, we picked their panna cotta, and definitely loved this Italian cooked cream which was presented nothing less than what I would call an art. It’s served with a big tear drop of sorbet, and I liked it for not being too sweet. With the crunch of some muesli in it, it was a good wrap for the dinner!
