Birthday Treat @ Pietro Ristorante Italiano, Damansara Heights
17:14
Not long ago, yours truly turned 23. I've never thought that i would hate birthdays, but as i grow older, i dread the coming of this day, because it means that i'm getting older. Next year onward, wrinkles will start to show. Sigh, how i wish i could stay young forever.
Anyways, Mr. J brought me to a beautiful Italian restaurant for a fine-dining experience. The thoughtful boy even made early reservation for the day. I am always a big fan of natural flavours. What is better than an authentic Italian cuisine that appreciate natural flavours for a birthday treat? We went to Pietro Ristorante Italiano in Damansara Heights, in the Libra business building. Pietro offers a series of simple and comfort Italian food which is so suitable for the rainy night. We were so famished by the time we reached and ordered a concoction of food: Brodo di Pesce (Tomato Seafood Soup), Mushroom and Truffle Risotto, Spaghetti Carbonara, D'Agnello (Roasted lamb Rack) as well as a cup of hot chocolate for the big boy.

| Brodo di Pesce--RM 32++ Tomato Seafood soup, served with a piece of toasted white bread. |
To be good at Italian food, the flavours must be rich and natural, warm and comforting. That was exactly what we got from the dinner at Pietro's. My favourite was the starter--tomato seafood soup. It was cooked in sweet and sourish tomato broth, together with fresh and juicy seafood that added tonnes of sweetness and flavours.
 |
| Mushroom & Truffle Risotto--RM 35++ mushroom and risotto, cooked with risotto soaked in white wine and broth. |
 |
| Carbonara--RM 32++ Carbonara cooked with beef bacon, served with pasta of choice |
 |
| D'Agnello--RM 55++ Roasted lamb racked, served with salad and potato wedges, dressed with balsamic vinaigrette and sauce. |
Our main dishes did not disappoint as well. The mushroom risotto tasted like ten types of mushroom blended together, giving out such an intense and earthy mushroom essence in the well cooked risotto. Carbonara was a little bit too creamy to my liking, but i appreciate the al dente spaghetti that was so pleasant to bite in. Our lamb racks was cooked to perfection with our request of medium rare, just a little bit too salty. I would prefer to have more sauce to go with this dish as well.

| Hot Chocolate--RM 10++ |
I need not say further that we truly enjoyed the warm service, modern interior and wonderful dinner we had in Pietro's. I wonder why this hidden gem has yet to reach out to the community in Klang Valley. If you are wondering where to spend this festive season with loved ones, give Pietro a try. I mean, who will reject some good old Italian food right? Have a wonderful week ahead! xoxo.
