Gathering & Food: Venezia Italian Restaurant, Taman Segar Cheras

Hello folks,

Welcome back to the edition of the New Year Eve Gathering which took placed at Venezia Italian Restaurant at Taman Segar in Cheras. It was attended by 10 of us including Me & Kimmy, Sai Kit & Chloe, Han Chung, Matthew, Sai Kit 2 Friend, Steve Chai & Kevin Kong. We reached the restaurant at about 8.30pm after there's not much traffic jam in the city just yet. It was barely dissapointing when we enter the restaurant because there's no place to sit because the place is entirely small. All the tables were occupied. I told the waitress that I've called for booking for 9 persons. After 9.00pm, we still did not get our tables yet until 9.15pm. Then we were provided by a 6 persons table as a temporarily because still the tables were all occupied. Finally we got the table to be joined together at 9.30pm as after joining the table, it can accomodate 9 of us. We were very frusfrated because although we do booking already, we still did not get our seat until 9.30pm. The waiter service was OK but the system (booking & table allocation was very poor).


After sitting down, we looked at the menu and there were lots of varieties to choose from pizzas to pasta's and speghetti's. Me & Kimmy meanwhile had ordered a mushroom soup, a pasta and a shared 3 pan of pizzas among Sai Kit & Chloe as well as 2 of Sai Kit's friend. We ordered Green Tea as our drinks. (Please see below). The mushroom soup was not so tasty and it was not enough sweet and enough of mushroom taste. For pizzas, it was just fine and pastas was too oily and not recommended to take. Overall the food was just average and not up to my expectations. I would not recommend you to this restaurant if you want real quality of Italian Food. Frankly speaking, Michealangelo (SOHOKL) is much more better than this restaurant and the pricing is almost the same. MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5.


About others, they ordered various food and drinks (please see below). The feedback I get from them is the food was just average and not as tasty as expected. We got some recommendation from our friends and from the blogs saying that this restaurant is worth a try because it's tasty but unfortuntely the food aren't so tasty and great as expected. OTHERS AVERAGE RATING: 3/5.



We left the restaurant at about 11.15pm and head towards the UE3 building near Taman Miharja to catch the glimpse of fireworks display where we can actually get a great view of KLCC, Times Square as well as KL Tower. There are splendid fireworks display after 12 midnight and that's it. We wish everyone Happy New Year 2010.
