La Risata has been on my radar for a while because they have been nominated several times in the Timeout KL awards. The branch at Medan Damansara is also very convenient for us to get to. Situated right next to Vintry, this place has a lovely ambiance with attentive service staff. They offer a good range of Italian delights to suit everyone's tastes. And once we placed our orders. The bread basket arrives with something that is quintessentially Italian: Olive Tapenade. The Olive Tapenade was mad
Before long, our platter of very impressive starters arrived on our table. Carppaccio di manzo, frittura di calamari, funghi alla griglia & pate di fegatini con crostini
What a sight to behold! The aroma of the sauteed mushrooms and fried calamari rings hit my nose first. But it was that liver pate that attracted my attention straightaway. Indeed. It was rich, creamy with that signature metallic taste I love and paired so well with the garlic crostini (the crostini themselves were tasty enough, I mean, just look at the luscious golden hue!

The beef carppaccio was tender and with a touch of Parmigiano-Reggiano and raw mushrooms, this was an explosion of flavours. I didn’t mind the fried calamari rings, they were cooked well and quite tender. The mushrooms were also lovely with a hint of herbaceous note. Delicious.
