lunch@pizzeria bella italia, SS12 subang jaya

I finally got around to trying this Italian restaurant in SS12 which was recommended by Evelyn.
its so near my house but yet, we never dine in here before..
we (my mum, sis and i) were on the way back from seremban and decided to have lunch before going home. so my brilliant sis suggested this place cos i did keep mentioning it. hehe :P

Pizzeria Bella Italia
14, Jalan SS12/1B
Subang jaya
opening hours: 11.30am to 3pm and 6pm to 1030pm

(its opposite SJMC/Sheraton Subang, the same row as 7eleven. this shop is at the end of the row)

the deco and interior is very cozy and classic. with dim lights, wooden chairs and tables draped in table cloth, little trinkets and paintings all over.

i see grapes, aubergines, cauliflower dangling from the ceiling :P


the spaghetti prima vera

and since it was noon, we decided to order the set lunch. priced from rm9.90++ you get a main meal, soup of choice (minestrone or cream of mushroom), a soft drink (pepsi/coke)
the price varies depending on the main meal you select... very worth it:)

the menu is very varied with many kinds of pasta, pizza, risotto and other western food.

i ordered the set meal with spaghetti prima vera. its basically pasta with vegetables ans mushrooms in a creamy tomato sauce. well, its the first time I've tasted cream based tomato sauce, and this dish did not disappoint me! its not too cheesy (not that i mind it being otherwise) and very flavourful. creamy and absolutely satisfying.

my sis went for the classic spaghetti cos from the description (spaghetti cooked with garlic and olive oil) it sounded abit like aglio olio. but its something quite different. it was served with real chili (which she claims is not hot!) olives and garlic. quite a unique thing :) not bad, but i prefer my dish...

the classic spaghetti

our side order, garlic bread (rm5.80)for mummy cos she "wasn't so hungry" (it actually comes in 5 pieces, the first piece was grabbed off its plate before i could snap a photo)

it was really good and topped up generously with garlic and butter. crispy and yummy
and this is the STAR of the day. Cream of mushroom soup. i know it doesn't look too appetising but this is the perfect example of "don't judge a book by its cover" its made of REAL mushroom and not from a packet. its creamy and you can actually taste the mushrooms. one of the best mushroom soup I've ever tasted. two thumbs up!!


last but not least, the tiramisu! (rm9.00) slightly different from the one at italiannes, this one does not have a strong liquor taste. its sponge cake layered with ice cream. its quite good, with a combination of chocolate and coffee taste..

this pizzeria is run by real Italian people..so the food was authentic. definitely worth another visit, probably to try the other food.

I strongly agree.. the soup is AAA+.. and for our experience, the food plus the service was satisfactorily.
