Italiannies at Gurney Paragon, Penang

Buon Giorno! (Good day in Italian) I don't speak Italian but I had Italian cuisines today at Italiannies at Gurney Paragon, Penang.

Italiannies

I had this Italian bread with sauces as appetizer (complimentary from Italiannies), mushroom soup, pasta, pizza and Tiramisu cake as dessert. The service is good as before we step closer to the shop, they already opened the door wide to welcome us. By the time I sat down, the waiter introduced us the sauces which I can't remember the name and the complimentary breads.

Italian breads, the one with black dot tastes nice! Not a wheat but is nice

These sauces are used to dip the breads.

I don't know what are those but nice for dipping the bread

The black one tasted like vinegar and the other one tasted like olive oil but I am not sure what are those actually

Thanks to Ling for sharing the info and experience. The black sauce is Balsamic Vinegar and the other one is Olive oil infused with herbs.

All these are complimentary from Italiannies. Any Italians here? Mind to share with us what are those? Or maybe if anyone has any idea what are those, please feel free to share with us. :)

Then, the mushroom soup. It is creamy and tasted real nice!

Mushroom soup

We ordered mushroom soup and the waiter is good enough to ask if we meant to share it. He recommended us the regular one and he helped us to serve in 2 bowls because it is more worth. The price for the regular is RM14.90 and the size for small one is RM9.90.

The pizza is really a killer! It is huge! And the taste is superb! But with superb, I mean the taste is so authentic as if you are dining in Italy (my own personal opinion). Because normally the local pizza, you will find it to be over-taste, extra cheese, extra this and that just to "boost" the taste. This pizza, fair taste, and not over-boost the taste. You will feel it tasted so-so but at least I feel the real taste of pizza should be the one like this.

Ham and Mushroom Pizza. Full of toppings and nice.

Then, the pasta! Again, we ordered a regular one and it is good for two persons. This pasta is cooked with wines, so you will taste a bit of wine when you eat it.

Again, can't remember the name as it is in Italian

Finally, the cake! Tiramisu cake! But we need to take away the cake as we are too full! So it looked a bit awkward as the cake followed us shopping before we headed home.

Nicely packed in the container

It looked awkward because it was taken away in a container and we shop for 2 hours before heading home

The original presentation of the cake should be nicer if you have them in the restaurant. :)

This was the first time I ate at Italiannies and before this, a lot people told me it is expensive. Comparing with some other shops serving the same thing, yes, it might be. But the food portion is definitely different. In normal shop, regular is good for one adult. But here, regular is good for 2 adults, if you are not a big eater. So, I would say, give it a try and order wisely because you might be surprised by the food portion.
