Cafe Vina

This café is a quaint little family run café. The owner is usually around, always ready for a friendly chat. The staff all have great relationships with the regular customers. It’s the little personal touches and ability to make the customers feel special that keeps people coming back. They have a whole shelf of books with a wide range of topics, some of which are from their own personal library, that customers can borrow as long as they bring it back.
The restaurant serves great Italian food at reasonable prices. The average price of a main dish won’t cost you more than RM20. It’s a nice place to have birthday parties, or just for a dinner with a bunch of your friends. What I like about Café Vina is that they do update their menu and introduce new dishes every once in a while. Their drinks menu isn’t very extensive, but they do serve the basics like soft drinks, juices and wine too.
They’ve recently introduced to their menu a new type of ice-​cream which is imported from New Zealand. The lemongrass flavoured one is delicious. It has such a unique taste and the lemongrass isn’t overpowering or too sweet. Their roast chicken dish is one of my favorites and the portion is pretty big, so it’s great for when you’re really hungry. They definitely don’t stinge when it comes to the food they serve.

This café signature food is pork ribs, pork knuckle, spaghetti con salmone. Besides than this signature menu, you can also get pizza, western variety, pasta, dessert, etc.
We ordered for watermelon juice which is quite normal — not too watery & ice lemon tea [RM3.50] — the price is super reasonable for drink. We choose mushroom soup with garlic bread for side dish — yummy… the soup is very rich of mushroom taste and creamy enough. While for food, we decided to get carbonara — delicious and have a lot of mushroom in the dish & fish and chips — quite terrible, the fish is over fried and make it difficult to bite.
I will still come again to try other food. Hope it won’t dissapoint me.
