I have been a fan for many years now. The food, service and ambiance are very nice. Everything I have tried in the menu has never failed to impress me (especially their salmon ravioli, it's to die for). I even celebrated my last birthday here and everyone couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was. It is definitely on the pricier side but it is worth every penny! Highly recommended!
A good Italian restaurant that has the romantic vibe. Definitely a place for date night or celebration during dinner although we came here just for a normal lunch. Do remember to make reservations for dinner time as they are really packed during the evening. Risotto is well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The pizzas here are really good as well from the crust to the toppings. Food here feels pretty authentic. Price is a little on the higher side but it is worth it. Parking might be an issue so good luck.
My family treats La Risata like an extension of out home - nearly every birthday or anniversary gets faithfully celebrated here. Ambience wise it's cozy and always welcoming - the menu offers a range of Italian dishes, from the familiar (spaghetti carbonara) to the more exotic (seafood gnocchi). Alas, I've noticed there's been a noticeable decline in quality of food. Or maybe I'm just jaded because it's starting to seem like every new place does pasta and pizza better. ;(
La Risata is my favorite Italian restaurant simply because its authentic and like no other Italian restaurant i've ever tried. The pasta's here are all amazingly delicious and the pizza's are the best! This restaurant is only 15 minutes from my home so i go pretty regularly and have never been disappointed so far. Parking is a pain here cause there are not many spots available, usually you have to park pretty ar and walk down. On weekends you wanna make reservations early cause they are always a full house and you would regret walking in. The best pasta here is the poached lobster tomato sauce pasta, yes i cant remember the name. The carbonara is good too and the cheese and spinach gnocchi. I dont usually like gnocchi but this really blew me away (i went back three days later for more!). It is slightly expensive this place but trust me its wort every cent.
La Risata is a nice Italian place that is great for a romantic dinner or casual lunch. There is some very nice outdoor seating that is great in the evenings. The menu at La Risata has a pretty standard Italian selection. Pizzas, pasta, some nice mains and good appetizers. My favorite thing to get is the pesto and prawn gamberi. It is spectacular. The pesto is just right and they always include TONS of prawns, perfectly shelled before cooking so they are ready to just pop in your mouth. Delicious! La Risata is not a bad place to have some food and a glass of wine. Chilling outside when the weather is nice is great on this little street.
La Risata is a household name for Italian food. My boyfriend and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary in this lovely restaurant. According to my friends, this restaurant is the ideal place for you to dine in with your love one. I cannot agree more with that statement. Since there are 2 branches, patrons living in Petaling Jaya can visit the Damansara branch while KL-lites will be able to patronize the Ampang branch. Reservation is made easily (maybe I was lucky because there weren't many people in the restaurant at that time). I called up at 7pm to book for a 7.30pm reservation (so much win!). Upon arriving, we were greeted with sincere smiles where waiters were kind enough to accommodate us where they led us to our sits and passed us the menu. On the first look on the food menu (your heart will jump a little but then when you sit back, you will realize that it is Italian food after all). La Risata didn't disappoint us at all as their food was super delicious! We had pizza, pasta and mocktail. All I can say is that I don't mind paying more for the food that was served. In addition, you will find that the ambience of this restaurant is very soothing, and lively. Especially birthdays when the restaurant lights will be off, and the workers will be singing a birthday song for the birthday girl or boy. It is pretty exciting. There was ample parking (we parked right in front of the restaurant). In summary, this Italian restaurant is a must-go! I definitely will visit again (even if there are no celebrations).
