Emilio Cibo E Vino @ Glo Damansara, KL
Emilio Cibo E Vino
Nestled in the Glo Damansara mall, Emilio Cibo E Vino brings the vibrant flavours of Sicily straight from chef-owner Emilio Broso’s hometown—to your plate.
The menu may look simple, but very comprehensive; offering a series of classic Sicilian’s delights from starter to mains as well as desserts. Sometimes, they also have some off menu items so be sure to ask the friendly staffs or chef himself (if he is around). Despite the artisanal approach (fresh dough and quality ingredients), the dishes here are priced very affordably as compared to the other Italian places in KL.
I really love everything here on my first visit. So I decided to take my whole family here for a feast!
Velapazza Passerina Terre Di Chieti 2022 IGP (RM 195)
Or bring your bottles but corkage is at RM 50 per bottle.
Moretti (RM 28)
Rosemary Sea Salt Focaccia Bread (RM 15)
Thin, crusty, fragrant. Very aromatic bread basically goes great with all the appetizer we had! It was extremely addictive that I could polish all by myself!
Caponata (RM 28) signature
Eggplant, zucchini, capsicum, onions, celery, green olives, sweet and sour tomato sauce
A classic Sicilian dish, also Emilio’s signature dish that comes with a rich balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors! I am a big fan of eggplant and I super love this dish! It was very refreshing and absolutely a great appetizer before the main! Extremely great to pair with the aromatic focaccia bread.
Zuppa Di Cozze E Vongole (RM 49)
Australian live mussels and clam stew, garlic, chili, tomato sauce, parsley and served with bread. The broth was so good and we polished clean with the bread and more focaccia bread!
Arancini Al Nero Di Seppia (RM 32)
Crumbed rice balls with cuttlefish, black ink, zucchini, served with parsley mayo.
A Sicilian delicacy appears to be in striking black, beautifully crumbed with moist center. It was rich in flavours. I would say, quite umami.
Caprese Siciliana (RM 36)
Straciatella cheese, pistachio pesto, baby tomato, lemon zest salad. An inviting and very refreshing starter.
Frittura (RM 42)
Fried squid, prawns, baby crabs, served with black ink mayo and lemon wedges. We had two orders that day, enjoyed this dish along with white wine! So addictive!
If you are here in a smaller group or even two pax, but wish to try out the all the signature starters Emilio offers, they can customize each and every bits for you into a platter! This was during my first visit and we requested for 3 pax portion and we got to try all and everything from the starters!
Siciliana Signature Pizza
Tomato sauce, mozzarella, eggplant, cherry tomato, smoked sheep’s milk ricotta.
A must must must order! This signature pizza was smoky, rustic, crusty and very aromatic wood-fired pizza! We couldn’t stop ourselves chewing on it. Tooo good! Remember to order this signature pizza when you are here!
Drizzle it with the chili oil for an extra kick to our pizza.
Tonno (RM 36)
Tuna, onion, capers, mozzarella.
We found this tuna pizza was just ordinary; still their signature Siciliana Pizza tastes best! The smokiness of that Siciliana Pizza imprinted in our minds and palates.
Tartufo (RM 49)
Paccheri pasta, truffle cream sauce, poached egg, parmigiano, truffle oil
Another must order! Paccheri pasta was coated in creamy truffle sauce with a perfectly poached egg—fragrant and indulgent.
The staff will mix it up for you once it is served on your table. That aroma of truffle was soooo good as he mixing it up!
Gnocchi (RM 30)
Potato Gnocchi, butter, Sage, Raisins, Grana Padano
Soft chewy potato gnocchi dressed in lots of aroma. A great dish for sharing.
Polpo (RM 36)
Cavatelli pasta, octopus, capers, black olives, mint, aromatic bread crumbs. The pasta hold so much flavours from the condiments that cooked together! Such a flavourful and aromatic dish!
An off menu pasta but I didn’t manage to catch its name.
Sicilian Lemon Tart (RM 21)
Pistachio Tiramisu (RM 28)
