I think it suits the environment of a fine dining restaurant & romantic too as it's situated in Straits Quay! Almost all of the restaurants/ F&B outlets in Straits Quay are pricey, because of the location too. Rich men's area? haha~ Not to exaggerate, but that's what I've been told by my friends who are not staying around that area.... More

We arrived a bit late at 9pm, not much people around. We ordered a soup, appertizer and 2 main course to share. I was a bit disappointed as the quality of the food does not "wow" me at all, just another average Italian restaurant. We also ordered a glass of gin tonic and house white wine, for the price the...

We have eaten at Spasso several times; the food is always fantastic, as is the service. The environment is also good - stylish and comfortable inside and relaxing outside, overlooking the Marina. It's not cheap, but for special occasions its well worth a visit.

I went with a colleague for lunch on a quiet pre-New Year day. The restaurant was empty but service still warm and attentive. The set lunch looked attractive, and did not disappoint. The pasta portion was large but not overwhelming, the pasta was al dente and the sauces reduced. I am glad to see thick sauce. The ricotta was fresh... More

It was the very beginning of 2013 when we dined at Spasso Milano. Countdown, fireworks and live-band were just over. We did not know what to expect from this restaurant as it was our first visit. We were hungry and most restaurants were either closed or full-house. We saw a few empty tables at Spasso. Without hesitation, we took the... More

We were keen to try their pizza as advertised to be a wood fired pizza and very disappointed. It has nothing to shout about, the service is quite slow given that there's not many tables were occupied at that time (8pm+). Yes we should've figured it out by then why there's not many people having dinner there at dinner time!... More

Spasso Milano – Straits Quay, Penang - Italian Cuisine Lovely restaurant, with an “al fresco dining” option which is not bad either! Seating is comfortable, the restaurant is pristine clean, the staff is friendly, professional and helpful. We were made comfortable and handed the menu, which was an interesting one. Lighting was a bit on the dark side although it... More

Spasso Milano brings authentic northern Italian recipes to Penang in al fresco dining by the marina or in cool contemporary indoors. Heading up this feat is the jovial Chef Felice Matinelli from Milano. After running his own successful restaurant in Italy for 15 years before hitting the international circuit with the Maldives and Thailand, he now travels between Penang and... More

I am back in Penang for a few days, so went to try out the pizza at Spasso Milano on Straits Quay. Recommended by a good friend as being a 'superb' pizza. Absolutely true. Hand made, freshly cooked (cool wood fired oven - love the flame) - delicious think crust, baked to perfection. Generous amount of toppinf too - and... More
