I never failed to visit this place when I am in town. But overtime, the food seems to be getting salty and bored. But for those first timer and those who just missed having Italian food, this will be a good fix.

Surprisingly you can find quite a good Italian restaurant in Kota Kinabalu. We ordered Pizza and Pasta and soup. Food and drinks was good. Service and quick from the time we ordered. Waiter and friendly. I would tell friends of my eating experience here.

With out doubt the best eatery in Kota Kinabalu, authentic Italian food, served promptly and in order (as in - starters - entre' - mains - desert) Staff very well trained, great knowledge of the products, large portions (go there feeling hungry - save the drinks til after eating) extremely well priced, excellent food quality not much else to say...

I have eaten at more than my share of Italian food restaurants and Little Italy is close to the top. The Spaghetti Carbonara is particularly delicious, but everything I have tried here is great. If you are looking for great Italian food, this is the place

My wife and I went there twice for lunch and we left fully satisfied. The food is authentically Italian and very delicious - one of the best Italian restaurants we've been. The prices are very reasonable. So we highly recommend this restaurant to tourists.

Large restaurant with lovely corner location to sit and whach the worl go by. Lovely air conditioned and huge choice on the menu although do not expect the traditional Italian flavours if you are an Italian food lover or indeed Italian as my partner is! As you would expect everything has a Malaysian twist to it - Very nice at... More

The restaurant was full and we have to queue for 10mins. The services were fantastic, so as the food. Try their home made pasta, one of their famous menu.

We chose to eat at the Little Italy restaurant on the fourth night of our stay and came away disappointed. The bruschetta entree was good, but my wife's salad main course was to say least barely satisfactory. It was supposed to contain ham and crunchy bacon. The ham was not what she was expecting and the salad had no crunch.... More
