Restaurant review: NeroVivo
Tried it? Rate it!
M & WS recommended this gem of a restaurant located along Jalan Ceylon some time ago, and we finally decided to give it a try, despite my recovering (but still irritating as hell) sore throat.

I won’t go into much detail about the food because everything was just good, good, good and I’ll run out of synonyms for ‘good’ all too soon! My only regret was that we didn’t have anymore stomach space for dessert, which I really wanted to try! In terms of ambience, the restaurant has a nice, cosy feel, and is rather dimly lit (hence the grainy ISO400 photos!). Parking was abit of a problem though…we had to park along a narrow, steep road located a short distance from the entrance.
Anyways…food piccies!
The bread basket came with two types of bread…a normal white roll with a crust, and a pizza-like flat bread which was extremely tasty:

Mixed salad with sliced mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and olives…the salad was crispy and a nice start to the meal:

Spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino…portions are really generous, and my parents said it tasted really good!:

Linguine vongole with asparagus, cherry tomato in white wine sauce…I assure you, there IS pasta underneath all those clams!
The white wine sauce was yummy, partly due to the sweetness of the clams, I suppose. And unlike those served in many Italian restaurants, the clams were not your usual blink-and-you’ll-miss-it variety…these ones were big enough to taste…*grin*:

Pizza Capricciosa: tomato, mozzarella, turkey ham, artichoke, mushroom…I didn’t try this but it got thumbs up from hubby and my dad:

Photos that weren’t posted coz of shaky hands due to a rumbling, hungry tummy were my parent’s seafood soup and hubby’s roast lamb shank with mashed potatoes, fresh tomato, capsicum and onion sauce…
Looks good? Do give it a try! Just remember to make reservations first coz the place was seriously filling up fast by the time we left, and most of the tables were already reserved to begin with!

Have to go try this place for myself as my friends keep saying Neroteca is better than Nerovivo even though they’re the same owners.

Personally, I felt the pasta was better at Nerovivo vs. Neroteca. Same comment by hubby on the mains…he tried the Sunday brunch at Neroteca, which had sausages and some other meat-stuff for mains…he found some of it quite unpalatable, unfortunately!

LOL, then I guess only way for me is to try it myself. I know I’m not too thrilled abt their sausages as it’s too chewy for my tastes.

If you love Nerovivo, you guys should try Nerofico, their new place in Damansara Heights. I went at the wk, was very cool, lovely food and great atmosphere… the light design is very funky!
