This restaurant is definitely on the pricey side, but the food does not disappoint. The brick oven pizza is incredible – the crust is fluffy and crunchy, and they do not skimp on the cheese. This is REAL PIZZA!
For dessert, we absolutely raved over the mixed berries sherbet that was so refressing and the strawberry gelato which was so creamy. Wow! I might just go back for the dessert alone!
It is a family friendly restaurant, and seating is available inside and outside. Kids would really enjoy watching the pizza making process: molding the dough, tossing it and cooking it in the oven.
AUTHENTIC Italian food without traveling to Italy!!!
No time to fly to Italy? No problem. Da Zio Francesco guarantees your craving for Italian food is happily satisfied.
Like every Italian Mama/Nonna, Chef Patricia (She is origin from Tuscany, Italy) will shop for the freshest ingredients every day. You can expect crunchy fresh salad. Seafood just out from the sea. Best quality meat with perfect cuts. Homemade pasta. Every dish, is passionately prepared and cooked for you. Not forgetting good italian wine. In my humble opinion, this is already a WIN! At any time, i would dine here than any Michelin-starred restaurants. Food is love from home – simple.
Cosy ambience. Comfortable homey space. Great ventilation. High standard of cleanliness. Warm hospitality as how it should be. Da Zio Fancesco is a GEM! Go and say hi to Chef Patricia and Zio Francesco. You will thank me later – haha~
A very authentic and decent italian restaurant here in Iskandar area. Amazing taste and service. Especially their pappardelle & tiramisu. Everything taste fresh. Even my picky eater children love their calamari and pastas. Definitely taste like 5 stars!
What an amazing gastronomical experience this is!!
I can’t even begin to express how happy I am to have such an amazing, exquisite proper Italian ?? restaurant in this area.
The chef is Italian, executive chef who has spent >12 years abroad to bring the home taste of Italy to the southern state of Johor.
Fresh pasta rolled out of the kitchen upon order, patrons to the place would expect to settle down, cup a glass of wine and engage in a conversation with your partner. Before you know it, you’ll be drawn towards the culinary experience to indulge in.
The attentive server will take some time but to attend to you, however once your meals are in service – you will be served promptly and exceptionally.
At the end of the day, finish up with some selection of desert. Everything is made from the heart, and you will certainly leave the place thinking about your next visit.
Superb food and hospitality. The chef gave us a complimentary dessert for my dad’s birthday which was very kind of them!! Their tiramisu and chocolate lava cake were fantastic. Would definitely recommend!
We ordered different pasta dishes dishes. We were serve complimentary bruschetta for starter while we were waiting for our appetizers which was highly appreciated (thanks). I really liked the pappardeli di spadino which were more flavourful than the lasagna and the bolognese. I recommend you try this dish if you like creamy mushroom sauce.
