We booked at Marini's on 57 because we had heard it was the best Italian food in Kuala Lumpur. Boy, were we disappointed. The view was spectacular and we were lucky to have a window seat at sunset. We order the tasting menu which sounded interesting. We were quite let down by the food, which was served in a variety of creative and beautiful ways, but which just did not impress taste- and preparation-wise. The courses also took absolute ages to come. We often order tasting menus at first-class restaurants and this sadly did not measure up at all in terms of technique, taste or timing. To add insult to injury it was also rather expensive and not value for money at all. If you're interested in first class food, try somewhere else.
