Roberto’s: Bangsar's Italian-run osteria is a haven for pizzas till midnight, Tuscan wines & happy hour cocktails
May 27, 2024
Roberto's is perfect for families and friends to come together, with plenty of pleasures to share.
Tagliere e Formaggi (RM128) is a beautiful board of cold cuts and cheeses - a pork-free selection of multiple meats, including beef, veal, turkey and duck, plus regional cheeses.
Roberto’s Fritto Misto (RM72) is a flagship platter - a hearty heap of batter-fried seafood such as fresh squid, oysters, tiger prawns, whitebait, half-shell scallops and cuttlefish, plus zucchini too - addictively crispy, rounded out with a creamy tartar dip.
For something lighter, try the Beef Carpaccio (RM58) - Angus beef, smooth and sumptuous in delicate slices, topped with rocket leaves, shaved Parmigiano Reggiano and streaks of mustard sauce for zing and zip.

Roberto's serve pizzas all the way to midnight daily - for a late-night pizza fix, this is the place, showcasing nearly two dozen varieties of classic and contemporary pizzas. We could sample a different pizza here everyday for three weeks!
The BSC (RM58) is the namesake pizza to represent this Bangsar mall - a triumph of tasty toppings, generously garnished with smoked turkey ham, beef sausage, porcini mushrooms, scamorza cheese, mozzarella and tomato sauce.We're also fans of Roberto's Calzone (RM48), comfortingly hot from the oven, folded with a rich, robust filling of smoked turkey ham, champignon mushrooms and artichokes, luscious with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce.
Main courses span seafood to meat. Seabass al Cartoccio (RM68) conveys the traditional Italian style of baking in a pouch-like parcel to seal in the essence and moistness of the ingredients. This is the ideal way to relish the seabass fillet, parchment-wrapped with black olives, shallots, potatoes and cherry potatoes to combine the potent flavours of ocean and land.
Chicken isn't a cliche here - the kitchen serves a gorgeous Galletto al Forno (RM68), a whole spring chicken, succulently roasted to a golden brown, aromatically glazed in notes of honey and truffles, cushioned with capsicum and eggplant caponata for a balanced ensemble.
Roberto's Panna Cotta (RM24) is house-moulded for silky, melt-in-the-mouth sumptuousness, jazzed up with strawberries, blueberries and passionfruit sauce for ripe, fruity flair.
Happy hours at Roberto's run from 3pm to 7pm everyday - customers can relish three different cocktails (the Bay Breeze, Sunrise Gin and Roberto’s Martini) for a total of RM88, representing spectacular value before sunset.
Alternatively, the Aperol Spritz (RM44) promises the time-honoured potion of Aperol with Prosecco and an orange wedge, transporting us in spirit to the Grand Canal of Venice.
If you're searching for top-tier Italian wines, Roberto's is your destination - its range includes the Brunello di Montalcino, crafted with 100% Sangiovese to earn Italy’s highest DOCG classification, and other Tuscan vintages that represent the country's most revered vineyards.
