The Risotto Allastice is very flavourful, no doubt a signature dish! The prawn aglio olio is delicious. Pizza is tasty as well; dough and toppings ratio are just right. Staff are very attentive and friendly too. Place is only open for dinners, but if it is open for lunches, I will not hesitate to visit it again.

Lovely place to chill and the waitress did a fantastic job on setting up the mood. Portion were bigger than anticipated, we were pretty full.

If you wish to sit outdoor, you might need to make reservation because most people wish to have outdoor seating too. Well, the food there was just nice. The seafoods were fresh and tasty, and that's enough for me. Just the drinks (mojito and Shirly temple) were normal. Also, the food portions were too small for typical guy like me. We ended up at McDonald just outside the hotel. It was great to have dinner by the beach.

Was planning my proposal for quite some time now. Really cracking my head until I realized I was in Kuantan and had endless supply of beautiful beaches Still wanted the proposal to go on perfectly. Had to be a surprise also. Did some searching and saw the advertisement on Italian Bistro's Romantic Dinner. Msgd Mr Harie and he had been nothing short of helpful, creative and supportive. Was extremely helpful in answering all my questions, doubts and requests. Being a vegetarian, was never that easy to find food everywhere but I am super grateful to the staffs of Italian Bistro to have accomodated my requests apart from other dietary requests. As it was a proposal I wanted something romantic and personal and was offered the outdoor table which really blew my mind. Was a little disappointed as due to the weather (monsoon season) I was given the indoor table. To my surprise however, Mr Harie was still trying to make my special night the best one. He managed to get me the outdoor table when the weather was more kind and smoothly came to me and asked me to check my phone Communicated with him and he managed to find me a short window of about 10minutes where i not only managed to have my desert but I was able to propose to my gf as I initially planned. Staffs were also so supportive with helping to take videos and pictures. As soon as it was done, it started raining. Was perfect, timing was simply perfect. Everyone starting from the booking till the very end was simply perfect and extremely accomodating. Food was good, really enjoyed it. Especially the Primi Piatti. One of the better multicourse meals I have had in Kuantan. Very polite staffs, making me feel right at home. Also extremely grateful to evryone for helping accomodate to my balloon and flower delivery to be arranged at my table. 12/10 Will definitely visit again

The service was excellent. All of the staff were wonderful and being helpful. Thanks to all especially to the Manager, Mr Awang for helping me from beginning til the end even with some minor error, he managed to clear things up. The highlight of the night is the Tiramisu Mascarpone. I literally cried after tasting it.
