It’s not new to have spaghetti every once in a while today. After getting bored of our usual meal of rice and dishes, it's nice to have the tables turned for a meal or two. In Malaysia, apart from McDonald’s and KFC, spaghetti is probably the next most common thing for those who crave something Western (whether American, Italian, French, etc). Through the years since the inception of spaghetti, a lot has changed. From the type of spaghetti, sauces, and even key ingredients used, the spaghetti bolognese we once knew is starting to lose its name. However, fear not as more and more unique and interesting spaghetti is underway. Hence, here is the list of the best Spaghetti you can find in KL!
 

#1 Basil Pasta House

As the name suggests, this place serves mainly pasta and other Italian dishes. Prepared by skilled and experienced chefs, you will get specialized pasta that you can’t find anywhere else. Each dish here is prepared carefully, ensuring the utmost refined taste you can have. One dish for example is the White Truffle Oil Fettuccine which uses only the best ingredients so that you can taste even the slightest flavours. Not forgetting the picture-worthy presentation too. If you’re a fan of pasta, this is one heavenly spot you will not want to miss.

#2 Tedboy 

You not only can get sandwiches here at Tedboy Express but you can also enjoy the dishes from their selection of pasta too.

The springy spaghetti is cooked to al dente and complements well with the sour yet sweet Bolognese sauce and sharp taste of the parmesan cheese - promising you a hearty feeling to each bite.

Here’s another food joint that just screams, “PORK!” Located at Bangsar Village 1, this porky place is spacious and comfortable. Makes you in the mood for a great comforting meal such as creamy pasta. Their signature pasta here is The Wolf’s Favourite. A creamy combination of loads of smoky pork bacon and mushrooms, topped with a perfectly runny poached egg. You know the first step, spear the eggy dome and let it tie the dish together. Everything is perfect except it being a little too dry. If you can’t get enough of meats, order their ribs as well.

#5 Two Sons Bistro

Two Sons Bistro's Spicy Prawn Linguine comes highly recommended. Not only does it have a large prawn, the sauce is done perfectly. The rich seafood essence could be tasted throughout the creamy tomato sauce, providing that rich depth of flavor and aroma to the linguine. Tiger prawns are fresh and plump, not to mention sweet as well. If you're looking for seafood pasta, this is it.

#6 La Risata

La Risata is a gorgeous Italian restaurant that is homely with dim lighting and incredibly sinful food! Established back in 1999, La Risata is one of the best Italian restaurants around. Consistent in their flavoring and cooking, one of the recommended pasta here is their Spaghetti Ala Risata. It’s baked in foil with hearty tomato sauce, full of seafood varieties such as squid, prawns, mussels, and clams. It also has a bit of chili in it, so it gives that extra kick to the tongue. Looking at the ambiance, we have also ranked it as one of the most romantic restaurants around.

#7 ALANNA'S Kitchen 

The secret to a good spaghetti dish lies in the sauce, and Alanna’s Kitchen’s version of spaghetti carbonara certainly hits the spot! The cream sauce is deliciously homemade and the spaghetti is nicely al dente. Unlike those sauces that are just too creamy, the texture of the sauce was laudable too. Another highlight is the usage of imported chicken sausages rather than commercial varieties. Coupled with fried spaghetti sticks and crusty garlic toast, this is one hearty pasta meal worth craving for. A series of cakes and cheesecakes tempt you to end your meal with a sweet note.

#8 Mikey's Original New York Pizza

One of the great things about pasta in Mikey’s New York Pizza is the unique sauces of each dish and of course the name of it as well. One of our favorites would be the “Hot Mama’s” Spicy Bolognese simply because the sauce had that intense depth of flavor. It’s sweet, savory, and fresh and finishes with a tinge of spiciness and kick. The spaghetti too was cooked nicely and comes with a side of garlic toast. Portion-wise, no worries as the serving is quite American-sized. If you unbelievably still have some space left in your belly, don’t miss out on their pizzas.

#9 Jamaica Blue Fine Coffees KL

They are famous for their signature Jamaica blend coffee and a more premium Wallenford blend. They both have their unique characteristics, with the signature blend being more smooth and subtle while the Wallenford was slightly more pungent. Apart from their coffee, they too offer a good selection of pasta. The Smoked Salmon Spaghetti that we had was really good. It was light and appetizing and most of its flavors and saltiness came from the smoked salmon and capers, which was nice as it’s the star of the dish. Good flavor, well-balanced, and fresh!

#10 Anne Elizabeth The Deli Restaurant

Pork and Carbonara is a simple combination, yet a decadence that everyone enjoys. A hodgepodge of ingredients is present here, from meat floss, mushrooms, cheese, and the ever-so-divine bacon. Swirling up pasta onto your fork has never been so seductive. The flavors are well on the balanced side as well, tucked in between a mellow richness and an al-dente texture. Other choices include the salmon and pesto cream as well as the simple combination of mushroom and rocket salad. Apart from the delicious flavors, the portions are laudable too.

#11 Jemi Cafe

Jemi Cafe is your friendly neighborhood-sorta cafe that offers a limited selection of items on its menu. Do not worry as the limitation of dishes is good, as it helps the cafe focus on what's most important. As for their smoked duck aglio-olio, it is done quite nicely with a good amount of garlic, chili flakes, and of course, cut-up smoked duck. The flavors are well-balanced and nothing is overpowering. This plate is worth the try. What better way to wrap up your meal than a cup of cuppa?

#12 Huck’s Cafe

If you would like to experience a different kind of dining experience, how about a private one? Huck’s Cafe is a privately owned home-based restaurant tucked in a quiet neighborhood of Bangsar. Mr Huck Seng is the owner and chef of Huck’s Cafe and the surprising thing is, he wasn’t a trained chef. He self-trains and his food, ingredients and unique recipes are amazing! An amazing main course pasta dish would be the Ocean Deep. It’s a seafood pasta comprising clams, mussels, prawns, and squid with dried shrimp sambal, belacan, santan, and kaffir lime leaves. A very good East-meets-West creation!

Aether Cafe is located in a blissful neighborhood of TTDI. Accompanied by lush greenery and carefully designed interiors, Malaysia brothers Mark & Shaun opt to provide an escape or sanctuary for the office crowd. The food here leans towards the healthier side, without sacrificing the taste of course. Their Vinegar Garlic Pasta is one of the many offerings here. Despite the quirky combination, the dish is rather light, flavourful, colorful, and refreshing. So if you’re bored of the standard carbonara or bolognese, this pasta is one not to be missed.

The Pasta Carbonara at Bookmark Coffee will captivate your palate with a mix of different flavors. Inspired by some Swedish elements, the Carbonara boasts a unique flavor not found in other recipes. Other than the rich and decadent creamy sauce, the pasta is also topped with an egg, fish roe, and bacon bits, and sided with slices of Smoked Duck, it’s the definition of appetizing right here and also justifies that pasta is versatile. Another important point is ordering their freshly brewed coffee that tows along your favorite anime, cartoon, or monument artwork on top.

#16 Brussels Galerie

Brussels's pasta is a unique blend of Asian and Western mix. While for most of it, the pasta has a Western feel to it, such as the sauce base and cooking style, the ingredients however give it a glint of Asian feel to it. The seafood for example uses lala and prawn, which gives it that "fresh from the sea" taste to compliment the already amazing bolognese sauce. The price may be slightly hefty compared to other pasta shops, but it is most certainly an enjoyable unique experience, especially for those who hanker to chug down a few beers along the meal.

#17 Pop’s Eatery

Simple and fresh are words that perfectly describe a meal here at Pop’s Eatery. For pasta admirers, their Spicy Cream Cheese Pasta with Marinated Chicken will tingle your taste buds with spicy sensations and creamy textures. Of course, it’s not just all pasta and sauce doing the work, as the chicken pieces are infused with savory and peppery treats; so it’s double the joy for your palate. It's surely fulfilling enough but if you’re one helluva big eater, do add their signature Cheesy Sauce Fries into your order for optimal satisfaction.
