From Italy to Malaysia: ilLido KL Revisits Classics with New Chef and New Pork-free Menu

ilLido KL celebrates the Italian culinary heritage with a brand new menu of back-to-basics traditional classics. Helmed by new Executive Chef Andrea Zanella, the revamped menu will also initiate the new identity of ilLido KL as a pork-free restaurant. The complete updated menu will be introduced by 1 August.

Veal takes centre stage on the new menu. Owner and restaurateur Beppe De Vito has successfully sourced for excellent veal meat from a supplier in Italy and is specially importing them. “Veal is so well-used in Italian cuisine. We had pork dishes at the beginning because we couldn’t find good veal here. Now that we do, we’re excited that we can offer the original Veal Milanese, Ossobuco and many more,” says De Vito.

“Moreover, Chef Andrea is known for his veal dishes, which makes us even more confident that our diners will be pleased with the new introductions,” adds De Vito, whose F&B experience has seen him leading many well-known Italian fine dining restaurants in Singapore over the past decade.

“The Italian food culture is so rich and Italian food is much more than what you can find in the current KL restaurant scene. We’ll be featuring new dishes that are Italian classics but are uncommon in KL,” Chef Andrea describes of the menu revamp.
