The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Kota Kinabalu

Located within The Magellan hotel complex, this airy, sea-view restaurant offers a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cuisine is primarily Mediterranean-inspired(mezze, pizza, etc.), but the menu also features more local or fusion dishes. The menu of wood-fired pizzas changes weekly, with recipes influenced by Malaysian cuisine that are sometimes surprising! Good value for money, in a relaxed setting that's very pleasant at sunset.

A little piece of Italy in the middle of Borneo, that's what this tiny restaurant offers, with its open kitchen and a few tables on the waterfront. The tables face the harbor and its fishing boats. The Italian chef concocts generous dishes from his native Grande Botte: spaghetti with seafood, penne with pesto, pizza or the unmissable tiramisu. Everything is freshly prepared to order, so waiting times can be quite long. But the excellent service, the fine Italian wine and the sunset will make you forget this inconvenience.
