The Best Pasta Spots in Klang Valley

1. Basil Pasta House
Basil Pasta House is like that one thing so addictive you simply can’t get enough of. Being one of the places offering the best Aglio Olio in KL, it uses fresh ingredients to create pasta that looks and tastes incredible, with generous portions. This casual neighbourhood joint provides plenty of pasta menu items, but the one people are raving about is the Spaghetti Aglio Olio. Rich with flavour, you can even request extra spaghetti free of charge. We recommend pairing it with Wild Mushroom Soup for a more enjoyable dining experience. Do take note that this Italian restaurant is non-halal.

Proud to serve daily handmade pasta in KL, Back Alley Pasta is without a doubt the people’s favourite. Literally situated in a back alley, we like how this pasta spot makes us feel like we’re entering a secret place with its unique location. Our all-time favourite, you ask? Definitely the Squid Ink Tagliolini Carbonara served with smoked bacon and a soft-boiled egg, with just the right amount of creaminess and seasoning. Oh, and the serving is rather generous, making this feel-at-home restaurant a great option for small group dining. Just a heads-up, you can only dine in for one hour and a half due to its small dining area.

Some of the menu items that will make you lick the plate for every last drop are Squid Ink Pasta and Truffle Lasagne. These pasta dishes possess a symphony of flavours that will have you savouring every bite. Also known for its wood-fired pizzas, the Carbonara Pizza is like biting into pizza but with a twist of carbonara — it’s like pizza and pasta all together.

8. Vary Pasta
Sure, Vary Pasta may look unassuming at first sight with its simple interior design, but we can attest that there is more than meets the eye in this quaint restaurant. The classic atmosphere hasn’t changed even after more than a decade; it captures a sense of nostalgia, like you are walking onto a set from an 80s movie. Priced decently, the pasta menu is categorised by its types of sauces: garlic sauce, tomato sauce, and creamy & cheese. We believe this will make it easier for customers to choose the sauce they enjoy with their al dente pasta meal. Get a taste of the Carbonara or Penne Arrabbiata for a satisfying meal, paired with creamy Mushroom Soup.
