This is a convivial, casual restaurant.\u00a0 When I went on a Sunday night, there were 2 separate groups each celebrating a birthday.\u00a0 The d\u00e9cor is nothing to shout about.\u00a0\u00a0 I love starters, so I ordered 3 starters and a soup.\u00a0 Sauteed clams with white wine and cherry tomatoes RM$26 Pan-fried duck foie gras and caramelised apple rucola and blackberry reduction RM$58 Sauteed tiger prawns with cherry tomatoes, garlic and chilli RM$30 Lentil soup with sliced bresaola RM$26 Sauteed clams with white wine and cherry tomatoes RM$26 The clams are full of sand.\u00a0 I asked the waiter and he said their clams come from Pangkor, an island off Malaysia.\u00a0 I wished they had used Pacific or Atlantic clams&#8212;-would have been cleaner. \u00a0I rubbed my spoon against the bottom of the plate.\u00a0 Oh god!!\u00a0 It was rough with sand. Goes very well with Bianco Cantine Bellosguardo Toscano NV RM$24 (if the clams had been clean). Sauteed tiger prawns with cherry tomatoes, garlic and chilli RM$30 This is quite heavy.\u00a0 It tastes spicy, salty and oily.\u00a0 It feels like an Asian dish.\u00a0 This dish definitely needs re-thinking to be lighter to have a Mediterranean\/ Italian feel. Pan-fried duck foie gras and caramelised apple rucola and blackberry reduction RM$58 OK.\u00a0 Lacks a certain je ne sais quoi to be a star.\u00a0 Feels like it was cooked by a culinary school graduate who as yet lack the inspired flashes of brilliance to propel him\/ her into the top ranks. Lentil soup with sliced bresaola RM$26 The lentils could have been softer, or better still, blended. For my mains, I chose a fish. Pan roasted Atlantic cod with vegetable caponata and orange liquor sauce RM$62 Like the tiger prawns, this feels like an Asian dish.\u00a0 Like the foie gras, it was competently executed but it lacks the inspired brilliance to be truly outstanding.\u00a0 Tatto is headed by a local, non-italian chef and it shows.\u00a0 The dishes have a subtle, but unmistakeable local Asian feel to it.\u00a0 I guess the chef has a lot of homework to do. Unfortunately, as its prices are comparable to other Italian restaurants, for now, there are better options than Tatto.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_0923_tn_tn-300x199.jpg"}
