Seafood Marinara Tomato - RM 34 ,Spagethi nicely done with fresh seafoods (clams, big prawns, squid and mussel).Aria is located at Plaza Damansara, Bukit Damansara along the shophouses of Domino's and Public Bank. We reached early at 6.30pm and we saw all tables are fully booked. No wonder we need to make early reservation as this place is small. But i do like their cosy decoration and more over now is Christmas.
Aria has taken over Moxie's location at Plaza Damansara, though it still belongs to the family of outlets that comprise Bangsar's Opus, Cava, Leonardo's & Four Seas. After a little nip and tuck, this two-story location now houses a serene Italian restaurant on the ground floor and a whiskey bar upstairs.
Aria's menu is kinda unadventurous, with nothing that KL hasn't seen before. Nevertheless, that helps it remain true to its promise of offering "traditional Italian dining."
Spaghetti vongole, cooked in Chardonnay with Venus clams. Irreproachably prepared; one of the best versions of this recipe that we've had in Malaysia, thanks to the slick, fabulously flavorsome sauce and the fat, fresh-tasting clams.
A reasonably substantial portion of seafood risotto, with more prawns, squid, mussels & other creatures of the sea packed on this plate compared to rice. Especially recommended if you enjoy tangy tomato flavors. Pasta & risotto prices here are in the regular RM20-30++ range.
Baron Philippe de Rothschild Chardonnay. Available by the glass, carafe & bottle.

The Hawaiian Pizzeta in Aria taste wonderful. The cheese and tomato as the based was a lot. Topped with my favorite ham and pineapple, the ham was soft and tender. The pineapple was sweet like those from the can. Plus there was green pepper, which I don’t really like but since it was so cheesy, the whole pizza was yummy.
We continued our next dish which is the Aglio – Olio Smoke Duck Pasta. The Aglio –olio pasta is being served with slices of smoked duckmeat, garlic, pepperoncino, cherry tomato topped with rocket salad. The smoke duck is well made and the texture is chewy. The most of all is the strong duck meat odor wasn't too overwhelming which is the best of all. It is superb.

The first dish that came out was the Lamb Kebab which was moist enough to fully savor the lamb meat to be taken with Aria's special Spicy Mint Sauce. The Antipasto De La Casa which arrived next though was a huge platter of starter dishes consisting of salmon, beef carpaccio, mushroom bruschetta, marinated portobello, fried calamari and a whole lot more. If it wasn't shared between the bunch of us, I would have been full just after having this dish.
I found the Tonnarelli Di Aria dish really unique, as not many restaurants provide black spaghetti which was really nicely done, infused with squid's ink. Together with the giant scallop meat, tiger prawns, mussels, and mushroom, this dish makes for a delightful seafood meal.
My favourite dish for the night would be this Prime Ribs. Seasoned with spices and salt, and served with a choice of garlic rosemary, black pepper or brown sauce, I just couldn't get enough of it. The meat portion was really large and juicy.
