This trendy inner-city bungalow boasts authentic Italian dishes, many of which are prepared in an open-air pizza oven. Guests can dine inside with air conditioning, alfresco with views of Menara KL or enjoy an aperitif at the bar. The owner and host orchestrates the evening with great gusto to ensure everyone is content upon leaving.
The menu features creative cuisine and regional specialities, various pastas with traditional sauces, and meat and fish mains. Meat dishes are based upon northern Italian recipes, while the seafood leans to Sicilian cooking styles. Try dishes like bistecca florentia and chocolate flan to appreciate the skill of the kitchen staff.
Though its on-street façade is sleek and elegant, Nerovivo is actually a humble, friendly trattoria in the very best Italian tradition. It is located in a refurbished colonial bungalow in the peaceful privacy of Ceylon Hill. Inside, a lively and passionately Italian atmosphere prevails. Offering authentic homemade pasta, hearty main courses, delectable desserts and smoky, wood-fired pizza, Nerovivo is the brainchild of restaurateur Paolo Guiati.
On top of the innovative menu and aweinspiring wine list, he has created a pleasant atmosphere of genuine relaxation in which guests are not afraid to raise their voices, laugh and chatter to their hearts’ content, the Italian way.
As you step into Nero Vivo (literally ‘black live’), you might probably first observe the paintings on the wall, or perhaps the Italian gourmet products on display, but the centre of attraction must be the ocean of wine bottles neatly displayed on racks from floor to ceiling. Nero Vivo imports its own wines, among them some labels not available anywhere else in Malaysia.
Currently, the restaurant boasts about 12,000 bottles and some 150 labels, sourced from various regions all over Italy. And like all Italians, Executive Chef Riccardo Ferrarotti is extremely proud of the cuisine served here. "Simplicity is part of our culture. There’s a big variety, but the food is simple and uncomplicated."

We import meats and cheeses from Italy every week. Nerofico in Damansara Heights, combines trademark Nero Italian food with music - it is now one of the city's best live jazz venues.
Towards the end of 2010, management of the Nero Group was moved to The Island Group Hospitality Ltd., a Hong Kong-based hospitality management company with extensive experience in restaurant and hospitality leadership.The Nero Group continues to thrive, and with its passion for excellent food and wine and dedication to providing a remarkable dining experience, remains a dynamic force on the KL restaurant scene.
