La Spiga D’Oro

Went 5 minutes before opening, and there was already a queue! The ordering system requires scanning a QR code at the table and order/paying at the counter, which might not be convenient for older people or foreign visitors. They only accept cash and QR payments hope they add a credit card option in the future. The food was fantastic! The bread was freshly baked, and the pesto had an authentic Italian flavor. The coffee was also great, and the service was quick. Overall, a solid experience!

February 2025 Visited in the early morning right after the shop opened. Still managed to grab a seat, and the crowd was manageable. Tried their signature schiacciata. Bombarolo (RM46) – Porchetta di Ariccia (processed pork meat), provola affumicata (Italian cow’s milk smoked cheese), and spicy bell pepper cream with flatbread. It was slightly spicy but totally fine. The sauce provided wasn’t much, so you might only get a mild taste of it. The schiacciata (flatbread) was airy, but if they could offered an herb flatbread option, which would have been great as it might enhance the overall flavor. But they only offer plain flatbread. The processed pork meat portion was quite generous, which likely explains the above-average price. It can be quite filling if you finish the whole thing by yourself. Maranello (RM46) – Mortadella di Bologna (Italian pork sausage), rocket, Parmesan cheese, and truffle cream with flatbread. I didn’t really like the ham-like texture of the pork sausage, as I prefer processed pork meat instead. The truffle cream was barely noticeable due to the small portion, but once again, the pork sausage portion was generous, which seems fair for the price. I wouldn’t recommend to try their coffee 🙊. Overall, the portions were fair, but the flavor balance could be improved with more sauce or seasoning.

Really enjoyed the Il Re. Half was enough for me, so two people with moderate sized appetite can share one sandwich. The bread was delicious—warm with a thin, crispy crust. I’ve been buying their meats and cheeses since MCO. Saw reviews that said it was pricey, but getting good quality imported cured meats and cheeses in Malaysia is not cheap in general. We went at 10.30am and were seated/served quickly. If you are not willing to wait, then avoid the peak hours. Duh.

A flavor explosion! The bread had the perfect balance of crust and fluff, soaking up the balsamic seasoning that complemented the meats and cheese. You have yourselves a loyal customer! Will be back for more soon! As always, great food draws a crowd—so let’s show kindness, patience, and appreciation for the talented food artisans behind it. 👏

Don't bother. The restaurant appears to have positioned itself as a premium sandwich place. The ambience is premium and the prices very very premium (expensive). However the service is terrible and reminded me of a fast food restaurant. There was a long queue to order, the order took a long time to come to the table. No cutlery was laid out on the table. Sandwiches were served on paper, not on plates. Water was self service. Credit card not accepted. Seating was in long table groups, so there was absolutely no privacy given the strangers sitting right next to me. The restaurant has to seriously rethink its positioning... If you want to appear/charge premium, go all the way and provide premium service. Don't just charge premium prices but provide fast food service that is not even fast! Sandwiches were just average. Certainly not worth the RM45 I paid for one sandwich. I would pay RM20 at the most for this. So overall very disappointed and not going back for sure. P/s: After writing this review, I got a reply from you which stated "Hi Joachim. I am sorry you had such a bad experience. I do invite you to make a sandwich with the ingredients we have for RM20" My reply is this: We can disagree on the pricing and that's okay. I'm not in the food biz. But your reply smacks of arrogance! Is this how you respond to honest feedback from your customers? So if someone said they did not like your deco, you would respond by asking them to build their own cafe?? And what about responding to all my other observations? Was there any untruth in them? Or did you prefer to just ignore them? Clearly, you don't want honest feedback. How do you expect to draw customers to your cafe, particularly because many will read your arrogant reply here. For this I have dropped my rating to just 1 star. Best of luck!

Personally i didn’t enjoy the sandwich as much as all the reviews written here, maybe because I ordered the wrong/ cheaper ones. I didn’t experience the bursting of flavours as what was mentioned. The sandwich tasted bland overall with the bread, but on its own the cured meat was tasty, perhaps the balance is abit off. The hefty price charged is definitely for the quality of cured meat as I remember for 100g for good quality cured meat, it usually cost about rm30-35 and above Not sure if I will return again.

Ordered 2 schiacciata, mozzarella and L’atleta, first time having this kind of bread and it was really good but the cured meat is really underwhelming. Price is too expensive in my opinion especially when they charge you an additional 10% service tax for no services at all. Water and cutleries are self serviced. Come early when the shop open at 10:30am, otherwise your experience will be far worse when it’s crowded.

A word of advice to those who plan to visit during weekend or public holiday. The queue is long, and waiting time is long. Queued for over 20 minutes, waited over 1 hour for 4 sandwiches. The staff were not very helpful with the seating, and there were cases of jump queue. Which is very obvious cause everyone flipped 😆 Service have to be better la honestly. And the numbering system. We thought that since they moved from a small shop to a big one they could have catered to a better crowd? I don't know, I'm not a business owner.
