Ro Sma Rino Italian Restaurant, Johor Bahru

December 22nd, 2009 admin

Besides the common Asian fares (like Bak Kut Teh, Dim Sum etc..) you can find in Johor Bahru, there is a little restaurant that you should pay a visit if you want a gastronomic change.

Ro Sma Rino is a restaurant run by an Italian and his wife. Located at No 123, Jalan Damai, Taman Sri Setia, Johor Bahru, Johor 80300, it is within 5 minutes drive from the Johor Bahru CIQ (U-Turn after exiting the Johor Bahru custom, look out for a slip road to Jalan Damai).

The exterior of the restaurant does not look fanciful but once inside, the restaurant is nicely decorated with a cosy feel. The lighting is a little dim but gives you a feeling that you are really in an “Ang-Mo” restaurant. There are usually just a handful of staffs and the lady boss will personally attend to you.

There is a variety of food you can select, from pasta to risotto, Pesce (fish), Carne (meat) and a small selection of red wine. Quality of the food is great – the pizza are thin crusted and baked on the spot. Main courses are prepared with attention to details and presentation. See some of the photos below:

It cost about RM$20-RM$30 for a pizza and RM$35-RM$50 for the main course. Not exactly the cheapest food hunt in Johor Bahru but still much cheaper compared to what you will pay in Singapore for the same quality of food. It is also a good place to bring your special one to for special occasions.

During the evening, you can see many Japaneses and “Ang Mos” coming for a meal and due to the small number of seatings, it would be prudent to call and make a reservation in advance. For smokers, note that the restaurant offers both a smoking and non-smoking area – you can puff away with a cigarette in one hand while holding a slice of pizza in another.
