Never gonna expect that there is a very cute Italian cafe here in Perlis. Although not 100% Italian, but still their food is excellent. Their drinks and desert are also good. But unfortunately there are only three tables available. But most of the customers who came here would take away their meal. Great experience!

I would say this is a hidden gem in Perlis. Love their concept of self service. The food are nice and the prices are reasonable. Unlike another fancy western restaurants in Perlis, this restaurant makes you feel calm and comfortable. I personally would recommend to visit this restaurant 9:30pm onwards if you want to dine in, because the shop locates at the roadside, if you go after 9:30pm, the car is less and the dinner will be more enjoyable.
