Filipó is here for all your Italian-Japanese comfort food needs. Everything from its decor to its tableware sits perfectly at the intersection of casual and elevated. Its menu is dotted with everything you’d crave for a relaxed meal with a touch of sophistication. We’re loving the sound of its scallops with kombu butter, Wagyu lasagna al forno, as well as the truffle fondue tortellini with Wagyu tallow and duck bacon. Anyone who can’t say no to a steak also shouldn’t miss out on its selection of Australian Wagyu, all served with your choice of sides and a sauce.

Boring nights are no more with Phuck’s return. Situated above Damansara Utama’s Chicken & Beer, the social bar has cocktails on tap to get you tipsy and a bunch of video games to keep you entertained.
