Why Travelers Love The Loft
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We ordered the loft beef pizza , garlic prawn. The food was delicious , all the staff provided excellent and attentive service, especially Shanta. The environment was so great, chill and the live singer had a beautiful voice that made the whole atmosphere even better! Recommended! We had an amazing night! The pasta/lasagne was so delicious and fresh, the appetizers were also really nice and good portions. There was life music and the staff was so nice that we felt like princesses ☺️🌸 Food here is delicious. We had the Garlic Prawns to start followed by the Lasagne and the Salmon Pasta, all were very good. We also tried the Nutella calzone for dessert which was surprisingly tasty - credit to the chef! Service was extremely good, the best we've had in Malaysia by far. Thank you to Shanta for that! We'd love to come back if we're ever in town again. Thank you!

We came here as a family of 6 looking for some gluten free options and we were not disappointed. The many gluten free pasta sauces on offer that we tried were delicious ( pesto , bolognese and garlic shrimp ). We wished we’d tried the carbonate too. I’m sure it would have been the same quality . My husband’s fire oven pizza was just as he hope and expected . Our kids said it was the best Italian food they’d had in a long time . The prices were half the prices of Singapore restaurants which made us even happier to have such a quality meal together . Shanto , our waiter was so helpful and patient with us . His friendly service topped an already wonderful evening here. The kids are keen to return here to try more gluten pasta. We leave Penang tomorrow so our only regret is not finding this restaurant sooner . Thank you to the Loft team .

This place is cool and clean. Both the pizza and pasta were delicious, and the staff were really friendly! I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a great spot to eat during your trip to Penang.
