LUCE, Kuala Lumpur

Luce Osteria Contemporanea is a cozy Italian eatery located along the charming heritage shoplot of Lorong Raja Chulan with the stunning KL Tower view. The food was on par!

Upon entry, one cannot help but notice the oven. Stacks of takeaway boxes lined the counter. Pizza is surely a favourite on the menu and I sampled a slice. It was authentic, thin crust with fresh topping sauce.

I explored the eatery- climbed up the narrow spiral wooden staircase, the orange hue wall radiant, passed by the bar area upstairs and welcomed a balcony setting, before settling in a table downstairs near the window. I was there just as the door opened for the day's business. Soon, more tables were occupied while maintaining distance apart. A glass of Dirupo accompanied the meal, catching up with friend.

Cold cuts delight. The Prosciutto and Mortadella with pistachio were good picks in the mix. Thin and light, enough to kick start appetite.

My main of well seasoned fish loin. The grouper meat was chunky flakes, juicy. The Mediterranean sauce was a gentle touch. A bed of asparagus added crunch to the plate. The mashed potato was smooth but relatively lacked flavour.

Cute little homemade Cannoncini filled with cheese and chocolate crumble for dessert.

Coupled with friendly chef and waiter/tress, it was a pleasant lunch session. I can easily see this eatery as a casual fun dining place for family/friend gatherings. Perhaps the next time, i will try more from the pizza list.
