Had An Amazing Pizza Date At Luciano’s,Kuala Lumpur.

Posted on by wanderhoney by

Looking through my photos, I realise I never shared about this amazing Italian eatery, Luciano’s. Tucked away in a small back alley just outside Wisma Central, Kuala Lumpur, this small eatery is well-known for its authentic Italian pizza. Despite its unassuming location, it’s quite easy to find and access. I visited this eatery last November for a lunch date, and it remains a delightful memory that still makes me smile.  🥰

 

We were lucky.

We didn’t have to wait long for our table during our visit because the restaurant wasn’t busy. We went straight to the counter to order our pizzas. Luciano’s is usually packed with customers and often has a long queue, which can be challenging since they only have 10 tables and it gets bustling during lunch. If they’re sold out by a certain time, you’re out of luck. Luciano’s operates on a first-come, first-served basis and closes when they run out of what’s on the menu, so you might need to come back another time.

There are other choices on the menu.

The menu, though limited, offers a delightful selection of pizzas and fresh pasta that highlight the chef’s passion for authentic Italian cuisine. We chose a pepperoni pizza and a mushroom pizza, both bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. What stood out were the square-shaped pizzas, a unique twist that adds to the charm of Luciano’s. Our meal arrived in about 30 to 40 minutes.

The pizza base is freshly made every day, with toppings added once you order, then reheated to maintain the Roman-style pizza’s authenticity, perfectly fitting their Italian street food concept. Everything is made fresh to order, and I’m already looking forward to returning to try their pasta!

 

The staff needs a lot of improvement.

While I don’t remember much about the lady at the counter, I appreciated seeing the chef working diligently in the kitchen. Despite being busy, he looked up to acknowledge us as we walked by. I smiled back at him, and he seemed friendly. However, the waitress left much to be desired. She appeared unfriendly, and the way she placed the menu on the table was impolite. She didn’t even smile at the customers. My first impression of her was that she was rude, which stood in stark contrast to the warm atmosphere set by the chef.

It has a laid-back atmosphere.

Luciano’s has a laid-back atmosphere with its simple décor, perfectly capturing the essence of street food. The aroma of freshly baked pizza fills the air, creating a bustling environment that made our early dating days unforgettable. This hidden gem brings back memories of laughter, connection, and a shared love for great food. I look forward to returning. If you’re in Kuala Lumpur and craving authentic Italian street food, Luciano’s is worth a visit.
