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

Posted on by Hani by

Looking through my photos, I realize I never shared my experience at Luciano’s, a charming Italian eatery tucked away in a small back alley just outside Wisma Central, Kuala Lumpur. Known for its authentic Italian pizza, this hidden gem is easy to find despite its unassuming location. I visited last November for a lunch date, and it’s a memory that still brings a smile to my face. 🥰

 

We were lucky.

The restaurant wasn’t too busy during our visit, so we didn’t have to wait long for a table. Luciano’s is often packed, and with only ten tables available, you might face a long queue if you visit during lunch hours. They operate on a first-come, first-served basis and close when they run out of what’s on the menu, so be prepared to try your luck or 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 highlights the chef’s passion for authentic Italian cuisine. We opted for the pepperoni pizza and mushroom pizza—both bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. The square-shaped pizzas were a charming twist, adding to Luciano’s distinct character. Our meal arrived in about 30 to 40 minutes, giving us just enough time to soak in the atmosphere.

One thing I loved is that the pizza base is freshly made daily, with toppings added right when you order. They’re then reheated to maintain the authenticity of Roman-style pizza, perfectly fitting the street food concept. I’m already excited to return and 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 who served us seemed distant and unfriendly. The way she placed the menu on the table felt impolite, and she didn’t smile at the customers, which clashed with the warm, laid-back vibe of the place.

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.
