KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — From the wooden tables on the front terrace to the windows on the top floor, Luce Osteria Contemporanea’s magic lies not only in its warm atmosphere but its truly Italian offerings.
Headed by chef Christian Grandi, expect authentic Italian pizzas made with flour imported from Italy, and cooked using a wood-fired oven to impart a smoky flavor.
A good introduction to Luce’s pizza offerings is the Signature Sole Pizza priced at RM98.
Also known as the Sun Pizza due to its shape, it is topped with Mozarella cheese, tomato sauce, rocket salad, sliced tomatoes and Burrata Pugliese, a fresh light Italian cheese with an unusual soft texture.

The dish features cold cuts of different flavours and textures including Mortadella, Coppa, Salame Napoli, Smoked Speck, Italian Honey Ham and Parma Ham 18 month.
Cold cuts are cured for at least six to 18 months in Italty before they are imported while cheeses used are Asiago, Grana Padano, and Pecorino Sardo 12 months which are imported from different regions in Italy.
Another signature offering is the La Porchetta at RM98, an Italian moist boneless pork roast.
