RISTORANTE
L'OPERA
As the flagship outlet to the
famous Piccolo Mondo chain of Italian restaurants,
Ristorante L'Opera needs no introduction to the dining
community of Kuala Lumpur. For over 10 years it has
been the choice flavour for Italian cuisine to the
city's 'creme de la creme'.
From a wide selection of wines and cigars to a smorgasbord
of signature seafood, meats and salad dishes, any
true patron of Italian cuisines will rave about the
famous Piccolo Mondo pizza, among other gastronomic
delights at L'Opera. After all, we make sure the ingredients
are from Italy so nothing is left to compromise the
authentic taste of Italian cuisine.
Ask L'Opera's Executive Chef, Derrar. A food connoisseur
of the highest order, Derrar has travelled across
continents, exploring the culinary landscape and suffice
to say, no one knows it better than he does. When
Derrar came to these shores, he brought a part of
Italy to L'Opera.
On fine cuisine, he speaks with utter passion. His
take on L'Opera's authentic menu? - "This is
the little Italy of Italy".
Restorante L'Opera has five distinctive boutique pockets
of dining areas:
|
The
Pizza Bar - The Baker's Den
|
| |
Here,
the charming ambience of L'Opera flows seamlessly
into the Pizza Bar. The open kitchen is today's
contemporary interpretation of the classic brick-wall
baking oven of old style Italy. Walking past
it, the aroma of freshly baked pizzas is unmistakeable,
almost heavenly, from a tantalising mix of fresh
ingredients. From the wood fire pizza oven,
the interior opens up to a quaint dining area
decked with tall French windows framed in Lily
White. Through the yawning windows, the world
of Bintang Walk rushes by, obvious to the casual
dining experience taking place within. |

The
Pasta Bar - The Living Art of Pasta, In
The Face |
| |
The
main section of the restaurant, the Pasta Bar
exudes an exciting atmosphere for the young
and trendy with a passion of pasta. You'll be
swamped by variety while perusing the menu.
Dine and be entertained by the showcase open
kitchen where chefs eagerly prepare your meal
before your very eyes! |

The Deli Bar - Food
For Thought |
| |
For a quick bite or light
servings for business discussions, this elegant
lounge provides the perfect corner. Indulge
in a variety of sandwiches, salads and fruit
juices or even just coffee if you like. Here,
you can catch a short reprieve from an all day
shopping spree or clinch that million dollar
deal. Either way the cushy imported sofas will
tuck you in quite comfortably.
The hotel is equipped with free high speed WIFI
access for your convenience so you can surf
the Internet at your own leisure, at the Deli
Bar, or anywhere in the building. |

|
The Patio - Open For
Conversation |
| |
Overlooking
the driveway into Piccolo Hotel is The Patio.
It offers a mellowed dining concept for after
dinner chit chats over cigars and brandy. A
casual setting made for casual conversation,
this is the place to wind down for the day. |

|
|
The Island |
| |
The Island
is where the Piccolo Mondo dining experience
takes to the city street. If outdoor tasting
tickles your fancy, the Island offers an inviting
'dining pedestal', an elevated terrace literally
by the pavement of the city's carnival street,
Bintang Walk. In the midst of the colourful
vibes emanating from the city's glitz and glamour,
this is an alfresco dining concept with a vantage
point to experience life in the city. |
| |
|
CLIQUE LOUNGE
BAR
As with all
things created from the seeds of passion, its
interior, with an obvious rotunda concept from
layout to bar stool, beckons the free spirited
and the untamed heart. The island bar at the
entrance makes a thankful reprieve from the
sunbaked sidewalks of the city. Come night,
it is a haven of sorts. Amble over to the dimly
lit lounge area and be greeted by plush pillowed
seats. The seductive ambiance is amplified by
the fabric paneled walls drenched in crimson
red. With hour by hour music selection, the
drinks never stop till you say so.
While you're at it, may as well add a touch
of Italian delight. Indulge in a selection of
irresistible tapas affectionately known as 'mozziki',
meaning 'little bite'. But you will be quick
to agree there is nothing little about 'mozziki'
once you sink your teeth in... assolutamente
fantastico!
