Bottega Mediterranea @ Bukit Ceylon, KL

Bottega Mediterranea

Located in the heart of city center, this is a small space that housed a no frills Italian café, pizzeria and grocer. I didn’t know about this place until my colleague highlighted it to me, telling me they have the best pizza in the city.

Once entering the premise, you will be warm-welcomed by bottles of imported goods such as olive oil, truffle oil, pickles, pasta sauces, vinegar and many more; they are available for in-store purchases or online orders too! The premise is pretty quaint with limited table settings, so reservation is highly recommended. It was quite a full house even on a Monday lunch.

First thing first. Pop a bottle – Germin Prosecco Millesime (Rm 150)
A bubbly is always a perfect match with everything, including the cheese and meat board too.

Charcuterie (Rm 58)
With a selection of their ham-salami-cheeses; served pickle vegetables and dips.
Oh I love this max! The cold cuts were really good. We were too busy munching and didn’t get their names. One of the cold cuts was very aromatic with a nutty hint, I couldn’t stop munching on that.

Pecaminosa (Rm 38)
Mozzarella tomato Porchetta Pumpkin Buffalo mozzarella marinated Sardines
With pumpkin and marinated sardine. What a combination but they were super match. The pizza dough was very aromatic with light chewiness! So good that we couldn’t stop ourselves munching on it.
