The original Bottega, where it all started. We opened here in 2011 inside a former colonial post office on Jalan Ceylon, and this city has been eating with us ever since. Five private dining rooms, a patio that fits 78, and a deli counter stocked with things you won’t find anywhere else in Kuala Lumpur.
Good Food. No Shortcuts.
Our menu celebrates the classics. Fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, imported cheeses, proper Italian cold cuts, and monthly specials inspired by Chef Giuseppe’s family recipes.
No gimmicks. No fusion detours. Just honest Italian food made with ingredients we’re proud to put our name on.
An Italian Home in the City
Behind the deli counter and shelves stacked with Italian favourites, you’ll find five private dining rooms, a covered patio that seats 78, and a restaurant that’s hosted everything from first dates to family feasts and corporate lunches.
It’s relaxed, a little loud, always welcoming, and unapologetically Italian. Exactly how we like it.
In the Heart of Kuala Lumpur
Whether you’re shopping in Bukit Bintang, heading over from Pavilion, entertaining clients near KLCC, or escaping the office for a long lunch, Bottega KL sits right in the middle of the action. For guests looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, we’re the place they discover once and keep coming back to.
