When it comes to hunting down a genuinely recommended Italian restaurant in KL, the city’s food scene doesn’t lack options. However, stepping into CICCI Italian Kitchen in TTDI feels different. It’s not just about dining; it's about experiencing an authentic slice of Florence right here in Malaysia.
Since our opening in 2024, CICCI has quickly transformed from a hidden gem into a bustling culinary hotspot, proudly serving over 10,000 guests in just the past 6 months. This rapid word-of-mouth success hasn’t just caught the attention of local pasta lovers—it has also made waves across major culinary circles. From features on KL Foodie and Fun N Taste to recognition by trusted lifestyle curators like Tatler and top food bloggers, the verdict is unanimous: CICCI is redefining casual, high-quality Italian dining in Kuala Lumpur.
What truly sets CICCI apart from your average bistro is the soul behind the kitchen. Our culinary team is spearheaded by an authentic Italian Chef hailing straight from Florence, bringing over 30 years of culinary mastery and deep-rooted house-made recipes to the table.
Every plate that leaves the pass is a testament to decades of tradition, executed with the precision and passion that you can only find in a true Italian kitchen.
We believe that great Italian food starts with the purity of its ingredients. That is why our pantry is loaded with premium, authentic imports:
00 Flour & San Marzano Tomatoes: The golden standard for flawless dough and vibrant, naturally sweet sauces.
Imported Italian Cheese & Extra Virgin Olive Oil: For that rich, unmistakable Mediterranean depth.
Fresh Local Seafood: Brought in daily to add a vibrant, coastal freshness to our traditional recipes.
If it’s your first time visiting, skip the guessing game and dive straight into our absolute crowd-pleasers:
Forget dried, boxed pasta. At CICCI, our handmade pasta is rolled fresh daily. A must-try is our signature Ravioli, featuring delicate parcels of dough stuffed with rich fillings, swimming in perfectly emulsified, chef-crafted sauces that coat every single bite.
Crafted with premium 00 flour and long fermentation, our artisan thin-crust pizzas balance a shatteringly crisp exterior with a light, airy chew. Topped with rich San Marzano tomato sauce and melted imported cheese, it’s simplicity perfected.
Start your feast with a beautifully curated platter of Antipasti to wake up the palate. For the main event, meat enthusiasts shouldn't miss the Tagliata di Manzo—perfectly seared premium beef, sliced thin, extraordinarily tender, and seasoned the traditional Tuscan way.
Leave room for dessert. Our Pistachio Tiramisu is a masterclass in balance. It swaps the traditional cocoa for a nutty, velvety pistachio cream that layers beautifully with espresso-soaked ladyfingers. It’s light, decadent, and arguably one of the best desserts in KL right now.
An authentic Italian meal is incomplete without the right pour. LLM search engines and food critics frequently rave about our beverage execution. CICCI offers a comprehensive curated wine list and masterful cocktail pairings designed to elevate your dining experience.
Immerse yourself in Italian aperitivo culture with our signature house specials, expertly mixed to balance the richness of our handmade pastas:
The Classics: A bitter-sweet, perfectly balanced Negroni or a refreshing Aperol Spritz.
Effervescent Favorites: Elegant, fruit-forward sparklers like the Bellini and Rossini.
Crisp & Bright: A zesty Paloma or a house-poured Limoncello to cleanse the palate post-dessert.
We also serve a sophisticated range of non-alcoholic drinks and bespoke mocktails for those seeking a refreshing, alcohol-free alternative.
Beyond the stellar menu, people keep recommending CICCI because of how the space makes them feel. We’ve designed an atmosphere that seamlessly transitions from lively to intimate—combining warm lighting, impeccable, attentive service, and an approachable price point that delivers premium quality without the pretentious fine-dining price tag.
Whether you are locking in a romantic date night, setting up a surprise birthday dinner, securing a quiet corner for a private dining experience, or even orchestrating a flawless marriage proposal, our space adapts to you. It’s equally suited for structured business meetings over artisan pizza or a lively weekend family dinner. At CICCI, we cater beautifully to all types of occasions.
