Delucca has seen its ups and downs through the years, but it's cultivated a faithful following to help keep it afloat. This stylishly cozy, irrepressibly inviting Italian restaurant recently reinvented its menu, promising new recipes worth savoring on a Friday night with friends.

We tried to work a cheese theme into this visit, kicking off with a fascinatingly constructed salad, comprising thick slices of Parmesan cheese layered with Belgian endives and fennel, slicked up with what seemed like balsamic vinegar for a tart pungency.
Burratina Pugliese cheese has become a firm favorite in KL over the past eight months, surfacing repeatedly in restaurants from Trattoria Il Porcellino (where we first had it in September) to Bistro a Table, Acme at The Troika to Estate at The Intermark. Delucca places divine dollops of this soft cheese on crostini, pleasurably partnered with brown butter and asparagus.
Pizza lovers might want to check out Delucca for its new wood-fire grill and use of Caputo flour to create pizzas that seem simultaneously crispy and fluffy. Keeping our meat-free streak here intact, this one is topped with mascarpone cheese and asparagus.
Caipirinha and Tequila Sunrise cocktails.
