Named for a neighbourhood in Naples, Pudu Lama's new Via Capodimonte is KL's friendly pasticceria, an Italian sweet-and-savoury shop specialising in Neapolitan pastries and pies.
This is the place for sfogliatella riccia, Naples' iconic shell-shaped treat with a crackly sugar-dusted crust and citrusy-creamy ricotta centre - a captivating creation that has endured since the 17th century.
Doughy delights include Neapolitan graffe, the irresistibly, indulgently soft donut of the Italian Carnival.
For warm meals, order the street-food classics of salame-stuffed pagnottiello and panuozzo pizza bread sandwiches lined with prosciutto.
Don't leave the cannoli, crema fritta crunchy deep-fried custard, and chocolate torta caprese, coupled with moka pot coffee.
Via Capodimonte shares its space in a heritage building with the recently relocated Pizzeria Dihyang. The pastry shop currently opens 11am-2pm, Wednesday to Sunday.
