  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 — Francobolli, a pasta haven situated in the trendy Wisma Cosway enclave in Kuala Lumpur, offers a delightful dining experience with pasta crafted from Italian flour and eggs, served alongside various international dishes like fried rice, chicken rice, fish and chips, Thai noodles, and tacos. Owner Luca began his pasta-making journey as a hobby, later transforming it into a thriving business, where he supplies machine-stamped pasta to local Italian establishments for five years.\n\nThe fresh pasta at Francobolli is cooked to perfection, al dente, with each dish timed precisely to ensure it reaches the table at its best. The minimalist pasta dishes, such as the Cacio E Pepe, allow diners to fully appreciate the texture of the pasta coated in a silky cheese sauce, dotted with black pepper. The limited menu consists of only four or five pasta items, each with a unique shape, available à la carte or as a set with focaccia.\n\nOne standout dish is the Wagyu Ragu Mafalde, featuring ribbon pasta adorned with frilly edges, which elegantly complements the mellow, slow-cooked ragu, along with mildly sweet San Marzano tomatoes and tender Wagyu beef. Another commendable dish is the Duck Crackling Carbonara, made with egg yolk pappardelle, providing a richer texture and a satisfying crunch from the duck crackling croutons. The Smoked Duck & Truffle Pasta, crafted with egg yolk tagliatelle, offers a luxurious experience, combining a silky truffle sauce with smoked duck cubes and a generous cheese topping.\n\nFor dessert, Francobolli's tiramisu, made by the owner's preference, captivates diners with its fluffy, coffee-soaked sponge and velvety cream. Visiting Francobolli on a Saturday is recommended for a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing guests to thoroughly enjoy the meticulously crafted Italian dishes in a cozy setting. The restaurant is located at Lot 1.25, First Floor, Wisma Cosway, 88 Jalan Raja Chulan, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, and is open from 11am to 3pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.",
