Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
Three’s not a crowd at Troika Sky Dining, where Italian establishment Strato and wine bar Claret have blossomed this month, combining forces with avant-garde restaurant Cantaloupe to form a triumphant triumvirate on The Troika’s 24th floor.
Very likely KL’s best new Italian eatery in more than two years, with robust flavors taking center stage in recipes that brilliantly balance tradition & temerity.
We’ll delve deeper into Strato’s menu in the months ahead, but here’s a sampling of the starters: Swordfish polpette (RM25++), meaty balls in tangy-savory tomato sauce.
Our should-eat sense tingles for Strato’s house-made ravioli (RM55++), stuffed with a rich blend of Wagyu beef cheek and trotter that melts like some sort of divine dew on the tongue, slicked up with sage butter, preserved lemon and fried onions.
Strato opens for dinner for now, but call before coming, since renovations remain incomplete.
