Finally! A marvelous little Italian restaurant in Tangerang! After a certain restaurant closed I was at a lost of where to go for my pasta cravings so we immediately jumped at the chance to go here after a family friend recommended it. And it did not disappoint!
The place was rather small yet cozy, the first floor was quite dark and a little cramped so we opted for a table on the second floor which was more spacious and nicely lit with huge windows allowing for a lot of sunlight to filter in.
We ordered the Asparagi to share for starter, although the dish that came out was different from what we had imagined (we thought there would be more asparagus for one) the taste itself was still a treat. A side of salad tossed in classic italian dressing along with a few grilled asparagus (Asparaguses? Asparagi? I’m gonna have to google the plural form after this...) atop a perfectly cooked sunnyside egg and finished with grated parmesan and a hint of truffle oil. I adore eggs, so the sunnyside up was actually a pleasant surprise for me. Hahaha.
I originally ordered the Ravioli Ai Funghi (because mushrooms are one of my favorite things in the world), which was supposed to be mushroom ravioli in truffle cream sauce, but they were out of the mushroon ravioli :(. But then the waiter offered the option of that dish but with the spinach and ricotta ravioli instead, which...spinach and cheese... yum!
The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the spinach ricotta filling has a slight lemony tang. Although it probably didn’t fit the sauce as well as the mushroom ravioli would have, it was still a huge treat for someone who have been deprived of proper italian pasta for so so long. Aside from that, I absolutely adore the truffle cream sauce! So smooth and creamy with strong but not overwhelming earthy taste. It was so good, I had to exert a considerable ampunt of willpower to not lick the plate clean xD
Desert was Tortine al Cioccolate (not sure I spelled that correctly...), which was molten chocolate cake. It took a while to cook and when I cracked it open it was not as melty as I had hoped but a bite of it redeemed it immediately. It felt like less of a cake than a shell of thin slightly crispy chocolate cookie encasing a gooey molten decadent chocolate center. The ‘not as melty’ texture I was disappointed about actually a blessing in retrospect as I did not need to chase liquid chocolate all around the plate to enjoy it xD
All in all, will definitely go there again and I urge anyone who likes Italian (if you don’t, shame on you) to go there as well! Next time I’ll definitely take my friends there and get them hooked...
Read moreBest italian food in town, ever! From family reference becoming regular customer. Also popular with foreigners i think?
Better make reservations before krn cukup crowded meskipun tempatnya luas (plus point greetersnya sangat friendly dan helpful)
Ambience restonya cozy banget, feels like i am in the catacomb🤣 design interiornya authenthic bgt (full of natural element like marble and wood flooring)
My personal favorite: Pizza salsiccia & funghi - 10/10 Mushroom freaks will love this as much as i do
Rigatoni pomodoro ai frutti di mare - 9/10 Smoked pasta with squid and clam, interesting presentation karena pastanya di dalam jar dan harus di shake dulu. Very smoky and savory
Bolognese pasta thing (?) - 8.5/10 Sorry i forgot the name, kayaknya ada di menu of the day 😫 basic bolognese pasta (save choice for everyone) but with homemade and elevated meatballs. Very meaty, very aromatic. Not spicy cocok untuk junior or senior
I ravioli ai funghi - 15/10 Creamy and savory pasta, trufflenya berasa banget! Raviolinya ndut2 banget. Worth to try!
Tiramissu - 7/10 Tbh a bit pricey and too sweet for me, i was hoping tiramissu yang langsung disendok dari tiramissu pan but apparently its not wkwk
Roma mocktail - 8.5/10 Fresh, sour, sweet and sparkly mocktail. Cocok untuk ngebalance cheesy pasta or sweet dessert
Another plus point free bottled water dan refill juga get complimentary all kinds of bread (i dont think you can refill it? But they give decent amounts sih untuk sharing) service was excellent clean toilets
Overall score 9.5/10 This restaurant is on top of my mind when it comes to italian...
Read moreLove the food!!! I went there for our anniversary dinner. Got our reservation by sending whatsapp mssg ( they are very responsive!! I massage them on the same day 3 pm). Good that they stilll have free table for two on 4.30 pm(make sure you book before dinner time because they will be full even of weekdays dinner)
(+)Got free bread + balsamic vinegar and olive oil (+)free flow drinking water ( love the idea!! I dont know why other restaurant never give such a thing) (+)big portion.. we ordered 1.Carpaccio di Manzo, i enjoyed it so much. Raw beef but tasted fresh..i never know that raw beef could be that tasty. 2. Penne asparagi en Maiale.. the pork is so tasty so creamy,big portion (i went to spagetho before and their pasta portion was sooo small). Lots of pork bits that i can enjoy every spoon. 3. My husband ordered Filleto di manzo medium rare. Not the best steak we have taste but still good for the price,the meat is not chewy.i like the mashed potato I love dessert wkwk we ordered creme brullee,bigne and quit eating for awhile to empty some space fpr their choco gelato 5. A glass of sparkling wine (i dont underatand wine very well,no comment on this haha) Conclusion : good food with good service,fair portion and nice ambience. Will come back again oneday!
The minus point is just they dont have the pictures of their menu so i have to ask a lot to the patient waitress (lots of italian restaurant dont have pictures on their menu) and bad signal in the building (and they have no wifi,so u can fully enjoy ur dining experience and talk with ur partner)
Spend less than 900k. It was very...
