My wife booked this Resto after hearing about it online, 5 of us booked to break the ramadhan fast, we travelled from Serpong to Jakarta around 1.5 hours.
We were welcomed by the staff into what can only be described as a very lovely restaurant, clearly a lot of money has been spent on the decor, we were shown to our table upstairs overlooking everything, great for Instagram and Tiktok.
A quick look into the menu revealed not a large or great selection, for example not one Pilzza with meat.
It was around 5:30 when we ordered, and the staff knew we were breaking the fast at 6, we ordered 2 soups, 1 multiple cheese pizza, 1 Truffle pasta, 1 salad, 1 pasta scampi, some water and a juice.
The soups came within 5 mins so they were obviously already in a pot ready to go, the problem is as it was still 5:40 so something that could come nearer the time came very quickly, the problem with that is that by the time it was time to eat the soup was cold!
Both the Minestone and Mushroom soup were very small portions and my wife has made better soup at home, very dissapointing.
The salad which sounded lovely basically was 5 slices of lettuce with sauce and garnish, over 100k!
The pizza was OK, very soggy, and after it started to cool all the cheese went lumpy and it looked very unappetising.
My daughters truffle pasta was OK, she loves Italian food and said it was very average, she left over half.
My other daughters pasta had a very small portion of scampi but she could not eat the pasta as it had a very overpowering smell and taste and somewhat vomit inducing we had to leave it, a shame as it was the most expensive item we chose.
So unfortunately we rate the food as very poor in comparison to other Italian restaurants, the restaurant setting is lovely, but the food quality and choice nerds to be dramatically improved.
The evening well just over an hour was nearly 2 million Rp, just not worth it I'm afraid.

Read moreWent to this place at the recommendation of a mutual friend. This restaurant is located on a very busy street filled with great restaurants, left and right. Parking is basically valet since space is scarce, you'll pay 10k+ some tips if you want to. First time I got there, the waiter had this metal platter showing many different kinds of steak and cuts (like a5 wagyu t-bone etc), which is definitely something I never seen before. I have seen cheese and cured meat platter before, but this is definitely a first.
Food was definitely good, I ordered some soup, salads, pasta, risotto, and pizzas. The salads were decent, purple yam gnocchi was great, haven't tried gnocchi with yam before this. Other pasta dishes was alright, eventhough some relatives say the pastas were on a slightly salty side.
Pizza was great, although I think that the salmon pizza was definitely on the pricy side (you can get a main course by adding a bit extra from the pizza price, and I know how high the margin can be with pizzas).
The desserts were nice, souffles came out nicely, and the granita was refreshing. My family never know how sour granita can be, but it's a good experience to try.
Overall, it's a good restaurant to go for some italian food or family events. The service was definitely good, thanks, FOH and kitchen crew.
Beware of the beggars outside though while you wait for your car to come by from valet since they can be a bit pushy. I'm not sure why those able-bodied guys chose to beg for money while they can work, but hey, that's not...
Read moreJust had a dinner with a good friend and his wife and we decided to try this recently opened Italian restaurant in South Jakarta. First impression was good, the staff is professional, competent and friendly, I like the way they treat clients and the suggestion they gave on the menu. Let's see the menu: we just opted for pizza (I am crazy for real Italian pizza) and my friend's wife ordered pork tortellini in parmigiano sauce. My pizza 5 formaggi was divine (I tried with honey, but I am more traditionalist, preferred without 😄), my friend got a pizza with filetti di pomodoro and mozzarella di bufala that was a fantastic surprise (very tasty, but also delicate); tortellini had the wow effect! Excellent made, tasty and parmigiano cream was simply perfect. Honestly I am surprised to see negative comments from other clients; as Italian (resident in Indonesia for more than 20 years) with the passion for good food on my veins (and in my belly!), I can guarantee that this restaurant has probably the best traditional Italian food experience in Jakarta. Let's just have a comment about prices; excellent quality of products has a cost, I would have been surprised and suspicious if I found cheaper prices for this menu. I believe in Milan, our dinner would have been at least a 50% more expensive, but here at 12,000 km away from my hometown, I could discover a hidden corner of Italian real food. Super...
