Eatalia - Italian Delights — Restaurant in Java

One of my favorite italian delight in Bandung. On my first visit, everything was great. Their pasta (I forgot the name but its marinara sauce with prawn) was really hit the spot. Tomato was really fresh and balance with the chunky big prawn. Pizza was also good and surprisingly their sweet pizza was wonderful! The vanilla custard blended well with blueberry paste, plus creamy vanilla ice cream😍. But the marvel ends there. On my third visit, it was quite a disappointment because they ran out of almost everything. I ordered caesar salad and bolognese. I asked whether their tiramisu available but it’s just never available since foverer😂 (expecting more from an Italian restaurant). Their hot coffee also was not available. In the middle of waiting time, they informed me that they ran off romaine lettuce, they only had the regular one. I was ok. But when the food came… NO CHEESE AT ALL? See the bolognese and caesar salad pic… I honestly expect nothing less than a good parmesan on it🙂. I asked them where is the parmesan and they told me also unavailable… 🥲 then they offered us cheddar cheese and I took it but it wasn’t the same anymore. Nevertheless the taste...

A fine place to eat Italian dishes. The vibe is casual enough, although the place is a bit small (can't be help since the restaurant is situated in one of those shophouse). The owner is a nice person. The cook and the waiter is also nice. Overall, the food was nice and had big portion, although a tad expensive.

Food:

1. Mixed Mushroom Risotto (87k) The risotto is quite delicious. One thing I dislike was that it feels a bit too creamy for my liking. The seasoning for the food was alright. I got plenty of mushroom.
2. Margherita Pizza (68k) This classic margherita pizza was good. The tomato paste was well made – not too sour, not too sweet. The cheese was super stringy and stretchy (which my brother likes).
3. Fettuccine Carbonara (66k) The portion was big and it was made fresh (I think). It was served on an oval plate. The taste was spot-on. It has just enough cream and beef strips.

Drink:

1. Iced Lemon Tea A good ol iced lemon tea. Nothing special.
2. Strawberry Squash (28k) It has a refreshing taste, especially when there's an added...

UPDATE: the food quality degraded significantly since they moved to the new site. Tried the aglio, hawaiian pizza, chicken ravioli, and truffle ravioli. Food portion decreased substantially Aglio tastes nothing like pasta. It was dry and tasted more like chinese noodle. The taste was bland. Sorry but even instant spaghetti tastes more like pasta than this. Chicken ravioli. The "garnish" was tough to bite, not crispy as we first thought. Truffle ravioli. The ravioli had an unpleasant odor, like something that has gone bad. The garnish was tough. Hawaiian pizza was okay.

Probably one of the best italian restaurants in town. Truffle pizza and mushroom ravioli were great. Marinara spaghetti tasted a bit dry though. Nice place with plenty of parking. Price reasonable for the taste...
