This place has beautiful views. Unfortunately, there are a few problems. The food here is one of the most expensive in the city. The prices are about on par with a very high end restaurant in Bali. Vegetarian Pastas are generally above Rp100.000. And with meat on the pasta or truffle oil, you can expect the prices to get close to Rp 200.000, if not more with the taxes. The truffle OIL tortellini (italian pangsit) was 189.000 for 5 pieces 😱. What I remembered a few years ago, when I visited the restaurant was that its prices were expensive but about on par with most western fusion restaurants. Now, it seems like it has decided to UP its price level beyond that category but didn't quite justify that decision with bigger portions and higher quality food. Also, there were lots of big ants crawling all over the table when I was eating there with my family.
They have quite a few food items unavailable, even though they were on the menu. The raspberry dessert was not available. In fact, out of the list of desserts listed on the menu, only 3 are available. And the Angus steak with foie gras sauce was also not available.
The limone tenderloin scalopine has delectable sauce but poor quality tough meat. I can hardly justify paying Rp259.000 (before taxes) for the dish. The cappucino was also not very good (tastes like sacheted coffee to my untrained palate). I do quite like the salmon pizza though (my family's tradition is to always order this pizza. Quite good when eaten with the chilli oil).
And unfortunately, there were quite a few dishes that my family loved a few years back that are no longer available now : calzone (they used to have the best calzone I've ever eaten. But now they have changed the recipe to something completely different), pizza anchovy, beef schnitzel, pizza bianca
It is quite unlikely that I will be back in the future, despite the amazing views. I would love to come back for the sauce of some dishes but the prices, the quality of the meat and the quantity of food per dish (when measured in terms of value) will likely prevent me...
Read moreStunning place and interiors, garden, relaxing atmosphere My indo-friends ordered pasta and they felt satisfied. I've ordered a spicy pizza and I remained really disappointed: a bit oily, milfoil rind, neither texture nor any genuine taste. I love spicy as the indonesian do. So I asked for EXTRA spicy. The options are: spicy oil -surely a better solution but there was already enough oil within the pizza, or spicy sauce. I've expected a strong pedas.... unfortunately it came the industrial, bittersweet fake sauce. Maybe I was unlucky with my choice, maybe I had got over expectations for a good pizza; I understand a foreign cooking should be adapted to the local clients also but what I ate it cannot be called pizza indeed. I hope this critic could make things better, in order the restaurant keep be considered the best reference for italian...
Read moreBest dining experience. Amazing views over Bandung, open airy restaurant, friendly attentive staff and chilled latin beats. I think the food Is the best in Bandung. Having eaten out for 4 weeks every night in Bali and Java, Fashion E Pasta was the shining star that eclipsed all my other dining experiences in Indonesia. The standard of service is high, attention to detail and food nothing short of excellent. The pasta is the best you will get. We ate ravioli and stracetti for starters and finished with the a light rich tiramisu that is the best I’ve ever come across. After speaking to the manager Derry, it is confirmed that all the food is created on site in his kitchen. Go and spoil yourself with this fine...
