This has been on the top of my list when visiting Yogya, finally it checked out my expectations.
I've honestly been curious about an "authentic" Italian place and I feel like they keep the authenticity while catering to Indonesian taste buds (might be wrong though).
The cannelloni ai spinaci was oomph—so creamy and just hitting the right places. I'm not a fan of creaminess yet I went for the spinach and it. did. not. disappoint. I could've licked the plate and brought back yearning.
The body purification was a herbal drink that I didn't know I needed before that day. Ordered for the fun of it, stayed for the lime. The lime—a burst of lightweight freshness—was a really nice touch.
The lasagne classica was oomph too. It was too heavy for brunch but! do no fret because the slight crispiness on the edge was able to revive that heaviness. The freshness of the tomato paste still haunts me to this day—in a good way of course.
One that is slightly a bit of an okay was the pizza. I asked for a recommendation, and they told us to get Bianca. Since I like thin dough, we ordered that. Hmm aside from the good shiitake mushroom, we could've ordered something else. It was nice, but it couldn't live up to its name. I could be wrong dough.
Now, service. Prior to this, we didn't know that servers were supposed to be like that. "They care a lot about presentations," my friend said, and oh—about the customers too. We were greeted from the moment we arrived (mind you, we were like one of the first customers who came in the morning) and unbeknownst to us, it continued until the end. Truly live up to its name.
Overall, an excellent experience. With the tax, it came around 260k for two.
