GIA is located at Ground Floor of South Tower Sampoerna Strategic Square. I was having a great dining experience here with fellow foodies last Tuesday night. GIA is one of restaurant from ISMAYA Group. The moment from I entered the restaurant, I feel that excellent service from the staff. No doubt, so far, never had bad experience with service from Ismaya group restaurant.
When I came, the restaurant was not so crowded.
I really enjoyed the ambience as well as the food from GIA.
As informed by the chef, everything at GIA is freshly made. No wonder if the price is considered high. It is all worth it, guys.

ANTIPASTI

Crispy Potato Pave
This could be one of great choice for your appetizer.
The topping doesnt taste like a raw beef, it was juicy and kinda spicy. Well marinated.  This should be eaten in one go.

Piadina Al Pomodoro
This dish is DABOMB. Seriously. The sliced tomatoes were perfectly marinated, I didnt even taste tomatoes flavour, which is good. The tomatoes texture were so soft and the taste was well combined with cream cheese. PERFECT!

LA PIZZA
Marinara Bresaola
This Pizza is kinda unique as they put potato chips as the topping. The chips was yummy and crunchy and well seasoned. I couldnt stop eat this lol. The marinara sauce was one of the best i have ever eaten.

LA PASTA
Gnocchi Alla Bolognese
Major love with this dish. Can I have more? lol.
The highlight here was the Gnocchi. Omg it was so soft yet so fluffy in the same time. When the sauce was made from short ribs ragu combined with pumpkin and completed with salsa verde. The short ribs was simply amazing! The executive chef told us that instead using minced meat, theh prefer to slice the short to keep the great texture of the meat. And yeah, it gave us another sensation in enjoying the sauce. Meat was super tender and fragrant. Also, not to forget the crunchiness of the cheese on top. This dish really gave us so many texture in one plate.  Omg, i dont know how to describe it further. It was simply perfect.

I SECONDI
Cotoletta Alla Torinese
Well actually this one is deep fried breaded chicken filled with ham and provolone. The chicken was really crunchy on the outside and soo juicy in the inside. Provolone cheese was yummy and gave another taste to the chicken and ham. While for the pasta, they used angel hair pasta and it tasted great. The truffle sauce was soooo good.

I DOLCI
White Truffle Panna Cotta
One of the best Panna Cotta I have ever eaten. I swear. The texture was sooo soft. Pistachio nutella tasted amazing. Not too sweet and the pistachio flavour gave another sensation. Perfect!

Apple Tarte Tatin
Served with vanilla creme and cognac flambe. Such an honour Chef Tommaso was the one who served the cognac flambe on that night. I love the combination between apple and cognac, vanilla cream balanced all the flavour.

For the drink, I ordered Mediterraneo. Kiwi, Cranberries, Passion Fruit and Sparkling Water combination made this drink so refreshing!

Well overall, i have no complaint towards the food. GIA really let me had the best dining experience.

Lagi ada promo happy hour disc 70% di salah satu platform ojol. Burju Dobelnya jadi cuma 16ribuan dan Burpi jadi cuma 9ribuan. Udah gitu gue punya voucher potongan lagi yang bikin 2 burger ini harga totalnya cuma 13ribuan dong udah sama ongkir lol.
Yang Burju Dobel nya sih puas banget loh! Patty nya double, cukup tebal patty nya dan gak lupa cheese slice di tengah-tengah. Wah cuan bet sih ya ampun. Beef patty nya agak keras dan kurang juicy sih, cuma meaty banget. Kayak 99.99% isinya daging. Warnanya agak hitam cuma bukan gosong ya, soalnya gak pahit kok!
Bun nya lembuuuttt banget!
Salah satu burger yang worth untuk kalian coba nih.

Siapa coba yang gak suka kulit ayam ye kan. Ku yang sedang diet aja gak kuat menahan godaan garingnya kulit ayam, apalagi kalo ditambah promo kan! 😐
Waktu itu lagi ada promo di salah satu platform ojol, paket nasi kulit pake ayam goreng dan air mineral cuma 25ribu.
Kulit ayamnya garing banget. Enak! *yaialah namanya juga kulit digoreng tepung ya kan*
Sambalnya sih nagih, pedas tapi enak gitu pedasnya. Serundengnya juga kalo dicampur ke nasinya mantul banget. Sayang ayam gorengnya kecill.
Overall, definitely will repurchase!

Order via ojol Jiwa Toast yang varian Egg and Cheese. I didnt expect anything sih about the taste. But it turned out so yummy and mindblowing. Yes, mindblowing.
Roti sekecil itu bisa bikin gue berkali-kali ngomong "ini enak, ini enak, you guys must try"
So, di ojol harga Egg and Cheese ini cuma 22ribu. Gue gak tau harga asli di store nya berapa.
Packagingnya super rapi dan niat. Kotaknya gede terus di dalamnya si roti ditaro lagi di tempat yang memudahkan kita buat makan, jadi tinggal pegang aja tempatnya itu, gak bakal belepotan deh. Haha.
Telurnya tuh lembutttt banget, dia tipikal scrambled egg gitu ya, terus kejunya pake sliced cheese gitu. Di dalamnya selain egg and cheese, ada coleslaw nya juga, jadi bikin bagian dalam rotinya agak basah, tapi bagian luar rotinya itu masih garing kok. Di luarnya mereka ada kasih semacam susu kental manis gitu sih cuma kayak ada campuran lain yang bikin gak terlalu manis.

Overall, this one is definitely worth to try! Sumpeh, wajib coba.
