Caffe Milano

Recently, Caffe Milano just anounce their new menu  consist of pasta, pizza, and dessert. And I was very lucky to got a chance to try their new menu with other foodies. Upon entering the restaurant, the yellow canopy was definetely give a very strong first impression. The yellow canopy was choosen to give a vibrant, happy, and delightful ambience to it but turn out to affecting the photo lighting... a lot (everything turn to yellow).
We were first served with 2 kind of salad which is House Special Salad and Caesar Salad. There was plenty of cheese slice and crouton on top of Caesar Salad. Lettuce was crunchy and fresh, just the way I like it. Didn't got a chance to try the other one, but it look more colorful from more vegetable variance.
The course continued with Chicken Croquette, 3 piece of croquette served on a bed of tomato sauce and salad. First bite into it was mind blowing, it was creamy, milky, and cheesy at the right amount. I'm diggin' it! Fried perfectly without leaving oily after-taste.
We then continued to a performance by the waitress. A big parmesan cheese wheel was present, the waitress put the hot risotto on top of it and stir the risotto inside the parmesan wheel. Saw this a lot in instagram, it was interesting to see how the cheese stick to the hot risotto and enchance the overall taste. There are some other pasta option too that you can try from the parmesan-wheel-series. I also tried the Tagliatelle and Pesto Spagetti, but I like the Risotto the most.
Before they serve the next course, a plate of fried seafood was served. This is one of the seasonal menu they have currently, consist of 3 big piecemof fried prawn, with fried calamary, fried small fish (which unfortunately I don't know what exactly), and fried vege. I don't really ate prawn, but the calamary was tender. Chef squished the lemon for us, and make it taste even better with that tangy taste.
Moving on to next course, 3 kind of Pizza was served. Start from Hawaian Pizza, which I really like since I find the combinantion of pineapple + pizza is heaven match. Meat Lover, contain a lot of ham on top of it. And the main star Truffle Pizza, omg I'm drooling. Unlike any other pizza, they use creamy spinach instead of regular tomato sauce. Then they put truffle on top and poached egg in the center. It taste gooooood. I'm not a fan of strong truffle smell, so this menu fit me.
We ended our meal with 2 dessert, Expresso Creme Brulee and Lemon Meringue Cake. Since I don't drink or eat coffee based food, I will skip the Expresso. The Lemon Meringue Cake was unique, get yourself a little of cake, meringue, and raspberry sauce, then you'll set for it. It taste sweet and sour. It was a perfect ending for the lunch.
I order Vanilla Sesame Milkshake, and I'm totally loving it. Vanilla taste was strong enough with a subtle taste of sesame and some real sesame seed in it. Unique but worth to try.
Service was excellent as well, will comeback for their Chicken Croquette and Truffle Pizza!

tempatnya ini didalam centra department store jdi tinggal naik eskalator dari dalam central aja.

yang sebagai koki di dalam orang dari luar gitu.

makanannya enak - enak bgt tastenya italiano gitu hahaha. pasta nya diadukin ke keju besar gitu segede drum. rasa kejunya itu enak banget. di salah nya pun ada keju permesannya juga. pizzanya tipis tapi bukan yg kering bgt mirio pizza express gitu. udangnya gede dan masih seger.

tempatnya agak remang remang gitu ada bar-nya juga. ada outdoor dan indoor tidak ada pemisahnya seperti kaca atau tembok tapi bagian indoor tetap dingin.

pelayannya cepat dan ramah

recommended buat pencinta pasta

Cafe Milano ini letaknya di dlm Central lantai dasar. Pas saya kesini, full restonya. Jadilah waiting list. Sekitar 10 mnt kmd saya dikasi tempat duduk outdoor yg smoking.
Meskipun outdoor, tempatnya sejuk. Bener2 ga terasa outdoor. Dekor lampu2 di daun2 rambat juga bagus. Nambah romantis suasana. Saya suka ambiancenya. Cozy, bikin betah lama2 duduk disini.
Kita jg dikasi welcome bread. Lmyn enak, bentuknya spt roll yg d tnghnya ada saus tomat.
Pesenan saya:

1. Nutella milkshake

Ini nutella diblend sama es krim coklat. Enak sih tpi kelewat kental & kemanisan
2. Earl grey nutella milkshake

Cukup heboh minuman ini. Jd disajikan di tray. Gelasnya didekor dng whipped cream & ditempelin ferrero rocher. Trs di sampingnya ada gelas kecil isi nutella cair & diatasnya ada 2 tusuk marshmallow. Marshmallow dicelup ke nutella sih enak bgt. Tpi minumannya saya kurang suka. Kemanisan! Trs earl greynya kurang terasa
3. Taglietelle with porcini & prawn

Taglietellenya homemade. Enak banget. Teksturnya kenyal2 gitu. Sausnya light butter. Ini juga enak. Menurut saya cukup kaya rasa tanpa bikin eneq.
4. Angel hair black truffle

Penasaran nyobain truffle yg mahal itu, ternyata rasanya biasa aja. Trs pake tambahan topping porcini mushroom & peperoni. Mayan mahal toppingnya aja 70rb 😂 Pastanya cukup enak tpi rasanya kayak mkn mie kecil
5. Milano pizza

Toppingnya pancetta (ham babi), runny egg, porcini mushroom, keju parmigiano & spinach. Pas pertama liat.. telurnya koq a bit too runny.. tpi pas dimakan, juicy banget! Enak banget deh pizzanya. Saya ada take away pizza ini. Sampe bsk pagi pun rasanya msh enak. Porsinya ga gt gede. Sekitar 6 potong kecil. Disajikan di atas piring biasa dng garpu.
6. White wine 2014 Schiopetto

Enak winenya light & a bit sweet.

Caffe Milano, cafe yang tidak terlalu besar tapi cozy untuk makan bareng keluarga, teman, pacar atau mungkin relasi bisnis.

Langsung bahas makanan yang saya pesan ada :

1. Green Asparagus : simple but delicious, asparagusnya fresh diatasnya dikasih telur, keju dan black truffles.

2. Parma e melone : kesukaan saya, menu ini juga simple tapi rasanya luar biasa enak, recommended! Ada rasa asin manis seger jadi satu, perpaduannya pas banget dilidah.

3. Homemade angel hair with black truffles : angel hair ini lebih lembut dan kecil dari spaghetti, walaupun tidak ada daging di dalamnya tapi pasta ini tetap enak dengan butter sauce, keju dan black truffles tentunya. Dimakannya juga gak bikin enek lho.

4. Wagyu beef tagliata : ini juga top, empuk dan tingkat kematangannya disajikan sesuai dengan keinginan kita. Must try bagi pecinta daging.

5. Nutella pudding : dessertnya juga gak kalah enak, kalo dari namanya kelihatan biasa saja ya, tapi ternyata yummy, puddingnya ini lebih seperti pannacota, tidak terlalu manis sih tapi tenang karena diatasnya akan dikasih nutella sesuai dengan permintaan kita mau seberapa banyaknya.

Makan disini tidak mengecewakan sebanding lah harga sama rasanya, saya akan balik lagi kesini karena masih penasaran sama menu lainnya :)

Nice ambience, nice service, nice music, in love with their signature MILANO ICED LATTE! Kopinya dibekuin jadi kayak es batu, lalu tuang susu putih, tunggu beberapa menit sampe es batu kopinya lumer, baru deh diminum. Enak bangettt! Mesen Pepperoni Pizza juga buat sharing dan lumayan enak pizzanya. Tempatnya memang pas banget buat ngobrol dan duduk berlama-lama. One of the most comfy cafes in Grand Indo.
