Osteria Gia

Udah kepo lama banget kesini tapi karena tempat nya sesek dan selalu penuh jadi baru berani setelah pandemi agak reda.

Kesini ofkors cobaiin pasta truffle fenomenal nya, burro el pepe kalau g salah namanya 210k / pax. Hmmm jujur buat aku biasa aja, buat harga segitu Nonna bonna jauh lebih enak. Dan truffle nya gak se wow itu ya apa mungkin karena aku pernah makan yg menurutku lebih enak ya.

Yg 1 lagi lupa namanya apa, tapi dapet rekomen dari server nya, tapi sayang daging nya biasa aja, bone marrow nya juga g terlalu gurih. Kata temenku sih disini yg enak yg marinara nya malahan, tapi jujur buat coming back i would rather balik ke nonna bonna apa sekalian ke toscana kemang. Cuma buat pelayanan disini bagus banget semua ramah, dan friendly. Ya mungkin kalau cona branch lain coba marinara dan pizza nya aja.

Not really authentic Italian resto, more like Indonesia-nised Italian food if you know what I mean. It’s nice if you want to bring people who are not used to Italian/western foods though.

🐈Worth to try

Cotoletta Torinese (185k) 7.5/10
Breaded chicken filled with turkey ham and fontina cheese alongside creamy angel hair. Kudos for managing not to overcook the angel hair. The sauce was definitely heavy on the truffle but not as overwhelming as their Al Burro E Peppe. Like the inclusion of protein since most pasta can be carb heavy.

Spaghettoni Al Burro E Peppe (190k) 7/10
Osteria most famous pasta menu. Have had this several times and it’s quite consistent. Buttery, creamy, cheesy, with nice amount of truffle actually shaved on top (not just truffle oil). It’s good but a bit much for me. Make sure to finish this before it gets cold.

Ravioli di Samone Rose (195k) 6/10
Homemade pasta filled with salmon chunk in spicy pink sauce, prawn & blue mussel. Nice servings of seafood alongside the salmon filling, however seafood did not taste very fresh for me, the salmon fillings were also too mushy imo.

Salted Caramel Tiramisu (115k) 7.5/10
Cream tiramisu, biscoff biscuit, salted caramel sauce, chocolate pearl, rock salt, and coffee powder.
This seasonal tiramisu tastes sweeter compared to the original. I actually prefer this vs original as I love salted caramel dessert. Huge portion so perfect for sharing.

First of all, ambiencenya best. Cuma area smokingnya memang ga terlalu besar (mungkin karena lokasinya juga di mall), dan Greeternya agak repot saat waktu kedatangan gue.
Jadi, gue udah booking seminggu sebelumnya dan waktu hari H gue dateng 15-30 menit sebelum jam reservasi, ternyata harus masuk sesuai jam meskipun table area smoking beberapa masih kosong. Maka gue memutuskan untuk muterin mall dulu🙂👍🏻
Pas udah masuk, ternyata table yg dekat jendela itu ada min. payment (+- 2jt), gue duduk di table sebelahnya, tp pas masuk malem ternyata table gue udah mau diisi orang lg (?) AKHIRNYA.. kita dipindahin di table deket jendela tadi🙂🙂🙂 (katanya kalau malem justru udah ga ada min. paymentnya)

Ok, pelayanannya gue nilai 3.5 karena untuk restaurant sekelas Osteria Gia harusnya pelayanannya bisa lebih better

And now, food rating:
• Spaghettoni al Burro e Pepe (4.4/5)
Truffle aslinya generous dan untuk temen gue yg ga suka truffle dia masih bisa makan, mungkin karena wanginya ga se-strong pizzanya

• Pizza Quattro Formaggi (4.4/5)
Trufflenya berasa dan wangi bgt, buat gue personally ga eneg, cuma ada temen gue yg ga suka truffle dan dia ga recommend

• Spaghetti Carbonara (4.4/5)
Surprisingly carbonaranya ga bikin overwhelmed, pas, enak, crispy pork bellynya pun beneran crispy dan ga alot💯

• Spaghettoni Cacio e Pepe (4.2/5)
Mirip yg al Burro e Pepe cuma versi tanpa truffle

• Spaghetti del Pescatore (4/5)
Enaknya so-so TAPI seafoodnya banyak sayangnya amisnya kecium bgt

⭐️ Pilihan Winenya banyaaaaaak bgt, tiap hari ada semacam menu special winenya gitu deh

😔 Tadinya mau order Tiramisù jg cuma udah kenyang bgt

Overall, total spend ber4 +- di 1.7jt dan mungkin gue akan ke Osteria Gia lg untuk nyoba Tiramisùnya☺️
