Review Pelanggan untuk Sapori Deli - Fairmont Jakarta

Together with fellow foodies from Pergikuliner & Gagaldiett, we made a unanimous decision to have our lunch in this exclusive Italian restaurant inside Fairmont Hotel, Senayan: Sapori Deli. Fancy, lavish and expensive---these three words summed our first impression upon entering this restaurant. And after pampering ourselves with a complete meal of three pastas, two pizzas and some desserts, we simply had no regrets for having spent our time here. Still, with some notes though.

To begin with, you can order its appetizer such as Calamari Fritto (4.5/5), which we ordered, to share for 3-4 or Tomato Mozzarella which the waiter said was the recommended one. Crunchy bread is also provided as complimentary items before moving on to the main courses. Moving on to the main courses, one of our favorites is Tagliolini (5/5), a bakmi-like pasta with creamy sauce. Its texture is quite thin and quite sticky unlike most spaghetti, the sauce is undeniably the creme de la creme of this dish. Its price is lower than the signature pasta Spaghetti Nero (3.5/5)--squid ink black pasta, yet one would agree that the latter is no better than the former. But, it is still one decent dish, I can say.

As for the pizzas, we ordered Naughty Boy (4/5) & Hawaii Five-Oh (4/5). The pizza served here is not of thin pizza (yet not too think as well) and its pizza crust is rather crunchy. The taste? Naughty boy was just like typical pizza served in many restaurant, while Hawaii Five-Oh had its special Parma Ham which for some can be quite, if not too much, savory. 8 nice slices of pizza to accompany your pasta. 

Last but not least, the desserts are not to skip whenever you pay a visit here. We tried its Cherry Semi Freddo with Pistachio (4/5) & Panna Cotta (4/5). Both were refreshing, perfect to end your meal here.

Service was generally fine with waitresses having good knowledge of the menu items in case guests are not sure what to order. They were also well-trained in their attitude towards customers, be it locals or foreigner. Food needs some time to be served, but the cozy ambience would compensate for your waiting time.

In brief, Sapori Deli totally deserves a place in the five-star Fairmont considering the quality it has shown to its guests.
