Calzon Prosciutto e Olive Nere

Calzon Prosciutto e Olive Nere - 155K

It's categorize as a La Pizza dish but in different way, which is not rounded shape, instead it almost like half circle in a way. The filling of this meal contain Ham, Mozarella Cheese, Black Olive, Chives. The fun part of this meal is, you don't need any knife and fork, instead your own hand to pull the Calzone, so the cheese are stretchable and the steamy air from inside will come out as it's soften the crust. When the chef slice the Calzone, we can see the steamy come out and the outside of the dough are still crusty not soggy at all. All the combination are so perfectly matched, from cheese, ham, black olive and chive blended perfectly like heaven in my mouth. You have to order this when you visit GIA Jakarta.

It is a Deep Fried Squid with homemade Spicy Black Aioli. This dish are so delicate, the texture of the squid are crunchy outside, but the inside are soft, juicy and easy to chew. The after feel are so clean in my mouth, not greasy at all. I believe they use good quality of Olive Oil. And the Sauce it self, oh My made me feel want to dance, OH LA LA!! Black Aioli itself made from black garlic and olive oil which has a sweet and earthy garlic flavor that is addictive. Made me want to dip more and more, i just can't stop.

Risotto al nero di seppia, salmone in salsa rosa

Risotto al nero di seppia, salmone in salsa rosa - 210 K

A Comfort food which cooked with Squid Ink, Baked Salmon, Pink Sauce and Black Rice Crackers. What a wonderful meal! It's al-dente Risotto, which perfectly cooked with Squid Ink. The important point is, the salmon are baked nicely, and the inside are still pinkish, it means the Salmon are not over cooked. The pink sauce made from Ketchup and Mayonaise, so the color are so vibrant! The Thinly big sized rice crackers are so crispy and salty, so you have to crack the rice crackers and then put the risotto, baked salmon on the top and eat in one bite. The combination in one spoon are so Fantastic, its like fireworks  burst many flavors and the sensation are amazing.FYI, you can eat the leftover sauces with the Foccacia (it's a complimentary bread), so just don't be shy and wipe all those yummy sauces with the bread. Cause you are the winner!  (Anyway Focaccia is a flat oven-baked Italian bread product similar in style and texture to pizza doughs.)

My favourite pasta! This is the best creation! honestly i never find pasta as good as this at other restaurant, but only in GIA Jakarta! This Pasta is an Angel Hair which is cooked with Black Truffle, Parmigiano Truffle The aroma of the truffle oil are quite strong and it taste good! Again you need to eat it while it still warm, don't wait too long! This Pasta served with Breaded Chicken Cotoletta filled with Ham and Provolone Cheese. The Golden brown chicken are crunchy and the meat are soft, tender and juicy. As always you need to eat the piece of the chicken and the pasta together in one bite, so you can feel the taste are Delizioso!

Rigotino Cacio e Pepe

Rigotino Cacio e Pepe - 165 K 

Claasic Italian Pasta with Parmagiano, Pecorino, Black Peppercorn, Butter emulsified in Grana Padano Wheel. I believe this meal suitable for Vegetarian!
This pasta perfectly cooked al-dente, which i believe the pasta are homemade and made from good quality ingredients. The sauces are so rich, creamy and coated all the pasta nicely. After the pasta cooked in a pan, the chef bring the pasta into the Grana Padano Cheese Wheel, and closed it with a pan, effortless to make the cheese melt with the heat and after wait for a moment. The pasta are stirred up a few times with a big spoon, until it coated perfectly and the looks so creamy! The chef told us to eat the pasta as quickly as we can, because it the best eaten while still warm (PS not hot ya, otherwise it will burn your tongue) If you like creamy pasta, this dish are so perfect for you!
