De Luca

Located in one of the funkiest spaces at Plaza Senayan, De Luca has renovated over a furniture store located in the parking lot into a strip of a beautiful cafe. The newly decorated area, properly ventilated of course, is truly a brilliant idea.

De Luca's open area, wooden panelling and furniture makes this place quite enjoyable for you to have a business meeting, or catch up with friends and dish out on the latest gossip or even catch up on work. This place is always busy and people come to De Luca not only because of the place but they all come here to eat obviously.

The food at De Luca is pretty straight forward as they serve good traditional Italian food. They have designed their menu so that you can enjoy the best of Italian dishes from start to finish. What we find very impressive in their menu is their Primi Piatti section where you get over 5 different types of pasta in 3 categories of Creamy, Tomato and Aglio Olio sauce. It does not matter if your dish is vegetarian, wood-smoked seafood or even beef sausages, you still get your choices.

Another impressive option is the Risotto, and they serve 3 different types with mushroom, Pomodoro sauce or cheese. We recommend the the creamy mushroom Risotto which comes perfectly cooked with creamy broth, cheese and shaving of parmesan.

For those of you who prefer to share your meal, we recommend their very generous serving of Pizzas. The usual suspects os Marinara, Melanzae, Margherita and Frutti di Mare are available. Of these choices, we highly recommend the Bresaola Pizza with Pomodoro sauce, grilled mozzarella and finally pieces of bresaola which is their dried and aged salted beef.

Overall we can conclude that their menu has been created with some serious thought put into it, as the presentation and most importantly the quality of their food is a topper with reasonable prices.

P.S. smooth cocktails here as well !
