Rooted in family heritage and culinary craftsmanship, Manzo redefines fusion dining with its seamless blend of Italian soul and Japanese precision.
Located in the vibrant heart of Wijaya, Manzo offers a dining experience that artfully combines nostalgia, craftsmanship and innovation. More than just a restaurant, Manzo is a heartfelt homage to a rich family legacy that dates back to the early 1970s. It reinterprets the warmth of an Italian trattoria through the meticulous artistry of Japanese cuisine, distinguishing itself in South Jakarta’s bustling dining scene with a refreshing yet comforting approach.
The name Manzo, which means beef in Italian and is derived from “manzoku,” the Japanese word for satisfaction, perfectly captures the restaurant’s mission: to provide a satisfying and unique dining experience. Manzo showcases traditional Italian dishes through the refined lens of Japanese culinary techniques.
Led by Chef and Owner Dhani, Manzo’s menu is designed to please. A standout dish is the Woodfire Grilled Wagyu MB8/9 Porterhouse, served with garlic chips, wasabi, roasted shiitake mushrooms and ponzu brown butter. For a creative twist on comfort food, the Scallop Doria Rice—a Japanese-inspired risotto that combines the richness of seafood with a velvety texture—offers a truly satisfying experience. If you’re looking for something lighter, the Ham & Cheese Mille-feuille Katsu is a must-try. Described poetically as “an Italian soprano wrapped inside a Japanese haiku,” this dish layers beef ham and mozzarella cheese within a crisp katsu exterior, resulting in a delicate yet indulgent bite. To conclude your meal on a high note, the Brownie Miso Caramel Parfait provides a rich, umami-packed finale.
Manzo is founded on the belief that the best dining experiences are those shared with loved ones, where food serves as a medium for connection and storytelling. With its inspired fusion of tradition and innovation, Manzo is poised to become a cherished destination for culinary adventurers in Jakarta and beyond.
