For its next endeavour, Oma Elly Trattoria is set to expand its presence with a new branch in Kota Kasablanka shopping centre in South Jakarta. This upcoming location will feature a state-of-the-art pizza powerhouse and an open pasta station where visitors can witness the entire pasta-making process, from extruding and laminating to the final stages. The pizza and pasta will be attractively displayed, offering a visually engaging experience. The pizzas served will be more innovative than the current trends, which often focus on toppings and crunch. Oma Elly aims to redefine pizza by incorporating unexpected toppings and reconstructing traditional menus into creative pizza offerings.
A prime example of Oma Elly’s innovative approach is the escargot pizza. This unique dish features a delectable combination of cheese, escargot in garlic butter and bread crumbs, offering a fundamentally exquisite taste reminiscent of indulging in a traditional French escargot menu. This new branch promises to present unique and intriguing culinary delights that surprise and delight visitors. Furthermore, Oma Elly will soon unveil a new line of mocktails inspired by the flavours of Saudi Arabia and Dubai. These regions are renowned for creating refreshing, non-alcoholic beverages with distinct and unique characteristics.
Every detail, from the comfortable seating to the carefully curated interiors, works together to create an inviting and heart-warming atmosphere, making Oma Elly not just a restaurant but a place where memories are made and shared.
It’s nostalgic, cosy and comforting, with an inviting ambience reminiscent of a grandmother’s home that envelops you when you step inside.
