and unwind.
As guests stroll to their tables, they’ll notice numerous photos adorning the walls, capturing a grandmother with her family in various moments of joy and togetherness. These cherished images are of Chef Andry Susanto’s grandmother, Oma Elly’s co-founder and executive chef. The personal touch of these photos adds a layer of warmth and authenticity to the dining experience, making visitors feel as if they are dining in the chef’s family home. The décor, with its vintage charm and familial touches, perfectly complements the menu, which features homemade dishes that evoke the flavours and aromas of traditional family recipes.
It is no secret that Oma Elly Trattoria stands out as the ultimate destination for exquisite Italian cuisine. Renowned for its mastery of pasta, each dish is a delectable delight at Oma Elly. Among its stellar offerings, the lobster spaghetti reigns supreme, satisfying the cravings of seafood enthusiasts. This culinary masterpiece presents a generous portion of creamy spaghetti adorned with succulent whole lobster, vibrant fresh tomatoes and tantalising lobster sugo.
After savouring the delightful cuisine at Oma Elly, leaving room for dessert is an essential part of the dining experience. The restaurant’s signature tiramisu serves as the perfect finale, offering an authentic taste of Italy. Crafted with precision, this decadent delight combines creamy mascarpone cheese, rich espresso and the delicate softness of savoiardi or ladyfingers. Each bite is a symphony of flavours, enhanced by a sprinkle of cocoa powder and a touch of Kahlua. The coffee liquor infuses the desert with a bold aroma and intensified coffee flavour.
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.
