Rosso, Italian Restaurant and Lounge is a doorway to Italy housed at the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta
With a name that exudes passion, flavour and a zest for food and life, Rosso embodies la dolce vita with its authentic Italian cuisine in a cosmopolitan setting. In the bustling center of Jakarta, Rosso invites you to enjoy the finest of Western European cuisine without leaving Asia.
Authentic to the core, Rosso’s chef is imported from Italy and she brings with her all the bold, artistic, vibrant talent one would expect from the country that gave us Sophia Loren, Giuseppe Verdi and Botticelli. Chef Oriana Tirabassi’s plates are as much fine Italian cuisine as they are art, pleasing the taste buds as well as the eye. Tirabassi draws on global, culinary experience working at five-star hotels in Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore and India before settling in Indonesia. She has opened more than 200 restaurants all over the world. Her motto is “Art is in our hands. It is up to us to give it a face.” And she infuses this passion and artistic talent into the menu at Rosso, creating classic trattoria style meals presented in a visually striking, modern yet elegant way to echo the restaurant’s vibrant and sophisticated ambience.
Rosso promises to use only the freshest and most authentic ingredients ensuring a dining experience that is truly buonissimo. Try the Crudo, a distinctively Italian delight, with medallions of beef tenderloin arranged beautifully for a bed for fresh cucumbers, apples and celery with balsamic cream and generous shavings of parmesan cheese. Or go for one of the gourmet pizzas topped with imported Italian meats and cheeses. Tempt your palate further by ordering a glass of one of 200 imported wines from the restaurant’s wine cellars. And of course, don’t miss dessert. The Tiramisu à la Oriana is sure to put the finishing touch on your tour of Italy.
Rosso’s main dining section holds space for 93 people and features a lovely painted ceiling in the Renaissance style. Two semi-private rooms are available, with one private room attached to the finishing kitchen. For that truly memorable and special occasion, consider booking the private dining room where guests can preview the chef’s final touches made to their meal before it’s served. And for pre-dinner aperitifs or post-dinner drinks, pop into Rosso’s lounge and enjoy the music’s vibes with a tasty beverage or cocktail. The lounge, which holds up to 40 people, has a cosmopolitan elegance perfect for relaxed and stylish drinks with friends or colleagues. The clean, modern design incorporates classic leather furniture and ornate mirrors. The focal point of the lounge is the bar’s dazzling light feature, enhancing the mood with customised colours to suit the setting.
