Trattoria in Jakarta

I went to a great Italian restaurant in Jakarta with nine other American English teachers. Trattoria has six locations in Jakarta and some in Bali and one in Surabuya. The atmosphere is sophisticated and it’s quiet enough to easily converse. No loud mall music interferes.
First they brought out bread and bread sticks, which you don’t always get in Asia. Then we got free bruschetta, something you don’t usually get in North America (free that is). I got a basic vegetarian pizza which had thin crust baked to perfection in a wood burning stove – another rarity here. Others got what appeared to be good pastas or salads. There was one disappointing Mediterrean salad, overloaded with mayonaisse.
To finish we were given free drinking chocolate with what we think was vodka, some sort of alcohol was there at any rate. The service and food were a delight after the few offerings I available during my time in the provinces.
