Firenze Cafe, Kemang

Last Thursday evening, I was invited to have a food tasting at Firenze Cafe, located in Kemang, South Jakarta. I met the owner of Firenze Kemang, Mr. Andreas Diantoro and Mr. Eddi Mak. They told me this Cafe has just opened for about two months and is using a Triattoria concept (a place less formal than restaurant). The chef who is behind the delicious food in Firenze Kemang is Chef Luigi P. Palandri from Florence, Italy.

1st floor.

The Stone-Oven where the authentic thin crust Italian pizza are baked.

It took 5 minutes to bake a thin crust pizza and if you want a really crispy thin crust pizza, just ask them to bake your pizza for 7 minutes.

Outdoor on the 2nd floor (smoking area).

The air-conditioner room on the 2nd floor.

A relaxed ambiance with unique Einstein light bulbs inside the bird cages that are hanging on the ceiling.
