A Taste of Tuscany in the Heart of Jakarta

Step into a haven of rustic sophistication, where the charm of Italy meets the vibrant pulse of Jakarta. Ambiente Ristorante at ARYADUTA Menteng invites you on an exquisite culinary journey, serving authentic Italian fare in a setting that exudes warmth, elegance and timeless appeal.

Tucked away in the heart of Jakarta, Ambiente Ristorante at ARYADUTA Menteng is a sanctuary for those who seek refined Italian cuisine paired with an atmosphere that is both rustic and effortlessly chic. True to its name—‘ambiente’ meaning ‘environment’ in Italian—the restaurant creates an atmosphere of relaxed indulgence, where every detail, from the warmly lit interiors to the impeccable service, evokes the essence of Italy. Whether you’re planning a long, relaxed Sunday brunch, a convivial dinner or a celebratory private gathering, Ambiente promises an unforgettable dining experience.

Leading the kitchen is Ambiente’s Argentinian Guest Chef Francisco Javier Sánchez Alcázar, a maestro of the culinary arts who, alongside his dedicated team, brings the true flavours of Italy to life. Drawing inspiration from the rolling hills and sun-drenched villages of Tuscany, the menu offers a selection of dishes that celebrate tradition while embracing innovation.

Begin your journey with Zuppa di Pesce, a classic Tuscan seafood soup simmered in a fragrant, spicy tomato broth, or indulge in the Tagliere Toscano, an exquisite platter of imported Italian salumi, house-made pâtés, olives and scottaceto. For the main course, the selection is nothing short of spectacular. The Ambiente Pizza, a house favourite, features striking Tuscan charcoal-black dough topped with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, smoked salmon, grilled zucchini, mascarpone and a luxurious drizzle of truffle oil. Equally enticing is the Ravioli di Pesce, delicately crafted parcels filled with squid and clams, bathed in a rich tomato sauce. With generous portions designed for sharing, every meal here is a feast to be savoured among friends and family.

A grand finale is essential at Ambiente. The Bombe Alaska delights with its luscious layersof meringue, mascarpone mousse, mango ice cream and strawberry jelly atop a velvety chocolate brownie base.

Beyond the culinary delights, Ambiente’s inviting space—featuring a bar, dining area and private rooms—makes it an ideal setting for everything from intimate tête-à-têtes to lavish gatherings. The ambience is enhanced by the soft strains of Italian melodies playing in the background, which provide a fitting soundtrack for an evening of effortless sophistication. Sip on a Rosemary Old Fashioned, raise a toast with a glass of fine Italian wine or simply enjoy the comforting taste of an expertly brewed espresso.Open daily from 11am to 11pm, Ambiente Ristorante is where authentic Italian gastronomy meets Jakarta’s cosmopolitan spirit. A true gem for discerning diners, it is an experience not just to be had—but to be savoured. Buon appetite!
