New Italian diner at Mandarin

Pasta and pizzas are being served around the clock at the new Zigolini Italian Restaurant and Bar which replaces the Club Room at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central Jakarta.

The hotel's general manager, Duncan Palmer, said on Tuesday that patrons may miss the 15-year-old Club Room which was renovated to make way for the new restaurant, but expressed confidence that the public will find the new, informal atmosphere of Zigolini appealing. The Italian restaurant will be open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m..

Besides the all time favorite spaghetti bolognaise, Zigolini will offer special improvisations on Italian fare, such as deep fried squid, calamari fritti, with Japanese seaweed. (anr)
