Piasan Restaurant favours a slightly more up-market design but still maintains the Kayumanis flair for
style and visual appeal. The main dining area is an enclosed environment of clear glass to create a
sense of spaciousness that belies its actual size. Individual rods of polished bamboo appear to line
the ceiling making for an interesting blend of modern and traditional elements. Outdoor dining accommodates
only a couple of intimate table settings against a waterway backdrop and a giant fire urn that is lit after
dark.
Once again Executive Chef, Denny has managed to show his level of culinary expertise with a menu that
truly celebrates the tastes of Italy. Away from the kitchen, Denny is a humble Balinese man, but it is
his obvious passion for good food that saw him quickly rise through the ranks with previous employer
Aman Resorts. Clean flavors are an indication of Ketut’s obsession for market fresh produce.
Piasan Restaurant has moved away from the typical concept of a la carte dining and has instead implemented
a series of set menus. Dishes tend to vary depending on what choice products happen to be available on
any given day. If it seafood that catches Denny’s eye then invariably the menu might include Minestra
di Aragosta – fresh lobster soup with vegetables and pasta or maybe Salmone al Ferri di Asparagi e
peperonata – char grilled fresh salmon on lettuce asparagus and peperonata.
At Piasan Restaurant, Kayumanis has set to capture the ritual of typical Italian home dining which is a
delicious feast of well prepared food and social interaction. Each set menu includes an appetizer or soup
and main meal in decent sized portions that still leave diners with enough appetite to sample desert and
of course an Italian style espresso.
A fully stocked bar of cocktails, spirits and selection of fine international wines are also available.
Piasan opens for lunch & dinner. Reservations are recomended.
