Kayumanis Villas Nusa Dua
Piasan - Stylish Italian Dining

For Immediate Release

Nusa Dua – Bali, November 2005…

Kayumanis Private Villa & Spa at Nusa Dua is delighted to announce that its signature Italian restaurant, Piasan is now open daily for lunch.

Inspired by the distinctive character of Italian cuisine, Piasan is an up-market dining environment that reflects the Kayumanis approach towards style and visual appeal. The main dining area is a minimalist space of clear glass that blends seamlessly into a reflective pond. An alternative outdoor terrace accommodates only a couple table settings for intimate dining occasions. The clean lines of a dark marble floor and individual rods of polished bamboo lining the ceiling make for an unusual display of traditional elements with a modern nuance.

Executive Chef, Ketut Suisma, who trained with the prestigious Aman Resorts, has created a concise a la carte lunch menu that is focused on choice ingredient and authentic Italian sauces. As a Balinese, Chef Ketut is passionate about organic fresh vegetables that have been nourished by the island’s tropical rains and this is incorporated into many of his regional Italian dishes.

Anticipating the fact the lunch the tropics is usually the lightest meal of the day, Piasan offers diners a selection of tasty starters that are not too filling, followed by a delicious choice of pasta and pizza. A typical lunch for two may consists of Ėnsalata Dė Caprese (grilled tomato, basil and fresh mozzarella with olive oil dressing) and then Taglėolėnė Verdė All’Aragosta (homemade fresh angel hair pasta with lobster, tomato and cream).

There are also 7 thin crust Italian style pizzas to choose from, including the house specialty Pizza Alla Pėasan with a filling of sausage, ham, mushroom, asparagus, spinach, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and orange cheese. However, should a guest have any particular dietary requirement or request a dish that is not featured on the menu, Chef Ketut and his F&B team will be more than happy to oblige where possible.

To conclude the Piasan Italian luncheon experience there is a collection is sumptuous desserts, including a decadent chocolate tart or homemade ice cream that are simply too good to resist. A fully stocked bar featuring cocktails, spirits and selection of fine international wine complements every meal.

Kayumanis has set out to recreate the spirit of traditional Italian home dining where exquisite food and social interaction is a daily celebration.  Now open for lunch as well as dinner, Piasan at Kayumanis brings a touch of contemporary Balinese class and Italian dining to options that already exist within the exclusive Nusa Dua enclave. Reservations are recommended.
