different handmade pasta dishes inspired by authentic heritage Italian recipes
from just IDR 100K.
As
sommelier at Bene Italian Kitchen, Pamor Budi carefully curates and manages an
extensive international wine collection and makes wine and food pairing
recommendations for guests.
He
particularly enjoys expanding and enhancing the collection of Italian wines at
Bene – now at 100 different selections to choose from.
“I became a sommelier because I love sharing
my knowledge of wine with our guests and my fellow associates,” said Pamor
Budi.
“I truly enjoy helping people
discover something new and opening the door to new experiences. I enjoy teaching people how they can create
perfect pairing of wine with different types of cuisine.”
Pamor
Budi’s favorite Italian wines are Guado Al Tasso from Antinori and Tenuta San

Bene’s daily menu.
