Bahasa l English It has been a month for me to stay at home, especially during this moment of large-scale social restriction running by the government caused by the pandemic covid-19 virus. I also can not visit any restaurant, cafe or other places, since it is not comfortable and safe, it is better just to stay home. So here these times, I will review the restaurants that I visited before but had not been written in my blog journal. This time Lobo Italian Bistro, not a new restaurant.

It's just that in my opinion, some sides look old-style, classic touches and kind of '90's especially the colors of the carpet, but the marble pa...
