Casa Vostra

No Italian meal feels complete without an Aperol Spritz in hand. This one was bright and refreshing, with that signature bittersweet orange kick and just the right amount of fizz. Served ice-cold with a slice of orange, it was the perfect companion to all the pasta and pizza 》$18

This pizza shows why the queues are constant. The base is light yet chewy, the kind that feels handmade and rustic. San Marzano tomatoes bring a natural sweetness, lifted by fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano for savoury depth.

The burrata itself is the star. Creamy, rich and indulgent, melting into the tomato base to create that perfect balance of tangy and milky. It’s unfussy, comforting and exactly the kind of pizza that makes the wait worthwhile 》$27

Casa Vostra has quickly become one of the most popular Italian spots in town, drawing long queues thanks to Chef Antonio’s reputation from La Bottega Enoteca and its prime location at Raffles City. With no reservations, the wait can be long but good things are worth it.

The crab tagliatelle was a recommendation. The handmade pasta had that perfect bite, silky yet firm and the sauce carried real depth. Between the sweet crab, tomato confit, fresh basil, anchovies, olive oil and a touch of red chilli, I could taste that there was a lot going on in the base with layers of savoury, sweet and subtle spice working together. The chilli was gentle, more of a warmth than a kick, letting the crab and herbs shine. It’s a dish that feels both comforting and complex, unfussy yet clearly well thought out 》$26

We queued for less than 30 minutes on a Friday around 4 PM, and here’s my take on @casavostra 👀

Personally, I LOVE LOVE cheese, but the Ravioli Ricotta e Spinaci wasn’t the kind of cheesy ravioli I was craving for. The cheese flavour was a little overwhelming, which covered the taste of the spinach overall — but the portion size will definitely make you feel “gelate” (aka super full and satisfied 😋).

A big “YES!” to their sourdough pizza 🍕 I ordered the Prosciutto e Rucola, and it was simple yet so flavourful — the savory cured ham + peppery rocket combo was just ooooof, I love it! 💚
Do note though, the portion is perfect for one pax, so… maybe order more to share~ 😉

72% Dark Chocolate Gelato, Hazelnut Crumble.
Looks good but doesn’t taste as good. Not smooth nor creamy — rather cheap chocolatey taste and icy texture. Not our favourite.
