Looking for Pasta places?

☕𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒕 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 ($5.70)- I usually get a double shot at @dutchcolony , but the regular single shot cuppa is a great perk-me-up for a late afternoon slump! 😋

🍵𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒂 𝑻𝒂𝒓𝒕 ($7.50) - An absolutely beautiful tart, featuring a dense and sweet 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙖 𝙂𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚, not a huge fan of this since I prefer a stronger 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙖 kick. May go well paired with a strong black brew? 🤔

Heard alot of people raved about this Italian restaurant. Manage to pop over as i happened to be in the neighbourhood.
Ordered the handmade raviolacci ($22++) with beef stuffing and dress with masala sauce. There is a total of 4 raviolacci when it was served. The pasta was cooked molto Al Dante, and I preferred it to be Al Dante though. The masala sauce is cloying sweet which I find it overpowering the beef.

Cake perfect, not too sweet, with delicious chocolate oozing out of the cake when cut. The pistachio ice cream was light and a great combination with the heavier chocolate lava cake. Will cone back to dine again.

Presentation of the Tiramisu was nice, and taste was great. Hoped that there was a tad more Baileys. Their lvl 2 outdoor seating area was well decorated. Perfect for quiet lunch / dinner as a couple. Service was impeccable, as usual.

Pizza was okay for a Domino’s Pizza fan like me

The braised beef almost melted-in-the-mouth, sauce was rich, rather heavy on the garlic but on the salty end of the spectrum which made it more filling.

Great ambience with excellent service 🥂

Cataplana ($39.80)
Roasted Cod Fillet ($39.80)
Mushroom Truffle Risotto ($23)
Napoletana Penne ($22)

Seafood and cod were juicy with crispy cod skin, yum! Skip the penne unless you’re vegetarian 🥗

The waiter kindly informed us to join a free lifetime membership with Novotel (a French hotel-chain which this restaurant was a part of) which allows you to redeem a free dessert per person 🍰

1-for-1 Mains Burpple Deal
Easy reservation online, location rather accessible (10min walk from Stevens MRT), free parking after 5pm. Sadly, we arrived <10mins before 5pm for our reservation and paid $6+ for 2 hours parking.

Excellent service with waiters checking in on the refill of water and replacement of clean plates whenever there were new dishes served and serving plates still filled.

Seafood in the Cataplana was fresh and sauce/ bisque flavourful, but the portions were rather small for us so be ready to order more than 1 dish for a fuller meal (1-for-1 only applies per headcount)

The burpple beyond set comes with a serving of shittake mushroom soup, the croutons were very crunchy and crispy but also a tad greasy

Authentic italian food with good vibes and ambience. Felt that the staff were also very attentive. Casual dining and didn’t felt the need to dress very well as well. Would highly recommend to visit. Only issue I have is that nearer to the window area, it tends to get a bit hot as the aircon is unable to reach that area.

We liked how this wasn’t overtly oily or spicy, they were very generous with the prawns which we appreciated ! Definitely something we would get again if we went

This was huge!! they’re really generous with the portions and this was really crispy when it came but did become a lil soggy and greasy after it cooled down
