Housed in the most beautiful historical mansion on Telok Blangah Hill, Alkaff Mansion Ristorante is the place you want to bring your date to for a romantic date, or if you're looking to impress on a business meal. Even more spectacular is the mansion lit up at night, oozing charm and elegance. Start off with the Insalata di Polpo alla Carlofortina ($24), a salad of exceedingly tender Sardinian octopus. Then, try a really unique Sardinian pasta called Fregola ai Frutti di Mare ($28); fregola resembles Israeli couscous, and is tossed in a tomato-based sauce with mussels, clams and squid. For something heavier, order the Porcetto ($46), a succulent slow-cooked suckling pig with shatteringly-crisp skin. Finally, end off with the Panna Cotta alla Mentuccia ($14), a delightfully light, minty panna cotta with the perfect wobble.
