Good and legit Italian food can be pretty pricey but it’s totally worth it. Just thought of sharing with y’all a hidden gem in Bukit Timah that serves good and hearty Puglian cuisine. Caruso Italian Ristorante doesn’t have an active Instagram page but it’s popular with the expat community. Please keep on reading my review as the pictures don’t tell a thousand words here.

Don’t judge the food by its cover.

As a cheese lover, I love the creamy, robust and nutty Gorgonzola cheese sauce that pairs so well with the gnocchi. It can be strong for the average Asian palette but I reckon this is a good dish to start appreciating blue cheese.

Topped with some toasted walnuts for a well-rounded finish. It does get a bit cloying (jelak) at the end so you may want to share this with a friend.

Go for their pastas instead of their pizzas. Service needs improvement for sure as the staff can be slow on a busy night.
