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.

Fresh parpadelle pasta with slow braised lamb and Pecorino cheese. Fresh pasta over dried pasta any day. Even if you don’t enjoy lamb, I’m sure this will be pretty appealing as it’s not gamey but you can taste the richness in the ragu gravy. Just love how soft and tender the braised meat is as it’s been slow cooked for eight hours.

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