get this prosciutto pizza! burrata salad & gnocchi was average, nothing to shout about. pricing was alright for the quality and it’s not in a crowded area!
This is another one of our favourites at this hidden gem. The finely sliced parma ham along with the creamy burrata cheese is a perfect starter for your Italian fine dining experience. Although placed under the Starters menu, don’t be deceived as the portions are extremely generous!
Till date, the best vongole we’ve ever had! The spaghetti was cooked al dente, the clams fresh, sweet and juicy and topping it off was the indescribably delectable white wine sauce! A must try for all!!
The pasta was cooked to perfection and was complemented with sweet crab meat and a light bisque sauce which was just right and was not too over-powering on the palette!
Really loved the pizza and pasta. The pizza crust was perfectly crispy. The ambiance was great too. We sat outdoor :)
Strew veal tripe was a little bland tho.
Pretty much a hidden gem - it's not the most accessible but serves a good variety of pastas and pizzas. I think this was the Pizza Carnivora ($26). Ratio of cheese to meat to pizza batter was perfect. Even the crust was not too tough and very nice to eat. They have other red and white pizzas too, I also tried the Rucola Prosciutto di Parma, the Alla Braceria and the Alla Bismark, and I was impressed.
Warm Limoncello Cake served with Homemade Vanilla Gelato.
The limoncello cake was dense and moist, having the consistency of a lava cake but it did not have that oozy filling which was compensated by the bright bold refreshing lemon flavor!
Finished this in less than 2 mins before the gelato even started to show signs of melting! 😅
Fettucine with Homemade Sausage, Mix Mushrooms and Fresh Black Truffle.
This sauce is from the small town of Norcia in eastern Umbria, famous for it’s black truffles and pork, particularly sausages and salami. This recipe, created to highlight Umbria’s delicious sausages can be found all across the region.
The flavor combination is sublime, with the savory crumbled house made pork sausage playing off the earthiness of the truffle. One taste and it makes sense that these two ingredients are born from the same region. It is as if the flavors themselves reflect a sense of place.
The use of fresh black truffle subtly enhances the earthy dimension without throwing off the delicate flavor of this dish. At the same time, the thick cream draws out the essence of the prized truffle, coating the entire dish in pure luxury. I added red pepper flakes to and it definitely kicks up the flavor a notch or two!
Though I’m more of a tomato cream person, i must say this kind of grows on you as you get through the dish. 😛
Linguine tossed with fresh crab meat in light bisque sauce.
Somehow I feel like the crustacean flavor is on the milder end of the spectrum and the dish could be greatly enhanced with that taste of the sea came out made richer and bolder. The dish should exude a briny, sea water aroma.
Also, I prefer the use of chunky lump crab meat instead of the shredded sort for the meaty firm texture and the intense vibrant sweet taste
300g Burrata Cheese served with Parma Ham and Italian Cherry Tomatoes.
Real charming sight when the utterly creamy, soft, stringy curd is revealed after slicing into the ball of cheese.
Beautiful pairing with the prosciutto, arugula, fresh basil leaves finished off with balsamic glaze. Just like the taste of summer! 😊
This crab linguine is full of sweet fresh crab meat and the bisque sauce that the linguine is drenched in is really good!!
Crab meat linguine in a light tomato bisque sauce. While the linguine was cooked to optimal doneness with a good bite, this dish was a little too one dimensional in terms of flavour profile for me. It was also a little bit salty. Plus point to the crab meat, which was fresh. Overall a sub-par dish — could have been better if they had added a spicy or tangy element to it and been more generous with the crab meat!
Italian is our go-to cuisine for special occasions 🙆 Although parking is an absolute nightmare (expected it though, it's in the middle of a housing estate), would love to come back here again. Food was excellent - my favourite is the crab linguine. & everything arrived very quickly on the table. Very pleasant dining experience 👌

Rarely are pizzas as juicy as this one! A crispy crust topped with mozzarella, ham, a runny egg and intoxicating truffle aroma. The combination of ingredients is classically divine! Just remember to eat it when the mozzarella is still melty goodness! 🔅
That means half burrata cheese served with Parma ham (30-month) and Italian cherry tomatoes.
Yum. Everything comes together for a wonderful palate. Fresh and orgasmic. I got a thang for cold cuts so this is perfffff.
$24.00 for a platter. 4.2/5

Love this place. Lurrvvvvvveee this place, with its cozy setting, friendly staff, great warm service and good food.
This is a Chef's Special and probably a seasonal dish. The amount looks small but let it be known that it is very filling and good for sharing if you are ordering appetizers and desserts. Truffles are plentiful and go well with the dish's base. Might feel 'jelak' after a while though.
$26.00. 4/5.

I was initially skeptical but husband was adamant about not letting me have any tiramisu. The cheese cake was layered in a light flakey crust (almost like layered filo) and the cheese has a lovely consistency of melt in your mouth tofu, definitely a highlight. I didn't like the homemade strawberry gelato. I know they cut back on the preservatives when it comes out too sour for my liking. None of that artificial flavours either.
So the husband could put his finger on why the pizza is not drowned in cheese and has so much greens in it. I found it quite delightful but it's not for the average pizza chain store supporter.
I will skip the silver fish next time, if I ever order this entree to share. Seasoning spot on just a tad off (overcooked) on the timing. Garlic in the mayo is just dope. Loved the roasted potatoes.
Perfect way to end off a meal! 😍
