Tiramisu @ $13++

It's good, but we have had much better. The rum wasn't soaked through in the middle so the taste could have been better.

Base sauce was mango and raspberry which didn't really go well with tiramisu.

Crab meat linguine @ $28++

We have craving for pizza and decided to come this place which has been on our wishlist for quite a while. Decided to have 1 pizza and 1 pasta and we landed with this, which is good but we think the pizza was really great and we'll probably try more pizzas next time.

Went for lunch at 2ish and they said there's 1 for 1 for any of their pizza, pasta and mains. Think we saw the promotion say mon - sat 1 for 1 lunch promotion from 11.30am to 2.30pm, which is really great and a very pleasant surprise for us.

Prosciutto pizza @ $25.50++

Really great pizza! We absolutely love it!
The pizza has breadlike base, but they managed to keep it thin with very great texture and the right amount of sauce such that it's not soggy and the base crust is crispy! Hits all the right spot for us.

Flavour is great and we hope to try other pizzas next time.

The gnocchi was a little dry inside, it's not as fluffy as it should be. Very mild sauce even tho ingredients were generous. Overall meh

The round ones are decent with a petty crunchy crust. The flat ones are terrible

It's an almost biscuity crust, quite decent but overall, very mild and the bars of asparagus were abit weird. Oozy egg was ok but honestly get something with meat

4.5⭐ Italian food again! We ordered 2 mains and skipped the starters as we had over ordered the last visit. Had the saffron risotto and meat lover pizza. Complimentary bread was served with balsamic vinegar. Nowadays WB also acquired eating risotto and paella as he used to comment that he doesn't like mushy rice. The risotto gives a slight sweetness taste due to the seafood broth used in cooking the risotto, this complements with the salty seared scallop and ebiko. Since we had seafood risotto, we had the meat lover pizza which is topped with ham, sausage, salami and onion. We were extremely satisfied with the food that WB wants to return again.

My go-to Italian restaurant for affordable and good food! First time trying the Calzone Pizza here and it didn’t disappoint. The pizza crust was almost like a pastry crust, crispy and not dense. It was stuffed with lots of cheese, ham and mushrooms, which was creamy and flavourful, served with a portion of tomato sauce for you to dip the pizza in, that provided a tangy contrast to the pizza. Food came quickly and portion was huge as well!

Grilled lamb rack served with vegetables caponata, mashed potatoes and brown sauce.

Lots of seafood in squid ink sauce. Seafood were fresh and portion was worth it for the price. Pasta was al dente and service was extremely good. Enjoyed my meal here.

This green bowl of goodness is basically handmade spinach pasta, chicken & pesto sauce. The addition of olives and anchovies works for this dish. The Pappardelle Coda Di Bue ($30) is worth a mention too. A hearty pasta with oxtail ragout done well. Those who like strong flavours will like the Gnocchi Ai Quattro Formaggi ($26).

I will probably skip the La Nonna Pizza (the $25 pizza with black truffle paste and egg) if I dine here again and choose the Prosciutto E Rucola (the $25 pizza with the parma ham). Desserts were meh for the Tiramisu ($13) and Panna Cotta ($13) but it’s nice to end the meal with the Affogato in the drinks menu.

The portions here are quite generous which justifies the price. The pizza is best for sharing and small eaters might probably be able to share a bowl of pasta. Service staff was attentive. It’s a place with a laidback vibe for gatherings, conversations and a glass of wine.

Recommended for sharing! I really enjoyed this lasagne, as it was so creamy and thick, with lots of beef bolognese with fresh carrots and tomato sauce, between layers of lasagne sheets, then topped with a thick layer of cheese. They were generous with the beef and the cheese, which was suitable for me as I enjoy more ingredients than lasagne! The mixture of bolognese and cheese were super delicious and texture of lasagne sheets were perfect.

Overall this dish was really interesting and delicious, but needs to be shared. Though the gnocchi texture was amazing, as they nailed the recipe that gave a chewy potato gnocchi, each gnocchi piece was really starchy and needed some effort to chew and swallow. The creamy and savory cheese sauce went really well with the gnocchi, along with the bacon bits, however the pumpkin pieces might have contributed to the overall starchy dish that would need to be shared.

Had to return back few days after tasting super delicious pizza from here, but this time we tried the meat lovers pizza, that came with chicken breast, salami, bacon and ham, topped on the usual pizza base with tomato sauce and cheese, with some onion. Although the meat given was really generous, we preferred the other pizza we had previously, that had more cheese taste, probably because the focus of this pizza was all the meats. However, I still enjoyed this pizza which was loaded with protein and was super flavorful due to the different meats and was really hearty.

They weren’t kidding when they described it as cheesy cream sauce. The parmesan flavor was delightfully strong, complementing the cream sauce so well, while coating the homemade pasta and giving the entire dish a cheesy, creamy, savory flavor. The pasta was al dente and I really loved the texture. The smoked salmon was salty, of course, and was a good addition to the pasta, adding more umami flavor and complexity.

Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch set here, which was priced at $28++, for a drink, starter, main and dessert, which was really worth it and very filling. This pizza was included in the set lunch as one of the options. The pizza was easily one of the best pizza I have had, it was freshly made, topped with tomato sauce, lots of mozzarella cheese and italian salami. The toppings were really generous on a thin crusted pizza, where I actually tasted more cheese and salami than pizza crust. The tomato sauce was not too sourish and strong in flavor, thus most of the flavor came from the cheese, which was perfect for a cheese lover like me. The pizza crust was also perfect, soft at the centre and crispy at the outer crust.
