Italian 😍

We had their Mushroom soup as well, which altho had a nice creamy texture, not sure why it was slightly sour too.

Quite enjoyed this side - it came crispy, calamari was not too chewy, and was pretty flavourful!

Texture of the risotto was pretty good, but it was slightly sour (?) Initially thought it was because of alcohol but don't think they used it here, so was pretty confused by the flavours.

I really liked the mentaiko sauce here - it was creamy and strong in flavour. Pasta was well-cooked, and there was a generous amount of tobiko, which made it pretty satisfying as every mouthful had bursts of egg roe, which also added flavour! Only qualm is tasting portion is really pretty small!

🌟 Pistachio Tiramisu ($14)
This is really worth a try esp for Pistachio lovers!!! Was really soft and fragrant, and I particularly loved the pistachio ganache within which was thick and came with a strong pistachio flavour!!

Pistachio Donut ($5)
This flavour really got me excited, but sadly ithe pistachio wasn't as thick/ strong compared to the one in the tiramisu. It's a decent one, but I'd prefer the pistachio filling to come with a stronger punch of Pistachio flavour 🤭.

Torta Pasqualina (Easter Special) ($9)
Homemade savoury pie filled with ricotta cheese, spinach and egg. Personally really enjoyed this pie, as the cheese flavour was pretty good and light, but the pie crust lacked layers of flakiness and was just pretty stale.

Roman Schiacciata ("Flat Pizza") ($10 - Small)
We picked the Truffle, Mascarpone, Pecorino Cheese one, which had raving reviews, but this was pretty disappointing. You could barely taste the truffle, and the cream was pretty little. Apparently there used to be a lot more cream, and standards have dropped.

Grilled Octopus ($34)
Can skip this - it was way too tough and chewy for our liking.

Rice Suppli ($9)
Basically an Italian Rice Ball, usually made with arborio rice and mozzarella, and this was q a simple one, which was just alright for me but some may love it. It's also slightly different from Arancini because Arancini usually has additional stuffed peas/ meat, compared to Suppli.

🌟 Porchetta (S - $9, L - $18)
This is definitely a must-try when you're here - we got their Large portion, and this Baked Pork Belly stuffed with Wild Fennel is still as crispy as remembered, and as tender and flavourful compared to 5 years ago when I first tried it.

Tiramisu Pie ($16++)
I tried this before the lemon meringue, and I really liked the tiramisu flavour! But this really took the backseat once I had the lemon meringue pie.
The pie here was quite dry and didn't have much flavour - wouldn't mind to remove the pie entirely, and just serve tiramisu 😂.
