Welcome to Orchard. Looking for Italian places?

guys 😭 i freaking knocked over my glass of passionfruit mimosa & not only did they clean it up for me they made me a whole new glass at no charge 🥺 okie but that aside, we had the burrata pesto pizza which had such a CRISP base & crust that was rly so easy to eat. rly big piece of burrata too so every slice of pizza has sufficient cheese~

the bacon gnocci was also rly yummy paired w the tobacco sauce! the beef pasta was not bad - the beef was chunky & substantial although i wasn't a fan of the pasta texture.

regardless, suchhhh a good meal w good service, good ambience! w a 25% discount off total bill, we saved $24 & paid $86 for everything on the table (ps the pizza was quite huge)

Came by with a group of friends and got to use 3 deals on Burpple which made this meal so worth! The food itself is pretty good - we got the Caesar Salad ($12) and Sweet Potato Fries ($12) to start and both of them were so delicious and highly addictive, really recommend! For pasta, we chose the Bacon Gnocchi ($24) and Seafood Aglio Olio ($24). Personally, I did not prefer the doughiness of the gnocchi but to each their own right? Aglio olio was decent, not outstanding, but I did appreciate the freshness and plumpness of the shrimp and squid. As for the pizza, we had the Hawaiian ($23) and Four Cheese ($23). Both were alright, couldn't quite remember how they tasted after but I'm not really a fan of pizza so don't take my word for it. Overall, with Burpple, this made for a value-for-money meal!

[ORCHARD, SINGAPORE] These photos really don't do justice to how much we loved both dishes we ordered! I have had @picolino.sg a few times and these 2 dishes really don't go wrong.

Cacio E Pepe ($19) is a simple pasta dish that is hard to do very well, but Picolino nailed it with their rendition. The Malfade pasta was the right choice, catching cheese and pepper well at every grove. It was al dente and we loved the chewy texture! The cheese pepper sauce itself was GLORIOUS. It was flavourful but not too intense, and the cheese was the right amount as it wasn't too cloying. The fried egg was a nice touch, with gooey yolk to add extra richness.

I also finally tried the Picolino's Burrata Pizza ($28) and I was ADDICTED. The pesto sauce was really garlicky and the tomato sauce further accentuated the fresh flavour from this pizza. The crust at the bottom was surprisingly crispy, although it seemed soaked with all the sauces. The cherry on top is the burrata cheese, which added extra richness!

After dining at picolino a couple of times, I feel like their dishes can be a big hit or a miss sometimes, but these 2 dishes will definitely make your belly happy. Can't wait to be back to eat these 2 again 🤣

When we needed to check for status of the food or request for more sauce, the service staff were nowhere to be found. could only get hold of them when they were serving the food. when we asked about the status of the food and whether food is ready, the reply was demeaning! exact words were ‘ wait la food is cooking’. yes there is nothing wrong with the meaning but the tone and body language are louder than any words.

during payment, when we asked if we could use burple voucher & if we could stack 4 deals (as per the t&c) stated in the deal, staff said yes.

however when we tried stacking the vouchers and redeemed 1 of the voucher, staff suddenly mentioned no stacking. T&C clearly stated that vouchers could be stacked and she stated it could be stacked. when we showed her the t&cs she called her boss to check and her boss have the greenlight to proceed.

when we redeemed the vouchers (deducted in Burpple btw), the discount (25% off total bill) added up to $0.69. the total bill was 385, and 25% off was $0.69?

there’s something wrong with the POS and staff mentioned that there is no stacking of the vouchers. Staff offered to write to Burple to refund us our dining voucher for 25% off the total bill if we take the 30% off Pasta and 1-for-1 Appetiser. We insisted that we want to use the 25% bill, but staff said they could not do that as they need to void the entire bill.

That’s just excuses as they did not want us to use the voucher with higher discounts. after insisting to use the 25% discount, they suddenly mentioned they could void off the previous vouchers and offer the 25% discount. we requested for them to write to burple to offer us the refund of our redeemed vouchers back, they refused to do it.

Picolino does not honor their discounts on Burple. the staff also does not have sufficient knowledge of their restaurant promotions and they have contradicting answers. There’s better restaurants with better services at better price around the area.

For Valentine’s Day dinner, we kept it casual at Pete’s Place, and honestly, that’s the kind of dining experience we enjoy these days—good, honest cooking done right.

We started with the Calamari Fritti, and it was one of the best we’ve had in a while. Lightly battered and fried to tender perfection, the squid was paired with pickled zucchini, which added a refreshing contrast to the crispy goodness.

For mains, we had the Linguine Vongole, where the clams could have been plumper, but the white wine reduction was beautifully balanced—sweet, savoury, and full of umami. The Diavola Pizza was everything you’d expect—meaty, cheesy, with a chewy, satisfying crust that fills you up fast.

But the star of the night? Pete’s Tiramisu. Served tableside from a tray, the savoiardi biscuits soaked up the espresso and white amaretto, making each bite moist, decadent, and just the right amount of boozy, while the mascarpone added a creamy, luxurious finish.

Definitely a spot worth adding to the list for comforting, well-executed Italian fare.
