K: pizza was thin crusted and J liked it alot yay! Usual price a bit pricey for the amount of ingredients on the pizza but with burpple its pretty worth it! Tastes just like how you’d expect a hawaiian pizza to taste like 🍕

never coming back… food was not up to standard at all. pizza’s crust was so thin and the cheese pizza had a weird taste to it. their gnocchi was so mushy, didnt even taste like gnocchi to me. their seafood risotto was probably one of the better dishes we had. tried this beef tangel sth noodles which had a good flavour but the pasta texture was not there. overall rlly bad.
Pasta was pretty decent, portion sizing is large.
The set burpple deal is a very decent price point.
(If you are not a NUS student)
Service was good.
The tiramisu is nice too. Coffee is to the acidic side.
No idea what's the original price but probably around 12+?
Total bill came up to 40 after gst
This was pretty decent, abit sweet tho. The molten core didn't flow v well but still ok
Overall it's abit pricey even w burpple, considering the quality. Passable but not impressive
There's a top up of 3++ for the seafood ones
Take note that when you use burpple, even tho the second one is free, you still have to pay for the top-up for each if u choose seafood
But at least u can choose any main, except the meats or sth
This was much less impressive. Abit bland and lacking tomato taste. Pasta wasn't done well either,very soft
The seafood and tomato flavours were there, seafood as not bad. The rice grains has a chew in the middle tho it's abit unusual. Overall it's fine
Knew the existence of this place cos of BB, but in the end BB deals were not as worth as compared to student prices.
Student Ml. (comes with free can of soft drink + free pasta upsize), one of those places that's in my books for cheap/value-for-money.
Decent plate of pasta, although portion size was still quite small even after upsizing. Carbonara here has a stronger "hammy taste" than creamy/cheese-y taste. Value for $$, will be back if I'm craving cheap and decent pasta.
$17.05 for 2, ($7.95 x 2 x 1.07)
Love it and v worth it with the burrple beyond deals!
The creamy pastas were not too jelak and the pizzas had a good crust and were meaty
The mushroom cream sauce in this one was thick but not too overwhelming. It went great with the chewy homemade tagiatelle. Sadly, the chicken breast was really dry and tough.
Molten Lava chocolate cake ($9.95) 🍰 7/10
The cake was small but crispy at its crust and molten inside. The vanilla gelato was also thick and enjoyable.
Tiramisu ($5.50) 🍰 4/10
I found that there was way too much biscuit here and not enough marscapone cream. The biscuit was quite dry and stale too...
This was my favourite pizza of the bunch! It combined what I love most about quattro formaggi (the gorgonzola) with salty pepperonis and onions! The blue cheese went surprisingly well with the sharp onions but I just wish there were more pepperonis.
For all the pizzas, the crust is made with a special italian flour that renders the crust fantastically light and crispy. It kind of reminded me of a very thin and fresh naan! There was no issue biting through the crust ends even after it cooled.
Rucola prosciutto ($19.90) 🍕 7/10
I like how the prosciutto slices were much thicker than how other Italian restaurants usually slice them, so it gave the pizza a meatier feel. Sadly, the meagre pieces of rocket was placed under the prosciutto which made the leaves a little soggy.
Quattro Formaggi ($17.90) 🍕 7/10
You can't really go wrong when you throw cheese on a pizza, and this was no exception. I liked how the interestingly light crust combined with the rich and heavy cheese on top.
Go for the Truffle Tagliatelle and pizzas, really unassuming little place that people miss out easily, but really good food :)
had a dinner date here for the first time, used Burpple Beyond for 1-for-1 main + dessert. we ordered a parma ham pizza & sausage risotto, oreo brownie cheesecake & dark chocolate gelato. *wanna put a disclaimer first that we were spoiled by the pleasantries by Jim, who served us most of our visit haha.
in general, we were very impressed by the richness of flavours for every dish, that paired so well with homecooked healthy quality that made it unexpectedly not-gelak, even the gelato! Jim explained that the chefs use zero MSG (yas). I'm a fan of parma ham so the pizza was an obvious choice, photo above! I'm not a big eater but I finished 5/6 of this, don't be fooled by the big sized pizza. I recommend getting this as 1 of your mains! risotto was deemed 'clean' tasting by the boyfriend, likely cuz of the absence of MSG & the dish's nature is porridge-like. the gelato was interestingly chunky & just the right amount of sweet. cheesecake was a wildcard cuz it's my favourite dessert- I'd place this above Starbucks & below Bakerzin/Cat & the Fiddle. for your own tastebuds' discretion 😅
beyond their food itself, I commend this place for their portion sizes & cosyness despite it being in the usually bustling UTown. perhaps we have Covid to thank for this.
if you see this, thanks again Jim for being such a gentle gastronomical (& photography) guide for us in the short time we were here.
Bella Italia ($17.90+) - vegetarian
Sun-dried tomatoes, mascarpone cheese, spinach, mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce.
Stop by for lunch at this Italian spot in U-Town. You'll adore their garlicky, chorizo-filled Risotto Viva la Spagna ($16.90) and the cheesy Quattro Formaggi ($17.90). Vegetarians will enjoy their hearty, cheesy homemade Vegetarian Lasagna ($13.90) with grilled zucchini, eggplant and carrots.

Slightly disappointed that what was served wasn't as stated on the menu; an explanation even after would have been much appreciated!
The pasta was nothing to shout about, but it's always nice to have a diversity of food and ambience in NUS!
The fish portion is good for two pax. A good healthy meal if u don't want any carbs. Just don't order the house pour wine. It was really bad.
Great and thin texture. The pesto flavor is really good! Great for sharing with a group of friends
The tomato flavor and texture of risotto was really good! Very enjoyable. The only complaint I have is that the chorizo was either really salty or lacking in flavor.
Price: $9.60 (for students). Fish and chips at Sapore at Utown. A pretty ok dish. But what stood out was the infectious friendliness of the boss that can brighten your day :). They serve other dishes like risotto and pasta there also!
