I always pass this restaurant everytime I am on my way home from work, just another few blocks away, everytime I pass I notice that I can't help myself from looking further to see that this Italian family restaurant is actually almost packed everyday especially during weekend and end month after pay day kekekek. I only have visited this restaurant twice with my fellow Australian padawans who apparently stay around the corner. This restaurant located at 400 East Coast Road, Singapore. The restaurant is spacious with their tiny wooden chair (quite tiny for those whose tall and broad builded person) and marble table. Feels like an old vintage Italian restaurant. The service is oke standard, so far I got nothing to complain nor praise about. So here is our foods:

Carpaccio Napoletano

Prosciutto & Mozzarella di Bufala

 Scaloppina al Vino Bianco = Thin veal in white wine sauce served with baked potatoes

Risotto Pescatore = Risotto with mixed seafood in light tomato sauce and a dash of chilli

Tagliatelle Ai Porcini = Pasta with porcini mushrooms, onions, extra virgin olive oil & a dash of chilli in light creamy sauce

I do tempted to try their Tiramisu but as you can see from the pictures, the portion is quite enormous. I actually felt full after the 1st course and barely eaten half of my main course. The food is not exhilarating as the crowds showed me however there's no doubt about their freshness and quality of its ingredients, seafood, meat, herbs, mushroom and cheeses that they claimed to have imported directly from Italy. Since almost of their product is from Italy therefore the price for each dishes is slightly higher, especially for their starter but with the price that I paid and the portion they gave, It was still allright, I would suggest for the small eater people to order just 1 dish either main, pasta, starter or pizza that their specially bakes with a traditional wood fire oven and ending it with dessert. Magnifico as per website..maybe good but not magnifico yet.
