PizItalia

nothing like having pizza by the sea. in singapore this is as close as it gets. the pizza here is not very filling as there is not much topping. however, the dough is very good. the restaurant is some distance form the sea but you can see the sea from where you're seated. the service is slow and lacklustre. the food is quite salty and the water tastes chlorinated. there is a kid's playgym for the kids to hide in.

people rave about the crab cakes here. but seriously, there is nothing special about it. ok, maybe they do use lump crabmeat, so it is nice to chew on and you can see it's real crab. but the weird fusion thing is not good. the sauce does not go well with the crab cakes at all. the sauce is some kind of sweet sauce which was sickening. and the piled the crab cakes on top of some vegetables which had vinegar, so the overall dish tasted really odd and did not come together well. the crabcakes were also rather overcooked and the outside is hard and scratches your mouth. not really recommended.

The food was not what we expected as we read some good reviews. The seafood soup according to the menu picture and the waiter, is supposed to have whole seafood in a clear tomato soup. But what arrived was a pureed tomato thing with no seafood in it. Very disappointed. The crabcakes were pretty burnt as well. The mushroom soup was pretty good - full of mushrooms, but a bit sickeningly rich. A bit watery too. There's a playground there but there was no staff to mind the kids. Not really recommended. There're good views as it is next to the sea.

We are 3 adults and a kid went to Pizitalia for birthday celebration. My son loves the place very much. He loves the place but not the food, because there has a indoor playground this is what I think because after that, he always asking when is the next trip to dine-in that restaurant again.

We have ordered Chilicrab, Seafood Fried Rice, Fried Bun, Crispy Herb Sof Shell Crab, Remini Crab Cake, Crispy Prawn Pancake, Sambal Kangkong, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Pumpkin Soup, Chef's Seafood Salad, Seafood Marinara And Brownie.( we used 2 three courses vouchers for this meal)

The Chillicrab($50/kg)is fresh and the sauce is quite nice, that I can say there is better than other famous eatery.

The seafood that they served is fresh and the sambal kangkong is quite spicy. I recommend reduce spicy if some of people cannot take those spicy food. The Brownie is too sweet for us.

This is quite nice restaurant for dine-in with children. You may enjoy your meal without too worrying about your kids as they have staff to attend them.
