 The highlights of The Great Italian Gourmet Buffet are:

Coffin Bay Oysters. This South Australian Oysters are fresh and plum. I like my oysters simple, with a touch of lemon. You can taste the simple freshness of the oyster when it glides down your throat. A good start to the buffet.

 Carpaccio. There are a few selection of carpaccio in the antipasti, such as Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, Tuna Carpaccio with Orange & Black Olives, and Octopus Carpaccio with Orange & Balsamic Reduction. Our pick is the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, not commonly available, where the thinly sliced beef just melts in your mouth with the tangy dressing. Yum Yum.

 Mozzarella Cheese. The perennial favourite dish Mozzarella Cheese with Tomato & Basil. We just can't say no to it. The soft texture of the cheese, sliced sweet tomatoes and aroma of the basil definitely our pick for cheese salad combo any day.

 Pizza. A must try here. No matter what toppings they put on it, the combination of thin crust, marinara sauce and generous mozzarella cheese just made it delizioso.

 Lamb Rack. The Lamb Rack with Sardinian Vermentino, The lamb was tender and succulent, as it was marinated with Italian white wine. The balance of the fats and meat is just spot on. Though the 36-hour marinated Beef Striploin is good, but it just can't beat the lamb. We are guilty of finishing about one rack of lamb here.

 Grilled Sardinian Octopus. To be exact grilled Sardinian octopus leg. Not the first time that we tried this in Alkaff Mansion, but not the one to be miss. Slightly hard to chew on this time around, but still give a pleasant taste.

 Desserts. The chocolate desserts are ... Chocolategasm!!! There is a special chocolate cake, which basically infused with chilli. Yup Cake with chilli. The people here just love their chilli surprise, just like the chilli mix in the cocktail, named Alkaff Potion. (Please note that some of the chocolate cake contain coffee, if you are allergic to coffee like LD, you might have to check on the content in the dish dessert).

 The interior is grand, elegant and romantic, complete with dim lighting and large chandeliers, a modern touch to the carefully-restored vintage floorings of the colonial mansion. Tables are well-spaced, and choice of furniture is luxe and comfort combined, making for a good dining experience. Private dining rooms are available as well. Service is a little slow and has room for improvement. Music was also American pop at one point, which was a little odd against the posh Italian settings of this retaurant.

 For starters, we had the Pan-seared Hokkaido Scallops (SGD$28.00) with Cauliflower Purée and Avruga Caviar. I needn't describe the popping sensation of the delicious caviar - tiny but robust. The scallops were orgasmic - springy in texture, contracting firmly under the knife and expanding juicily again thereafter, catching the teeth with its delicious flavour.

 For mains, *V had the Homemade Veal Ravioli (SGD$28.00) in Alba Truffle Cream Sauce and Porcini Mushrooms. The pockets of minced veal was utterly soft and smooth, melting lusciously in the mouth with the robust, solid truffle cream. The mushrooms added flavour and texture to the creation, bringing it one step closer to heaven.

 I chose the Porcini Mushroom Risotto (SGD$28.00) Superfino Aquerello with Thyme. Flavour was distinctive and sapid in an earthly manner, with the aroma piercing the senses sharply; the dish was smooth and creamy - a little too creamy; the risotto became like congee literally.

 Starting from June 2015, AMR introduce Italian BBQ Night (Every Wednesday and Thursday, from 6pm) if the weathers permit. Italian BBQ Night will be hosted at the Terrace. I suggest that you come about 6.30 pm to enjoy the beautiful sunset through Telok Blangah Hill. Once you are seated, you will be teased with the aroma of sizzling meat or seafood coming from the BBQ and be serenade by Italian duet who set the mood like you are in Italy.

 We started our tasting with the meat platter, consist of roasted French baby chicken, pork belly, lamb rack and tender cut of beef steak. The chicken was slow roasted on rotisserie on the BBQ, resulting in tender and succulent bird. Perfectly cooked and even the breast meat is moist.

 The same applied to pork belly, lamb rack and beef steak. Nicely cooked, tender and succulent. For those who does not like gamy taste in your lamb at all, you might want to skip the lamb here. But for us, the lamb is really tender and basically melted in your mouth and they are so good that we ordered it for 3 rounds.

 Don't be surprised if you feel the meat seasoning on the light side. According to Chef Simone, in Italian BBQ, they do not or only lightly seasoned the meat, so we can taste the actual flavour of the meat. LD and I just enjoyed our meat with lemon and sea salt.

 Tiger prawns, squid, octopus, Mediterranean Tuna and seasonal white fish are the seafood line up for the BBQ. Though we are not a tuna fans, it was grilled to perfection, where the middle section still maintain its pinkishness. The white fish has a firm texture which was good for BBQ. The prawns, octopus and squid is definitely our favourite.

 The squid is springy and tender. One thing that we notice with the octopus is that the suckers on the tentacles can be slightly chewy after grilling. However, it can easily be scrape off with the knife, so the octopus will be springy yet tender.

 To accompany your meat and seafood, there is a buffet line for the side dishes. Roasted potatoes, grilled eggplant and capsicums, vegetables salad and bread. Although it is limited, it is sufficient to accompany the BBQ. In typical Italian fashion, the bread are served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Alkaff Mansion have 3 sections in total, The Restaurant, The Terrace, and The Bar. Of course, for more al fresco dining experience, The Terrace would be the only choice!
Breakfast on the Terrace: Sausage with eggs, mixed salad, zucchini & eggplant fries ($15.00). I love the sausages, and the two "cubic" toasts, but scrambled eggs simply made my anticipation dived! Alkaff Mansion's scrambled eggs, is as real as its name. So scrambled, that you don't need to slice it at all.
Breakfast on the Terrace: Smoked Salmon with eggs, zucchini souffle and mixed salad ($15.00).
What interests me is the zucchini souffle! It tasted like mixture of zucchini and potato, being mashed and sent for baking. Would also like to compliment about their Sunny sides, which is pretty well done too!
Breakfast on the Terrace: Waffle with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, wild berries sauce, and whipped cream ($10.00). Alkaff Mansion's waffle look fantastic in presentation, but just a mere touch of the knife on the waffle, I felt a tinge of disappointment set in. Lacking of crispiness, I can only depend on the vanilla cream dripped with the sweet berries sauce to make up for it.

The food here is awesome! Had company dinner here and the food had a few varieties. Mashed potatoes, lasagna and smoked salmon are must try dishes. The mashed potatoes were creamy and milky while the lasagna is filled with beef inside! Smoked salmon is pretty fresh and good for appetizers. As for desserts, the fruit tart is really good since the crust is crispy.

Full Alkaff Mansion Ristorante review here: http://ivanteh-runningman.blogspot.sg/2013/08/alkaff-mansion-ristorante-tasting.html

Set amidst the serene and picturesque Telok Blangah Hill Park, the restored colonial facade of the Alkaff family mansion now houses the Alkaff Mansion Ristorante. With its panoramic views of the park, impeccable service and authentic Italian food, Alkaff Mansion Ristorante is an excellent choice for romantic dates, special celebrations, and business dining, provided you're willing to spend.

Ambience at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante exudes an old world colonial charm. With its classic European-style architecture, beautiful fountains, romantic gazebo, and quirky giant rocking chairs (What?), Alkaff Mansion Ristorante is not surprisingly used for wedding solemnisations. The interior has an elegant, rustic charm, with its high ceiling, wooden panelling and solid furniture. Alkaff Mansion Ristorante has a rather spacious layout, and the second floor can been booked for functions.

I find the service at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante to be hospitable and impeccable. The excellent service at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante stems from staff's attention to little details, such as plating design, choice of words when speaking, body language, and more. Staff at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante have good product knowledge, able to explain the various intricacies of each dish, such as preparation and type of ingredients used. They are also able to cater to specific dietary requirements to a certain extent.

Food at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante is authentic Italian, focusing on cuisine from the Tucany region of Italy. Tuscan cuisine is characterised by freshness of ingredients, simplicity in preparation, rustic and hearty dishes and wide variety of game protein. Executive chef Marco Guccio heads up the kitchen, and his upbringing in the agricultural industry means he insists on hand-making dishes using quality imported ingredients. Such high quality of ambience, food and service means a high price as well, and a typical 3 course meal at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante will cost about SGD $50 - $70 per person. Average price per dish is about SGD $30. Personally, I feel that prices at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante are reasonable.

Very honored to be invited to a private dinner here and I have a chance of checking this place out for myself.

The ambience is very nice as they have wood interior and 'balcony' seating inside. Interesting layout.

Food wise, I must say every dish was very delightful! My posted photos say a thousand words.

The salmon pate was fresh and also flavourful. it's not minced to the point that it's mushy, you can still taste the individual salmon pieces. Next we has pumpkin soup that is velvety and smooth. every mouthful a delight. Then we had the Ravioli which I thought was too little (turned out to be good as my stomach has to make space for 3 more dishes). 4th dish was a lovely piece of seared cod that was miost and sweet! YUMZ! Then came the beef slice that was also very well marinated, tender too. Dessert was a strange cube of sweet cake but not exactly cake as well. I still have no idea what it is, but it's not too sweet and nicely frozen and delightful.

I must come back and check out their other dishes! Woohoo!!

Marinated salmon carpaccion is very appetizing
Their homemade pappardelle with black pork was DIVINE (a must try!)
They make pasta on their own from scratch, so it's really springy and tasty and doesn’t have that factory taste.

Overall pleasant experience, just that the cost was a little more on the high end and I'm an easily contented simple person.

We chose to sit outside with the greenery around and soft jazz band singing. It was definitely a very romantic place and a very good idea to bring your dates. We made our choice very quickly as it was a set menu for restaurant week. THey served us bread appetizers with olive oil and balsamic, and then followed by a special starter (not in the menu) which was a tuna tartare with dried tomatoes. Nice touch there.

 We had the dinner proper, starting with the potato dumpling duck ragout. It tasted alot like beef but was a heavy starter! Taste was good and the potato dumplings were soft and smooth, not mushy at all.

For mains, I chose the oven baked atlantic cod and my bf had the Slow cooked beef short rib with potatoes in a chestnut 'fondue'. I had a bite of the chestnut sauce which was surprisingly tasty and chestnut was very well cooked to be soft to the bite. The atlantic cod was very fresh and i liked the mushroom sauce on the side. The portions for both dishes looked small but I can tell you at the end of the meal i was super full!

The dessert was a little lacklustre-- a cream cheese parfait. It looked like a cheesecake but the texture felt like forzen ice cream. It was also a weird combination of sweet on the outside but had a salty part in it. It was special but didnt work for me.

I would definitely recommend this place for its excellent service, food quality and ambience. And for people looking for a garden wedding, i think it makes a very good location as well!
