http://www.umakemehungry.com/2016/06/cacio-e-pepe.htmlCacio e Pepe is a hidden gem tucked away in Hillview District serving authentic Italian cuisine using quality ingredients. Many times when we were having breakfast just at the stretch of shophouses, we spoke about making plans here and finally we are here.From words of mouth, we knew that pasta here was something that we should not give a miss and even before entering the restaurant, the number of articles plastered on their glass door had revealed several media reports. You will be surprise that in this quiet area, the 50 pax restaurant during night time is lively. Due to our impromptu decision (as always), we did not make any reservation and was "punished" to take the non reserved seat at the Alfresco area way back into the restaurant.Before Blue Hours at Alfresco AreaThough it was equip with powerful fan blowing towards us, the weather was still very hot and humid.While waiting for our order, toasts was efficiently served with vinegar and oil on the wooden board.Soup of the day was cream of broccoli with a piece of fried cheese tucked by the side of it. There was moderate taste of greens here luckily and was quite appetizing indeed.Zuppa Del Giorno - Soup of the Day - $8Quite a number of pasta item on the menu was recommended by staff on duty and the method of preparation of Linguine al Cartoccio as explained by her had impressed us. Pasta was cooked to al dente perfection with seafood like crayfish, mussel, clams, calamari, prawns and home made marinara sauce and was then placed in a baking bag and baked.Linguine al Cartoccio - $24The 2nd part of the preparation (baking) actually brings out the rich flavours of the sea. I came to realise this when the baking paper was opened right in front of our eyes.The hitting sound of meat from the kitchen had indeed make the pork loin tender breaking the fibres in the meat.Scaloppine di Maiaie alla Romana (Pan Fried Pork with Mozzarella) - $24Besides being a thin slice and tender, it uniqueness comes with the combination of Mozzarella cheese, parma ham and sage accompanied with potatoes and mix salad. We didnt get the chance to try out their pizza as they mentioned that the kitchen could not cope with the efficiency during crowded timing. Thus we ended up ordering desserts before we bid good bye.Tiramisu - $12Couple with Cocoa Powder and yummy pillow soft mascapone cheese. Every mouthful of the dessert is to die for!You get a tinge of zesty citrus flavour in between the taste of cheese and cappuccino here.With 3 distinctive texture, you get to enjoy the middle portion of the dessert without soaking up with Cappacino and got a good taste of the spongy madness. Totally Yummy!Service was professional and friendly. Our ice water was promptly topped up even though we were the only customers in the Alfresco area. Too bad that we did not get to try the pizza this time, I guess I will be back for them!

If you are planning for a special occasion, Cacio E Pepe is a right place to go to for dinner. The ambience is really good for chilling and having chats. It works great for both family and friends. I ordered Tortelli al Tartufo which is a seasonal special. It costs around $20, average price for pastas. The pasta was well-cooked and tasted great.

Tortelli al Granchio is a stuffed pasta with crab and lobster meat. It is served with calamari and tossed in a home-made marinara sauce. The pasta nicely seals off the freshness and sweetness of the the crab and lobster meat within. With every bite, you will filled with the fresh seafood taste. With the marinara sauce, it further brings out the sweetness of the seafood and calamari with its tangy flavor. The pasta is cooked to perfection with no powdery after taste. What could possibly bring this dish to greater heights? Add a dash of tabasco into the dish and your tongue will be brought into another form of excitement and taste.
