Concetto is the Italian equivalent of Saveur so first thing that comes to mind is, good food at affordable prices! While the decor at Saveur tries to mimic the ambience of fine dining, Concetto is so different, bare, industrial feel, with haphazard taping on the floors (I believe it is used as some form of cover up) and brown wood-like tables, stark contrast to the greyish walls. It makes me feel this place is still considered experimental so not much effort and money is used for the renovatio
This is one of the few places that offer set lunches everyday and the price staying the same between weekdays and weekends.
We tried both entrees on the set lunch menu.
Concetto pasta - which was cold and and Salitish. Give it a miss.
Mushroom soup - which was creamy and filled with mushroom bits.
For the mains, we tried the
Kurobuta pork cheek - pork that was tasty and soft, a very good dish
Duck confit - this was ok, skin not really crispy but well executed
Lobster pasta- generous amount of lobster for the price and a tasty sauce like lobster bisque just made this dish so delicious
Fruitti de mare - seafood pasta with a tomato based sauce, tasting of seafood stock and slight spiciness. A very rich and enjoyable dish.
For the desserts, the tiramisu offered on the set lunch is good. A deconstructed version of the normal tiramisu, you get to eat the various layers separately or together, it's really up to you. We tried the chocolate tart but it was forgettable.
