- The Food
Garlic Bread, Garlic Sauce
Garlic bread will be served complimentary with any order. Nice garlic flavour sauce that was noticeable but not overpowering.
Prosciutto & Melone @ $18
The parma ham wrapped with rock melon was a beautiful combination of salty and sweetness. Fancy appetize that pleases both the eye and the palate.Zuppa di Mare @ $12
A seafood feast of delicious tomato broth concocted with a variety of fresh succulent seafood such as prawns, clams, mussels, squids with white wine, basil leaves and chilli. Solid flavourful soup!Funghi Portobello @ $20
Large portobello mushroom basked with crab meat, ebiko and prawn was superbly succulent and the extra oomph from the rich gorgonzola sauce, mmmm...Gnocchi alla Marinara @ $22
This was the first time I had tasted the gnocchi (potato dumplings) sauteed with seafood in creamy marinara (Italian tomato sauce) and topped with deep fried baby octopus. The flavors melded nicely with the seafood but I thought it was a little starchy to my liking.
Pancetta Arrosto @ $26
A steamed-roasted pork belly that gives you beautiful succulent moist tender pork with crisp crackling skin served with smooth apple sauce, porcini and kidney beans. Every texture, flavour and aroma worked together perfectly. Plenty of meat and bags of flavour.Spaghetti alle Vongole @ $18
The briny juices from the fresh clams flavor the brothy white wine sauce. I will love to bits if there was a stronger taste of white wine and a little bit more of chilli.
Costolette di Agnello @ $42
Grilled Australian lamb rack accompanied with broccoli pudding and gorgonzola sauce was unique. The lamb was tender and my friends think it was grilled to perfection, I felt it was a little dry thou. Note that the chef may replace the broccoli pudding (was tasty) to carrot or mushroom pudding (may be a tad rich) depend on stock availability.
Calamari Fritti @ $18
The squid dredged in self made battered was chewy and delectable on its own. Not greasy, fried to perfection, slightly salty and definitely one of the most delicious seafood delicacies.Pizza Pietro @ $26
Thin crust with homemade pork sausage with cream, porcini, rocket and mozzarella cheese.
Tortino di Lava con Rum @ $15
Digging into this rich and moist molten chocolate lava cake was awesome! Cue the ooey-gooey center leaving you want more... and more. Warning, this goodness is for chocolate lover only!Tortino alla Frutta @ $14.80
Another new creative creation of Chef Peter. This frutti lava not only look impressive but also have the "wow" factor!Decadent rivers of passion fruit encased in soft fragrant cake waiting for me to indulge into a creamy pool of deliciousness, mmm....
Tiramisu @ $12
We finally (finally!!) wrapped up our meal with tiramisu which I thought was delectably delicious. Soft layer of cake, light mascarpone, with a right balance of espresso and cream liqueur.- My Opinion
In my opinion, this could be one of the best Italian Restaurant I had visited so far. Maybe I don't know how to appreciate the favor in my past visit, but over here the taste are well liked to my palate.
Don't let the remoteness of this place scare you. You will definitely find a sumptuous spread of dishes that uses original homemade sauce and fresh top quality ingredients. Not forgetting the exquisite desserts and wine.
