Signature Dishes
Full review found in http://www.nahmj.com/2015/12/29/da-luca-italian-restaurant-goldhill-plaza-ingapore/We were at the restaurant at about 6.30pm on a Monday evening, most tables weren’t occupied yet. But by 7pm, it was almost full house. In other word, either go early or make sure a reservation is made to avoid disappointment.Food was more than good. Fresh Mixed Salad with Mushroom, Corn and Cherry Tomato in Extra Virgin Oil ($11.90) was with a good mix of vegetable.Chef’s Ravioli Stuffing With Sausages and Mushroom Sauce ($22.90). It was with a very rich and creamy sauce. I like it. The Lamb Rib in the Grilled Lamb Choped with Spinach and Roasted Potato ($27.90) has a good portion of fats to meat. It was grilled to perfection. The spinach and roasted potato complemented the lamb well. Another enjoyable dish.Tiramisu ($10.90) was easily one of the best. A good balance between the cream, coffee, alcohol and sponge.

P.S. i went with wife to an amarone wine dinner at american club last november. looking at the food picture again, that dinner would be a bit better by comparison. still, this one was very good, and we enjoyed every bit of it.

First started with wild mushroom soup. It was a very comforting bowl of wild mushroom soup. Smooth, tasty and super yummy, topped with truffle oil. For mains, I had the crab pasta. Love this tomato based pasta very much. It's fresh and tasty. For dessert it was a little of a surprise. We were not allowed to choose and was just served with the chef's creation for the day. It's named torroncino. I do not know exactly what was it. But it was so so good. I think there was nougat and ice cream with custard cream. It was really heavenly.
