For a more detailed review with pictures, please head to http://thehungrybunnie.blogspot.com/2012/02/al-dente-trattoria-esplanade.htmlThe floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant affords a very lovely view of the water and lots of foot traffic for people watching.We had:1) Capesante e Insalata di Caldo Spinaci ($22) The pan-seared scallops were executed perfectly, succulent and juicy, and laid on a bed of sauteed baby spinach, pinenuts and a drizzling of aged hazelnut vinaigrette.

I had Pan seared scallops ($22) as appetizer. The fresh giant scallops are pan-seared till slightly char on the surface, served on a bedding of warm baby spinach, pine nut, and drizzled with the lovely aged hazelnut vinaigrette. One could taste the natural sweetness of the scallop as the sauce itself is not over-powdering. Cream of porcini soup ($12) is very well-seasoned, and the coarsely blended mushroom gives a good texture to the creamy soup. For main course, I ordered the Arragosta ravoili

During our first visit to Al Dente, we had pasta dishes, so we decided to try their risotto dishes this time round. I had the Zucca Risotto alla Fungi ($24). The risotto is cooked with sauteed porcini, portobello and served with pumpkin. The flavour is not very strong, with a hint of sweetness from the pumpkin, I reckon it's quite a lady dish. Spinaci Risotto con Gamberoni ($28) on the other hand, has a stronger flavour. The pan roasted king prawn is fresh, and the creamy spinach risotto is simp

Lavender-infused white mousse cake is the worst of all. A tasteless block of frozen whipped cream covered with sweeten mousse and topped with sour strawberry slices. I could hear the next table complaining about the same dessert too.Oven-baked Wagyu Tenderloin on Pumpkin Mash with Onion Confit - Request for middle-rare, but come middle-well. Taste wise well done. Salmon on sauteed vegetables - Abit oily but the salmon is juicy. Double-boiled Consomme with Oxtail Ravioli - The soup is full-bodied

Located outside the Esplanade Mall, Al Dente Trattoria offers diners a good sea view, which creates a really relaxing dining atmosphere. The complimentary bread slices are toasted to crisp in the outside, warm and soft in the inside. With the walnut crunch, it simply tasty. We didn't order appetizer this round. Luckily we didn't, because the portion of their mains is quite big. I had the Crabmeat alla Lasagna ($27), where the layered pasta sheets are filled with crabmeat marinated with garlic, s

i love the food at al dente trattoria. i was watching a performance with my girlfriend when we decided to get some food before it starts. we settled for al dente trattoria. i simply love the smoked chicken starter. the chicken is so tender and juicy. it tasted somewhat refreshing. the entire dish is very light, you would not feel somewhat heavy after the meal. the service here is really good. the waiters were attentive and you need not need to wait long for the food to be served.

The food at Al Dente Trattoria is just delicious! we ordered a pizza and a pasta to share. The Carbonara pasta was just simply awesome! the cream sauce tasted so creamy and milky! the mushroom was sliced thinly and very fine. the portion isnt too big that u will get sick of it after eating halfway. as a whole, the pasta tasted really very smooth. a yummy indulgence!the pizza taste really good. they were very generous with the pineapples that the entire pizza was covered with pineapple. the pizza

Al Dente Trattoria is the only Italian offering at performing arts venue Esplanade for now. It boasts of a romantic dining experience with its scenic rooftop area that overlooks the Singapore river. FreshGrads checks the Italian restaurant out.THE FOOD:Al Dente is the only place for a number of Italian favourites such as wood-fired pizzas, risottos, and homemade ravioli in the Esplanade area. For starters, try the portbello mushroom infused with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, which is excellent

You know I don’t think much of a restaurant when the post is so short that I take less than 10mins to type it out. Al Dente Trattoria at Esplanade is an example. The food was very so-so (read: Bor-ring), which was why the foodie-girlfriend and I were surprised that the place was quite packed on a weekday night. Maybe it’s the nice rooftop ambience, or it could be that huge banner you see below.Spinach and ricotta ravioli ($24++): Sauteed in a white wine truffle broth, mixed with garden rucola an
