Have you been to a restaurant with no menu Do you like surprises Well, if you’re tired of picking food off the menu, this Italian joint would probably suit your taste if you don’t mind forking out S$98 for a lunch per head. The Michelin-Star eatery that people raved about is a family-style restaurant in a shophouse space, with cozy dining rooms.

The Michelin-Star eatery that people raved about is a family-style restaurant in a shophouse space, with cozy dining rooms. Upon seated, my Japanese ex-colleague & I were welcomed by a passionate & well-polished manager, explaining the concept of the degustation No Menu. We got to choose only the Main Course – Fish or Meat, & the rest is up to the Chef.
Being an anti-fish person, I was disappointed with my Amuse Bouche. The breaded Anchovy was too fishy for me. Then again, it’s not fair for me to comment being one who doesn’t appreciate fish.
Starter 1: Mix of Parma Ham & Brushetta
Starter 2: Boiled Mussel & Prawns
Trio Pasta:Asparagus Risotto, Wild Boar Pasta, Burrata Cheese Ravioli
Main: Pork Piccata
Dessert: Green Apple Cake with Ice-creamSo was I impressed Honestly, No. Coming from Michelin-Star Chef Osvaldo Forlino, I was disappointed. The first three courses were very simple dishes & didn't quite display the Chef's skills.
For the much talk about Pastas, I saw my well-travelled business friend mixing the Risotto with the Wild Boar Pasta. I too, found the Risotto too bland while the other, too salty. So it was a brilliant idea to mix them up & eat it together. Lol!
The only thumbs-up dish was the Pork Piccata, one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The pork was thin, light & very tender. An excellent execution by the Chef.
Would I return again Definitely not for the S$98 course as it wasn’t value for money. Certainly not my cup of tea.
