Using time-honoured family recipes, hand-crafted pasta boards and its two wood-fired ovens, this restaurant is a nod to traditional Italian culture in every way possible.
Its two-course Set Lunch Menu (S$30++) is really worth the price. Choose from starters, such as Kale Salad, which is tossed with green apple slices, raisins, pine nut and piave cheese.
With a huge pile of fresh kale leaves, sweetness and grittiness from the raisins and pine nuts, and saltiness from the thick slices of piave cheese, each bite was refreshing and piqued our appetite.
For your main course, definitely go for its Bianca Pizza, a generous serving which is fantastic for sharing.
The dough was peppery and salty, while its mouth-watering three cheese comprising fontina, truffle and taleggio were wonderfully salty and sweet at the same time. Topping the pizza off were hearty sausage meatballs and crispy fried sage.
