If you’re a pasta lover on a budget, you’ve come to the right place. Typically, a plate of pasta will set you back about S$10 – S$20. With that in mind, I decided to sieve out 10 Pasta Places in Singapore under S$10 so good you won’t believe it.

il piccolo pizzeria - dishes

From classic Italian dishes to innovative fusion creations, these hidden gems (or familiar places) offer al dente-licious value for money meals. Whether you’re craving a creamy carbonara, a spicy aglio olio, or a unique twist, here’s something to satisfy every palate. Andiamo!

1. Victor’s Western Grill & Pasta

VICTOR'S - STOREFRONT

This has a “WOW” factor. Described as “one of the best Western spots in Singapore”, Victor’s Western Grill & Pasta at Clementi 881 Kimly Coffeeshop lives up to its name. 

Feast your eyes on this. 

Tucked away in a far corner of a kopitiam, the stall boasts a wide variety of Uncle Victor’s hearty plates of Pasta and Chop. These dishes legit got char one ah, I witnessed the fire spilling out of the wok when he was cooking. 

VICTOR'S - SPAGHETTI & CHOPS

Starting with the Pasta, you can pick a choice of Tomato, Cream or Aglio Olio Sauce. As for the Chops, choose between Fries or Mashed Potato. All priced at S$9.90 (paiseh, but still under S$10 right?), Uncle Victor’s recommendations include Spaghetti with Chicken Chop (S$9.90) and Spaghetti with Pork Chop (S$9.90)

Try out other reccs like Chicken Chop (S$8.50) and Pork Chop (S$9). Feeling bougie? On with the Spaghetti with Salmon (S$12.90) or Ribeye Beef (S$13).

We tried Spaghetti with Pork Chop in Cream and Chicken Chop in Mashed Potato. While the al dente spag had the perfect ratio of cream and water (not cloying at all), both chops were melt-in-your-mouth tender and the mashed potato was, well, buttery-smooth.

I know it’s good when my selective mother approves it.

2. Chef Choo Signature

CHEF CHOO - STOREFRONT

Helmed by an ex-chef from the renowned Pete’s Place at Grand Hyatt, Chef Choo Signature at Golden Mile Food Centre serves pasta fit for “royalty” at affordable prices. 

Say hello to Chef Choo himself, who dons a smart chef’s uniform despite the humid Singapore weather. Professional sia. Sporting an exposed brick wall with loose hanging plants, the humble hawker stall is not hard to miss with its striking Italian-esque signboard. 

Let’s head to the good part.

The stall offers a decent variety of dishes – Think, their signature Sizzling Seafood Spaghetti (S$8.40/ $$14.40) served on a sizzlin’ hot plate to spag classics like Spaghetti Bolognese (S$7.50). You may also choose to opt for other dishes like Norwegian Salmon (S$7.90) with Teriyaki Sauce or Seared Beef (S$7.90) with onion and a side of savoury Garlic Rice. 

CHEF CHOO - CARBONARA

I had to settle for their best-selling Spaghetti Carbonara (S$7.50) though. Looks are deceiving as this was a super solid plate of carbonara. Garnished with parsley and ground black pepper, this al dente spaghetti was generously portioned with a mix of shimeji mushrooms and mouth-watering bacon bits. 

For a true feast for a king, upsize your pasta for S$1 and include add-ons like Grilled Chicken (S$4) or Seafood (Prawns/ Mussels/ Clams/ Scallops) (S$6).

3. Go Pasta

GO PASTA - STOREFRONT

Located at the soon-to-be closed Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre, Go Pasta (NOT to be confused by the PastaGo franchise) offers Make Your Own Pasta for as low as S$6

GOGOGO!

Among the 4 different sauces you can choose, Rose (Tomato with Cream) is a must-try. Look out for other sauces like Tomato (In-house Base) and Aglio Olio (Olive oil with Garlic) too. As for the fillings, take it easy with Plain (S$6) or Bacon (S$8). Switching things up? Go ham with Chicken Chop (S$9) or Tiger Prawn (S$9.50). For the star of the show, select either Spaghetti or Penne, available in spicy or non-spicy. 

GOPASTA - PENNE

My DIY Pasta was a choice of non-spicy Rose Penne with Bacon Filling and a recommended Mushroom Add-on (S$1). Do the math, but I assure you that it is still within budget. 

Featuring a surprising combi of shimeiji mushrooms in 2 colours and streaks of bacon, the made-to-order Penne retained its firmness and texture when I enjoyed it at home. I really really appreciated how the sauce and pasta were separated too! 

What’s more, look out for monthly specials like the Tom Yum Seafood Pasta (S$10.90) that’s perfect for spice or seafood aficionados. If you are both, jackpot. 

Go snag a share of Pasta before it’s too late.

4. Eddy’s

Duck Confit in a hawker centre? Yet, here we are. Meet Eddy, a sturdy ex-head chef of a soba chain who helms Eddy’s (duh), a popular Western fusion hawker stall at the archaic Hong Lim Market & Food Centre.

Good news to the spice-tolerant, topping the menu is their best-selling Chicken Chop with Laksa Spaghetti (S$9.50) which comes with a meaty pan-fried Chicken Chop marinated in herbs and spices like oregano and cajun seasoning. Meanwhile, the Laksa Spaghetti is topped with hae bee hiam and coated in tangy laksa sauce. 

Although this slightly deviates from our S$10 budget, it is one worth mentioning.

Another best-seller is the Mala Shrimp Spaghetti (S$10.50), dressed in house-made mala sauce with hints of fennel and cumin. Spice-intolerants unite! Similar to all of Eddy’s spaghetti, the Chicken Alfredo (S$10.50) is a creamy goodness that includes broccoli, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. 

How could I forget the Duck Confit with Mashed Potato (S$12)? Boasting a crispy blowtorched skin, the extremely tender duck leg is accompanied with house-made coleslaw, mashed potato and corn on the cob. For such an atas dish, this price is not bad wor

Be prepared for a long wait time during lunch hours though.

5. II Piccolo Pizzeria

PICCOLO PIZZERIA - STOREFRONT

This shouldn’t be unfamiliar to you. Opened by a chef-turned-hawker, II Piccolo Pizzeria is a fan-favourite at Toa Payoh Central.

Showcasing a huge selection of dishes in traditional Italian names, the stall offers unique options that are uncommonly found at our local coffee shops.

PICCOLO PIZZERIA - BOLOGNESE

To mention just a few, The Gnocchi Di Patate (S$7) are plump and pillowy soft potato dumplings, which makes them so easy to eat. Accompanied with asparagus and mushroom, the creamy tomato sauce was flavourful, and not surfeiting. Italian classics, anyone? Nestled in a rich pool of cream sauce, the iconic Beef Lasagna (S$7.50) is generously layered with beef and tomato

According to Celest, this “hit the spot”.

7. Wild Olives

WILD OLIVES - STOREFRONT

WAH, this is another hole-in-the-wall Pasta Place. Wild Olives at the hip Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre. Featured in a previous SethLui video from 2020, the hawker stall is helmed by a husband and wife duo who both quit their jobs to establish their first endeavour.

Apparently, it’s so good that customers would travel across Singapore to get a share of their pasta. HUH. But you’ll see why.

WILD OLIVES -MEATBALL SPAGHETTI

Their array of delicious dishes includes Fusilli di Bosco (S$7.20) in creamy mushroom sauce with a choice of Chicken/ Ham/ Sausage/ Bacon as well as the Handmade Meatball Bolognese (S$7.20) that is doused in ‘tangy tomato sauce’.

Sous Vide?!

Upon bitten, the chicken has a satisfying crunch that flaunts the juicy meat within. And not to mention the al dente pasta, which is perfumed with just the right amount of spice.
