La Pizzaiola

Recommended by a friend that this restaurant has really good pasta. I dun usually took pasta in restaurant but the picture she showed me looked good and tempting. They are famous with their pizza too. You can view the full menu HERE. Total bill damage for the dinner $36.25 for 2 dishes. I would said that is quite reasonable for its quality.

Quattro Stagioni($15.9++)[Tomato, mozzarella, artichokes, ham, mushrooms and olives] - I love this pizza. The skin is thin and crispy. The topping just matched greatly.

Pizzoccheri Della Valtellina($14.9++)[Hand-made whole grain pasta with butter, sage, potato and cheese] - very special pasta. I see some similar prata in this way but not pasta. It is covered by the puff skin and is crispy, smelled good. If you like cheese, I think you will like it a lot. Overall, tasted quite good, the hand-made pasta doesn't taste the usual we had but texture is good. However, comparable I prefer pizza more.

I suddenly spotted this special oven when I saw a chef put in a pizza, only then I know this is for pizza. The shape is very special,  it is made in Italy and it's one of its kind in Singapore. The inside of our 1 tone gas fired machine is heated over 300 degree to ensure a best crisp and chewiness desired of the pizza crust. The rotating base of the oven ensures that every pizza is cooked evenly and consistently.

Da Paolo Ristorante

My boy friend said he wanted to eat ice-cream and my girl friend like Italian food, so I chose this restaurant for dinner and The Daily Scoop for our dessert place. I seldom went to Italian restaurant, normally we just went to those restaurant that sale all kind of western food as you have more choices.

This is one of the restaurant under Da Paolo group. I especially like Da Paolo's tiramisu, it is one of the best I had in Singapore. There was not much people when we reached but later after 8pm, people started to dine in.

The bread was served complimentary with the vineger and olive oil. My girl friend felt bad to have bread with oil but it is fine for me. It is soft and best to had it warm.

Branzino alla Mugnaia($34) - Pan Fried Sea Bass, celeriac Cream, Lemon Butter Sauce. The fish is average if compare to the pasta. Nothing very special of this except you see something like the fried dumpling skin served with it.

Tagliolini all'Aragosta($29) - Tagliolini, Slipper Lobter, Cherry Tomatoes, Asparagus. This is nice with the taste of the lobster and the vegetables. I wonder how it prepared.

Special Pasta($30) - This is not on the menu, they seems to have some chef  recommended dish on the day itself. It was kind of tomato sauce with cheese, I dun really tasted what is the ingredient but I love this very much. It served with 2 fresh tiger prawn.

Overall, I feel it is quite pricey for a dinner. The pasta tasted much nicer than the meaty main course.
