Al Borgo (Bukit Timah)

So we got the Pappardelle alla boscaiola ($25) and Spaghetti e polpa Di granchio ($28).

The Pappardelle was really good. Pasta was a little softer than Al dente, the way I like it. And it was flavourful with a good amount of mushroom. However I felt like I couldn't taste the beef so I'm not sure if they minced it such that I couldn't really get the meat texture.

The spaghetti had a good kick to it from the chilli crab. It was also creamy yet not too overwhelmingly so. It was my favourite dish from here.

Overall I think the pastas are better than the pizzas here.

Ambience was nice and quiet on weekday night.

The Bulafa pizza was a bit dull for me. The flavour was quite flat in my opinion. But my friend really enjoyed it so it depends on how much you like mozzarella I guess.

The beef pizza was a little disappointing. The toppings were quite sparse and the beef was just average.

For both pizzas, the crust were thin and yet gave a good enough bite. It was crispy and held the toppings well. I think this was my favourite part of the pizzas.

Tagliatelle Florence ($29) handmade tagliatelle tossed with homemade Italian sausage, mushrooms and truffle combined in a light cream sauce. The pasta itself was excellent, sausage was tasty as well. However, I felt the overall dish lacked the punch in flavor that I was looking forward to. It was tasty but not particularly special.

Al Borgo Pizza ($32) homemade Italian sausage and shrimp on a light white sauce base, with generous amounts of cheese and truffle flavor, topped with greens and cherry tomatoes. This was pretty good, all ingredients used were fresh, the crust was excellent as well.

Much comfort food feels! Did not expect the Kobe beef slices to be done in a slow cooked style but was still good! Very clean tasting dish and not too filling.

This platter was such a delight!! Roll the prosciutto together with the cheese and wild rockets and you have heaven in your mouth... so worth it. Fresh ingredients and love how the cheese is so mild that it complements the saltiness of the prosciutto. Would totally just order this as my main!
