[CLOSED] Casa MANINI

✨Burrata Pizza✨
The burrata was fresh and juicy, never thought it would go so well with pizza! The pizza is thinly sliced and the toppings were prepared well! Really enjoyed this pizza😋 The crust is slightly dry though.

💰: $26

💼Staff review:
The staff here are so friendly. They would strike up a conversation with you and make you feel homely☺️

Tiramisu @ $10

Probably the best dish among the three that we ordered (mamma's lasagna and prosciutto e funghi pizza), it's quite tasty and can taste the rum quite well :)

Mamma's lasagna @ $21

The taste is quite good, but nothing extraordinary even though it's supposed to be their star dish. Quite a generous amount of fillings and the tomato sauce is not too bad too.

Prosciutto e funghi @ $20

Had higher expectations of this pizza as we are looking for something closer to authentic Italian pizza and this place is supposedly a homely Italian restaurant.

The crust and base is not bad, the taste is so-so. The mushrooms and ham dont taste very fresh or exquisitely sourced to make this more authentic, more like store bought.

If I ever decide to go back (quite unlikely), probably will choose a pasta dish to try.

This restaurant is a gem. From the outside, it resembles a flower shop. The ambience is cozy and the staff are welcoming! The must try dishes are the Mamma’s lasagna, Burrata con prosciutto di Parma and Rigatoni al brasato di manzo.
Taste: 4.5/5⭐️

The menu was so extensive here that my date and I had to take our time to scrutinize before finally deciding on these!

We ordered an appetizer to share, calamari e gamberi fritti, which is a basket of deep-fried shrimps and calamari. Freshly fried and absolutely yummy!

I decided on the gnocchi bolognese - my first time trying gnocchi. The pasta was chewy and dense, yet softer than a classic tteokbokki. The sauce was tangy and savory. Not bad.

My date had their risotto al funghi. Mushrooms were good! At the end of the meal, there was not a single grain left on his plate. The lady boss joked that she doesn’t have to wash it hehehe.

A very homey, welcoming space. I’d love to return and try other dishes here! Remember to make a rsvp before heading down :)
