Da Paolo Gastronomia (VivoCity)

Went for Pistachio and the Dark Chocolate here! Both textures were nicely thick, smooth with a good amount of stickiness, but I personally found them too sweet, especially the Pistachio. Flavours were rich though!

I may have found the place with one of the thickest dark chocolate gelato! We got the regular cup ($9) with 2 scoops: 1 pistachio & sweet potato and 1 dark chocolate. The former is very smooth, actually quite rare for many pistachio gelato I've tried. I felt like the sweet potato addition doesn't really complement the pistachio! However the dark chocolate is so good as it is really rich and bold! The gelato texture is wonderfully sticky as well!

Pasta topped with sauce of cream, bacon, egg yolks and parmesan cheese. They’re extremely generous with their bacon and definitely flavourful with the sauce.

Spaghetti with crab meat, Italian tomatoes, crab and parmesan cheese. Hands down one of my favourite and best pasta I’ve eaten. Flavourful yet not jelat.

Been a fan of the chocolate orange combination lately, and it’s even better with coffee in Da Paolo’s version! The orange flavour is quite subtle, but that suits me just fine. It leaves a pleasant citrusy flavour, which balances perfectly with the mocha. None of the elements in this drink overpowered the other, and I really enjoyed the silky mouthfeel of this cup.

Simply can’t pass up pistachio ice cream, and I fell in love with Da Paolo’s pistachio gelato ever since I first tried it!

Very creamy, with a strong pistachio aroma and nuttiness. I sort of wish that there were some crushed pistachios or whole bits of nuts inside but it’s okay - there are other gelato places I turn to for that 😂
