Honestly, this was an A+ meal.

We came for my dad’s birthday and shared a variety of dishes, the star of which was the Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a 1kg T-bone steak. We all like our meat a little red so we went for medium rare, and as you can see, it was perfect. It had those beautiful grill marks on the outside, a luscious red interior, and was incredibly tender. Some of the pieces on the outer parts of the steak were a little more cooked, around medium, while the inner pieces were rarer. The dish also came with roasted potatoes and cannellini beans.

We were here on a Monday evening, so it was a bit quieter and more enjoyable but still enough of a crowd for a buzz. Our waiter was attentive and quite friendly, knowing how to give recommendations and advice on the dishes and portion sizes as well as treating my dad to an additional glass of Grappa at the end of our meal. My dad had ordered one type and the waiter also gave him another type to try.

It’s definitely an authentic Italian restaurant, one of the few in my opinion, in Singapore, and worth paying a little more for. Be sure to ask for an indoor table if you want to be in the AC, as the tables outside can be a bit humid even with the fans on.
