Pasta cravings satisfied at LINO Pasta Bar!

I was pleasantly surprised at how value-for-money the “Mad About Pasta Tasting Menu” was at LINO Pasta Bar. For just S$32++, I got an appetiser, three pastas and a dessert. Take note that it’s only available for dinner service!

Though the appetisers and dessert were satisfying, the pastas - of course - were the main stars of the show. They’ve each been down scaled to a 50g portion so that one would be able to try different pastas without getting too full.

1. Cold angel hair pasta with yuzu, salted seaweed and ikura - simply delicious, nicely seasoned and those globules of salmon roe were fresh and magical.

2. Penne, spicy tomato sauce, pancetta, Italian sausage - a hearty and homely dish. The penne trapped the addictively spicy sauce that ensured a kick with each bite. The pancetta and sausage added a nice saltiness to the pasta.

3. Rigatoni oxtail in Tiger Beer and black pepper sauce, arugula - this was a winner. The oxtail was wonderfully tender and the black pepper sauce with a hint of alcohol was brilliantly luscious.

Overall, it was a simple, homely and good meal that didn’t break the bank. I’ll definitely come back again to satiate my pasta cravings.
