The Capri in a Cake is a classic limoncello caprese served with Amalfi lemon cream and extra virgin olive oil ice cream. It was cakey, sweet and absolutely tarty and tangy-licious, and the accompanying ice-cream was light and creamy.

Bursting with refreshing flavours, the Burratina tart is prepared with marinated bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and pine nuts; and a creamy burrata cheese as its star front and center. This savoury tart was unbelievably luscious with delightful contrasting textures.

Taste very delicious

Italian cuisine,
Open Fire meaning Outdoor Summer Grill,
Posh setting,
Extensive Menu with Unique Food Items,
Knowing that Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen has all these in place, I know I have to go there to check out this restaurant.

Since I’m here because of the Outdoor Summer Grill, of course I have to order an item from the Open Fire Grill menu. And 5 Pepper Crusted Canadian Pork Chop is my choice. The meat is juicy and so flavourful. The meat surface is grilled to perfection, to have the thin layer of caramelized char flavour of wood and smoke to enhance the overall taste, without overdoing it. And I also love the bunch of sea grapes that comes with the meat. These pops of umami refreshes the palate, so that I can enjoy the gamey flavours of the meat more.

Rustic Bread goes very well with Piennolo Tomato Sauce. I like it that it’s something different from the usual Olive Oil. But I still like Olive Oil nonetheless.

Hokkaido Scallop Crudo White Corn Amalfi Lemon Capers Sauce has me swooning over how good it is. Fresh plump scallops works perfectly with the Amalfi Lemon Capers Sauce for the harmony and complexity in taste. And the white corn deserves a special mention too. Lightly grilled and soaked with the sauce, this sweet corn is so unbelievably good. My companion, who avoids eating veggies, actually finishes up the corn before I can steal in for another bite!

Spaghetti Di Martino Dotterino Tomatoes Italian Seawater is very good. Al dente spaghetti holds lots of flavours due to the sweet tomatoes and the seawater. This dish tends more towards the sweet side over savoury.

But I have to say House-Made Tagliolini Scilian Red Prawn Sardinian Bottarga is the one that impress me more. Not only it impresses me more, it totally makes a big impression on me. Incredibly intense in taste, the tagliolini is bursting with the rich flavours of the sea. The thin texture and eggy flavour of the tagliolini is perfect match with the springy, smooth, umami-rich flesh of Scilian Red Prawn. This is a must-try.

I’m going to head out to a ice-cream parlor nearby after a sumptuous meal here, but somehow, I feel that I got to try a dessert here to complete the experience. And so I did. I’m really glad that I made the right decision. Capri in a Cake Limoncello Caprese Amalfi Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil is unlike any dessert I had. The cake sponge is so soft, fluffy and moist, it is like baked sweet eggy cloud. I love the generous amount of lemon custard sandwiched between the cake sponged. Made with super fresh lemons, it is creamy yet refreshing, balancing the sweet taste of the cake sponge and ice-cream. The ice-cream is very thick and rich, giving the extra oomph to dessert. Olive oil actually works well here. This is also another must-try.

The place is modern and posh, with the kitchen in full view. Great to watch the chefs in action. Despite the Open Fire Grill, the good exhaust system ensures that one will still smell as fresh as when first stepping into the restaurant. The service is immaculate and professional, I’m impressed.

I really love the food here. It is delicious, simulating and unique. Dining here is exceptionally memorable because the food is like no others. I do love to come back again.

Thoughts: Exceptionally awesome food!

💎100 Days Barley-Fed Bone in Ribeye 1kg ($158++) 10/10
Meant for 3-4 pax, we got this in med rare and it was bloody amazing… Comes with a variety of toppings such as mash, mustard seeds and the perfect pairing for me is the beef jus 😍 Ordered some sides - Charcoal Grilled Baby Corn with Brown Butter Sabayon ($10++) which was outstanding and the Cherry Tomato Salad ($12++)

House-made Taglionlini, Sicilian Red Prawn, Bottarga ($26++) 🦐 8/10
The raw prawns in this dish was the highlight and I wished they gave more heh.. Mix it properly otherwise the saltiness from the bottarga will be overly concentrated 🫣

💎Spanish Turbot ($108++) 9/10
This was sooo good, the meat was cooked to perfection and paired well with the accompanying sauce. Lightly salted, it’s delicious even without the sauce

💎Capuccinomisu ($12++) 9/10
An untraditional take on tiramisu, but I still enjoyed this as a tiramisu lover. Spiked with port wine and using chocolate cake instead of spongy fingers, it was so good that I ordered a second serving 🐽

Overall, almost everything ordered were delish and I've been recommending all my friends to visit this place!
