[CLOSED] in ITALY Bar Ristorante

A lemon liqueur soufflé so soft and fluffy that it melts right into your mouth. The taste of liqueur and lemon is quite distinct too. Yummy yummy yum yum yum. Posted by Ah Leong San 2016 May 19

After one final stint as Chef Patron at Forlino Restaurant, Chef Mario Caramella decided it was time to finally realise the dream of opening his very own place after a 30-year career across the globe. Don't come expecting a hoity-toity white linen restaurant — inITALY is as cosy as your imaginary Italian grandmother’s house, tastefully decorated with lavish touches. Instead of the usual Burrata ($30), go for the irresistible Stracciatella ($24) and fall in love with the fresh gooey cheese served with stewed Sicilian eggplant caponata and roasted hazelnuts — so good you’ll want to lick the bowl clean! A trip here wouldn’t be complete without trying at least one of his homemade pasta dishes, guaranteed to be cooked perfectly al dente and tossed in rich, flavour-packed sauces. Don’t dismiss the Specials board as the freshest catch and seasonal goodies often end up here. Portions are generous here so be sure to bring more friends (or a big appetite)!

I was looking for a place with really good pasta and ambience. The ambience was intimate yet casual, while the pasta was didn't hit the high expectations. Enjoyed the spicy kick of the pasta, but the prawns were nothing to shout about. Get this if you want something safe that checks the box.

The broth flavour was essentially clams dancing naked with tomatoes under the moonlight, whilst the assortment of seafood on hand was generous in portion, varied and tasty enough to make me a very, very happy man. Special props to Mr. Lobster, who was really phat and stood proudly with chest puffed out. 4/5

Essentially what happens when macaroni-esque pasta and nicely salty bacon bits (with a few random ‘roomies) party it up in a creamy butter factory. 3.8/5
