Italian Food! 🇮🇹

We learnt from our previous visit that they do their pasta better than their pizzas. This time, we ordered the Pancetta tortellini & Chef-special seafood marinara (tomato base). The Pancetta tortellini was extremely flavorful bc of the bacon oil (bacon fans will go gaga over this), but we felt that it was a tad bit too salty. The dish was good, but it could’ve been more enjoyable if there was an appropriate portion of tortellini to match the amount of bacon on the plate. We made a good decision to choose the seafood marinara to accompany our first dish because the lightness and sweetness of the tomato sauce was a refreshing break from the heavy/ salty pancetta tortellini. Perhaps the sauce could have been thicker and more tangy for it to be a stronger dish on its own. With that being said, there was a good amount of seafood on the plate which made it a bang for the buck 😊🤭👍🏻 the tiger prawns were also very succulent!

It was our 1st time here for Burpple 1-for-1 as we were near the area and we decided to get the Tortellini Truffle (above) and Parma di Rucola (below). The Tortellini Truffle was topped with generous amount of mushroom truffle cream sauce. The tortellini was stuffed with four different types of cheeses, and when paired with the sauce, was really delicious. If you are a mushroom truffle fan, this dish is highly recommended! However, the parma-ham pizza was a disappointment!! The crust was too thin and dry and the parma-ham was looked and tasted old. It felt like we were eating dry crackers with a month old parma-ham. Please save yourself and do not get it! This must be the reason why they are called "Pasta E Formaggio" instead of "Pizza E Formaggio" 🙃. Would come back for their pastas!!

We read previous reviews and were really looking forward to their truffle pasta but it wasn’t on the menu anymore. With only 4 pasta options, we selected the pescatore and laksa pasta to try. The pescatore was mediocre; the sauce wasn’t as flavorful as we expected it to be and the pasta was not al dante. However, the prawns were really juicy and fresh. The laksa pasta was the saving grace because the sauce was really fragrant and flavorful. Each strand of pasta was generously coated with the sauce and the tiger prawns were really sweet! We wiped the plate clean. However, we agreed that even with burpple 1 for 1, the two pasta dishes were not worth $30 (GST included).
