Tipo 00

Reservations are required a month if not two in advance or walk-in and wait around an hour. My second time here and still blown away by the quality and texture of their pastas and their accompanying sauce. The #gnocchi were almost like soft potatoes, really soft yet not mushy and paired with a tasty braised duck. However, it does get a bit filling and heavy so would recommend not eating it alone. We also got the special of the day - a spaghetti with tuna and anchovies and it was delicious and flavourful. We also tried their #passionfruitpannacotta which had a nice texture and wasn’t too sweet

All hand-made, the pastas are of amazing texture. Each of the sauces were also really well-balanced and our favorite sauce was the tomato wagyu one that was the special pasta of the day. The rabbit pasta we felt had the best pasta and the rabbit meat was incredibly tender. For squid ink, it wasn’t rich or thick as most places do and more of a lighter citrus-y version and we were divided, with some enjoying this version more than others. They also serve a delicious complimentary garlic basil bread and the ox tail appetizer was really tender and flavorful meat.

Panna cotta was unfortunately a bit firm for my liking - I love mine wobbly and barely holdings it's shape! But I loved the citrus flavours which were a nice change from the usual berry flavours. Slight bitterness from the grapefruit but it contrasted well with the sour lemon curd and sweet honeycomb bits.

A play on the traditional tiramisu flavours, but in a tart instead. The smooth and decadent chocolate was offset nicely by the slightly bitter chocolate coffee sauce. Dollops of light mascarpone cream topped off this rich dessert. Usually not a fan of rich desserts (especially after pasta!) but this was delicious. Quite a large portion so share it with friends.

This was the highlight of our dinner. Thin, chewy homemade pasta wrapped around a deliciously savoury filling of mushroom. This was so so so good.

That braised duck was seriously good, and they were very generous with the meat. Super delicious. The gnocchi was pillowy and melted in the mouth, but I would personally prefer a bit more bite to my gnocchi.
