Aglio Alright ($19.90) - Tiger prawns | EVOO | Garlic Confit | Sous Vide Egg | Grana Padano. I thought the flavours and texture were all over the place; was expecting an aglio olio style pasta but the egg made it creamy and muted the garlic flavour. Also, made a mistake and added the bird's eye chilli which was so so spicy haha!

Creamy Crab ($24.90) - Crabmeat | Garlic Cream Sauce. This was delicious! Generous lumps of crabmeat, paired very well with the addictive, garlicky, creamy sauce. Adding additional garlic chips and chilli flakes was a good touch too.

Overall, Tipo has a wide selection of house special pastas and their fresh pasta choices were also good, albeit I couldn't really taste much of it. However, the place was quite cramped and echoey, and on the night we visited there was a large group with kids seated right in the middle of the restaurant. The kids were running around and made a huge ruckus, with us unfortunately being seated right beside them. We just quickly finished our meal and left the venue before the annoyance level creeped up. Perhaps the large tables could be situated at the corner of the restaurant to minimise such disturbances.

A premium dish but good lah. Unique pasta, enjoyable garlic cream sauce and just overall a very refined meal. They convinced me they're not run-of-the-mill.

Ordered No Way Jose which is a nice twist of the typical pepperoni pizza. The dough was soft and chewy and the toppings were really flavourful. Absolutely love the combination. This is easily one of the best pizzas i have had in Singapore.

Was craving for pasta and this really satisfied my cravings. The pasta was unique and nicely cooked. The sauce was really savory with a hinr of orange which made it really unique too. Overall, strongly recommend. On the pricier though ($26)

A halal italian restaurant with pretty interior situated at Waterloo Street.

Had the roasted chicken leg with balsamic glaze, potato gratin and rosemary jus at $28. The chicken was cooked to perfection, but the star of the dish was the potato gratin! It was cheesy, luxurious and thoroughly indulgent...

Came back to Tipo's Pizzeria and got to try a bit of most categories on the menu! We had a No Way Josė Pizza which has alfredo topped with beef chorizo, pepperoni, sweet corn salsa, pickled jalapeños, feta and garlic. This was a rather unique combination of flavours and textures, I enjoyed this along with their thin pizza crust! The Wild Mushroom Pasta featured cep and swiss brown mushrooms with cream and sage butter. This was tasty but better shared as the flavour was rather one dimensional to me. The Fat Wings have garlic and rosemary stuffing in boneless chicken wing served with harissa pomodoro, these were crispy and the texture was good but I feel that the flavours were not delivered as promised in the description and the harissa pomodoro could have had a lot more spice!

There was a long waiting time in between our items causing us to feel full faster with all the rest in between but generally the pizzas here are good and it's a nice place to eat at!
