It's not gamey at all, and the thick chunky meat sauce carries bright vegetal meaty savoury sweet flavour, nicely appetizing.

This was the special off-menu pizza-of-the-day during our visit.
.
This has a crisp chewy fluffy pizza crust with smoky bready toasty sweet savoury flavour, and is garnished with a white sauce of gooey mozzarella cheese, crisp rucola / rocket leaves / arugula, juicy cherry tomatoes, tender hand formed skinless pork sausage chunks, soft white onions, and bouncy burrata cheese balls (of cow's cheese and cream), drizzled with lashings of balsamic vinegar.
.
The result is a complex yet pleasant combination of cheesy salty vegetal bitter herbal sweet earthy sour meaty savoury milky flavours. Loved this.

Love the presentation of this dessert, which is served in a hollowed lemon.
.
The creamy icy lemon sorbet holds sharp punchy sour sweet flavour, intense yet palate cleansing.
.
Great way to finish a meal, but best to finish your wine first, else, this just eliminates the taste.

my go to orders!!! real tasty even when packed to go. tiramisu is great too (and durian tiramisu is a must order during the season, tho a tad pricey)
I’ve been coming here since 2018 (picking up food during CB as well) and everything is great! it’s hard to find authentic Italian food but this place hits it spot on. service is great and everyone is real friendly.
One of the really stand out and recommended dishes here. The pappardelle was well cooked (a bit thicker than you get at fine dining restaurants but had a good bite) and the sauce was flavorful and rich.
This place is quite off the beaten path in a quiet area near Bishan. The place has a cozy atmosphere. Food was great, nice home cooked type Italian fare. Rustic and bold flavors, done very well. Picture here was the rub-eye, which was grilled perfectly.
I had this with the complimentary bread given. A great appetizer that is sweet and sour, whetting my appetite for the main courses to come.
The manager poured a dash of orange liqueur inside and flambed the cake tableside! It was the most over the top presentation but it worked so well taste-wise; it melted the cake into a perfect gooey center and left that tiny tinge of orange flavor lingering at that back of your palate. It went really well with the incredibly rich, decadent chocolatey flavor of the cake.
I think what was lacking the most was temperature contrast; it would have been elevated to a 9 or 9.5 served with a scoop of ice cream or some flavored whipped cream.

An absolute classic pizza ($18.50) and my favorite flavor of pizza. Fired to order using fresh dough made with Italian flours by chef Mimmo (you can see him working and sipping wine in the kitchen 😂), the pizza was perfection and worth the wait.
A crispy hot base acted as the perfect vessel for the tomato sauce which was tangy and not too sweet (obviously house-made) and the cheese which is in the right amount; not too overwhelming and oily. I was telling my dining partner repeatedly this is the best pizza I've ever had and making noises of satisfaction in between bites. It stayed warm for ages as my dining partner and I nibbled on it, wanting to prolong the experience. It's really really good.

A special main course off the Valentine's Day💕 menu, this 250gm, perfectly marbled wagyu steak came resting on a bed of leaves with rosemary potatoes and a sauce made from the beef juices.
It was done medium which was surprisingly just nice. While it was beautifully seasoned (drizzle of vinaigrette, salt and the beef jus sauce) and really tender, I felt that it definitely wasn't the best steak I've had in my life and didn't justify the $82 price tag. Perhaps it just wasn't fatty enough, or I just prefer the grilled smokey taste for my meat which wasn't present here. The potatoes were really good though; fork tender and super flavorful with rosemary.

This is a special off their Valentine's Day💕 menu; freshly made ravioli is stuffed with lobster and paired with a creamy sea urchin brandy sauce.
The plump pillows were full of the mild tasting crustacean, while the sauce was resplendent with the creamy umami of sea urchin. Topped with a little bit of caviar for that salty pop. The other members of the party in the mouth experience included some string beans and cherry tomatoes.
The pasta itself was al dente and unbelievably satisfying with a good stuffing to pasta ratio. Might I also add that it was really aesthetically appealing; that bright red ravioli against the pale creamy sauce. It was the most perfect appetite-whetter to start off a delicious meal.

A short walk from Bishan MRT, this unassuming Italian Restaurant is located next to an industrial estate and rows of landed houses along Jalan Pemimpin.
.
It’s a small cozy restaurant, and it was packed on a Friday evening. We ordered the Funghi pizza and seafood linguine.
.
The seafood linguine was tomato based and it was delicious! The seafood was fresh and the pasta was cooked perfectly in the tangy tomato sauce.
.
The mushroom pizza was pretty basic and average. We were slightly disappointed as we heard good reviews about the pizzas. Nevertheless the portion was decent for the price.
.
We ended the meal with a tiramisu, which was not overly sweet and creamy. They didn’t have the durian tiramisu that many raved about. Perhaps this was not the right season for durians. But the normal tiramisu was good enough to make our bellies happy.
.
Overall, an authentic and lovely Italian restaurant that is worth visiting!

Taste - 4/5
Price - 4/5
First time visiting this restaurant after several failed attempts for walk in table... (and had to reserve this round too) very family oriented ambience, the owner Mimmo is extremely hands on and is seen in the kitchen as well as serving and interacting with customers. Very family friendly Italian dishes, I love the pizza and the pastas. No frills but filled with authenticity! Already planning my next visit back!
Authentic Italian fare at value for money prices. The medium rare ribeye was done really well. Get the wild boar ragu - probably my fave dish of the night. Reminds me of La Pizzaiola a lot. Comfortable and homely setting. Enjoyed myself!
