Looking for Italian places?

We saw this in The White Lotus so ordered haha. They're risotto rice balls stuffed with buffala, mozzarella and carrot purée. Unfortunately kinda normal.

I love pesto and this did not disappoint. Together with pine nuts, cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, it's simple and lovely.

I should not like gnocchi since I only like noodle pasta, but it's the one thing I often order. Here did not disappoint. Slightly salty, it's a skilful plate despite the simplicity.

Sautéed tiger prawns, eggs, guacamole, mesclun salad, vine cherry tomatoes & sourdough. Since I had my eggs done sunny side up previously, I decided to go with scrambled eggs for this to try the difference with nuyolk eggs. The eggs did turn out more orangey than usual but I preferred the yolk on my sunny side up where I get to taste the creaminess of it. The prawns were grilled until fragrant but a little overcooked as the shells were sticking to the flesh. I love the guacamole for its creamy texture, mildly sweet and nutty flavour.

A nice cosy place to dine and chill over well-ventilated and sheltered outdoor seating. They serve a limited brunch menu till 3pm on weekends and PH. The smoked salmon came with two eggs done in my choice of sunny side up, dill mayonnaise, mesclun salad, vine cherry tomatoes & sourdough. They use nuyolk eggs which have multi benefits and a distinct orange yolk. I also like the use of tomatoes on vines instead of the usual cherry tomatoes. Just simple and no-frills brunch with premium ingredients used. Perfect for my late bunch where the portion is not too heavy and filling. This is even better with the Beyond deal.

Came by for post-dinner drinks but couldn't resist trying something off their extensive menu. We got the Pollo pizza ($28) and the Lasagna ($27) to share. The pizza had generous chicken chunks over a delicious tomato sauce base, with the onions and green chilli lending a nice crunch and zing to every bite. However, the lasagna was a clear standout - the excellent tomato sauce was further amplified here, mixed with the meatiness of the beef ragout. We polished this off in no time, and would have licked off the sauce if we could! Happy hour was also great, with our Menabrea tower only costing $59, and if you have Burpple this would be a very value for money dinner and drinks hangout.

We came on a weekend, so maybe the menu is more reduced, but besides starters and desserts, they only have pizzas. No pasta, or mains. The pizzas are very good, but there are other places in Singapore where the pizzas are as scrumptious and with more options. At $70 per pax, it’s extremely poor value.

Guccio Ristorante offers an intimate glimpse into Chef Marco Guccio's heritage and passion for authentic Italian cuisine. Hailing from Milan, this is where he brings his family's Italian heritage to life - with recipes passed down from his grandmother and mother, every dish here is a testament to his dedication, with all items meticulously crafted in-house—including the warm, inviting starter bread.

We started with the Gamberi, featuring New Zealand prawns tartare bathed in a delicate pomegranate broth and crowned with Oscietra caviar. The prawns were impeccably fresh, their sweetness harmonizing beautifully with the subtle tartness of the broth, while the caviar added a luxurious briny depth.

Next, the Capesante — a plate of pan-seared Hokkaido scallops resting on a velvety pumpkin cream, adorned with raspberry pearl onions and trout roe. The scallops boasted a perfect sear, their natural sweetness enhanced by the creamy pumpkin and the gentle acidity of the onions, creating a symphony of flavors and textures.

For pasta, we had the Tortelli - delicate parcels filled with creamy burrata cheese, enveloped in a rich tomato passata and accompanied by marinated tomatoes infused with Sicilian oregano. Each bite was a comforting embrace, the pasta tender and the filling decadently creamy, evoking the warmth of a home-cooked Italian meal.

The main course featured the Maialino, a dish of slow-cooked Spanish suckling pig paired with a red apple compote and seasonal Romanesco broccoli. The pork was exquisitely tender, its savory richness complemented by the sweet tang of the apple compote, while the Romanesco added a delightful crunch and earthiness to the plate.

To conclude this culinary journey, I savored the Tiramisu, a cherished recipe from Chef Marco's mother, prepared just as it was during his childhood. This classic dessert was a nostalgic delight, with layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream coming together in perfect harmony, offering a sweet and satisfying end to the meal.

The warm ambiance, attentive service, and heartfelt dishes make it a must-visit destination for those seeking a genuine taste of Italy in the heart of Singapore.
