👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The pasta tastes plain, the sauce was thick but it seems like there's a lot of cream, it's not the crab taste that takes the centre stage. It's not too bad, unique I guess because of how they executed.

Overall not a very impressive place, alr my second time here esp after their menu changed(they even removed ossobuco)

NO MORE PUMPKIN MEZZELUNE

Big but not very good. Rather loosely packed, not very meaty. The tomato sauce however was very punchy

The scotch eggs were soooo good, it’s like a flavours explosion in your mouth. It’s good on its own but if you find it a tad salty, pair it with the toast that has smashed avocados, green peas, carrots, mint leaves, lemon and grated pecorino. It’s a marriage of flavours done well.

[NATIONAL PIZZA DAY 🍕] Did you know 9 Feb marks National Pizza Day?

A throwback to this hand-stretched pizza which was done under 3 minutes (yes, we counted)! From the time they took the dough, to stretching, to adding a base followed by toppings, and into the oven to be rotated before being sent to our table; all these happened within a span of 3 minutes 😮

While we stand (or sit rather) amazed, the whiffs of freshly baked sourdough pizza perfumed the air, as we delicately tear off each piece and dive right into it. The light fluffy & charred dough is accompanied by a slightly sweet yet tart tomato base and topped with perfectly melted mozzarella & crispy bits of basil, creating a great Magherita pizza.

✨Bosco d’Inverno Pizza✨
I was actually really excited to try this wood fired pizza, especially since we sat next to the oven overlooking the whole process! Sadly, the pizza was not mind-blowingly special like the pasta, but it was still better than average. I was also a little disappointed when the truffle taste was quite faint, even though it was supposed to be the main ingredient of the pizza. The pizza crust is more chewy and fluffy, instead of hard and crispy. You can taste the burnt charcoal flavour from the crust, but besides that, there was not much fragrance to it. The cheese and mushrooms were the ones that stood out to me. It made this pizza really creamy and slightly sweet. Although this is not the best pizza I’ve tried, it’s still pretty decent, but I would prefer to order the pasta instead.
