To say this place was popular would be an under-exaggeration - I think there was a period of time where my IG and Tiktok feeds were flooded with influencers raving about the quality and affordability of Chicco's pasta. As always, i had to try it to believe it.

Cauliflower ($14) - Half a head of cauliflower that was tender and the torched exterior was where the best bits were, but otherwise didn't have much of a taste in itself. Garlic chilli sauce was the saving grace but we also did not fancy it that much.

Mafaldine ($24) - What everyone and their pets were raving about. First things first, the spanner crab & bisque sauce was outstanding. Creamy and packing a briney-crabby punch, I daresay I would lick the plate if I could. However, the texture of the mafaldine was slightly off, on the mushier side which I thought was a let-down.

Pistachio Tiramisu ($12) - Visually impressive, taste-wise I thought was better than average as well. Very generous with the pistachio bits, and the crunchy-nuttiness worked well with the coffee mascarpone. Only thing was that I thought the coffee taste could have been more pronounced, felt like it faded away beneath the sweetness.

Overall, a decent place for pasta, but don't sell it too high to your date.
