We had
- Burrata from Puglia & Proscuitto from Parma w Roasted Tomatoes & Italian Foccacia ($25)
- Signature Pork Cheek ($19)
- Squid Ink Paella ($34 for 1-2pax)
- Micasa Famous Churros served w/ Dark Chocolate & Lemon Curd ($7.5 for 3 pieces, $12 for 5 pieces)

The burrata with the foccacia was great, the pork cheek was a bit meh to me, probably could have tried the beef instead. The Squid Ink Paella was flavourful with generous amount of ingredients. The Churros were thinner than I expected, the lemon Curd is a good sauce to dip in with it.

Overall, a good place to try but for the price point, I expected more. It will be hard to get a parking lot given the location

The total bill cost us about $100

3/5

Worthhhh. It was crispy on the outside and super tender on the inside. Their garlic sauce and chickpea puree was so so flavourful as well!

All the food here was honestly so good I don’t even know where to begin! We got the Mixed Charcuterie Board, focaccia with Melted Camembert Fondue, Angus Ribeye, Seafood Paella, Pork Meatballs Pasta and Sangria. My favourite was the meatball pasta (which I sadly didn’t get a picture of) which was full of tomatoey goodness! The paella came with generous portions of seafood, while the ribeye was nicely seared on the outside and tender inside (special shout-out to the side of potatoes which stole the show). We all unanimously favoured the prosciutto in the charcuterie board, which went really well with the Camembert and bread 😋 Genuinely a great place with friendly staff and a chill atmosphere. Will definitely be back again!

We ordered paella, pork cheek, crab bongo stew and prawns. Definitely think it's not worth the high reviews and price. Food was alright but no wow factor. Pork cheek was extremely oily as seen in photo. There was more oil than the mustard sauce itself :( quite disappointed.

This is the medium size, because small ($15) is only available for lunch. Generous with the seafood, and I especially liked the raisins that came in the rice that added a nice sweetness to it. I'd suggest getting a counter seat to watch the chefs in action - makes the meal so much more fun!
