Osteria Mozza

Osteria Mozza has solidified its reputation as one of the top destinations in Singapore for pasta and pizza, and my recent visit only reinforced that sentiment. The combination of thoughtful ingredients, masterful execution, and a festive seasonal touch made this dining experience exceptional.

Smoked Turkey & Candied Bacon Pizza
From the moment this festive special hit the table, I knew it was going to be memorable. The smoky, savory turkey paired perfectly with the sweet, caramelized candied bacon. The squash and cranberry added a delightful contrast, while the fried sage offered an earthy depth. The star, however, was the crust—expertly charred in their wood-fire oven, it was the perfect balance of crisp and chewy.

Orecchiette
The orecchiette with sausage and Swiss chard was a comforting bowl of pasta bliss. Cooked impeccably al dente, each bite offered a delightful chew. The sausage brought a hearty, flavorful kick, while the Swiss chard added a subtle bitterness that balanced the dish. This was Italian comfort food at its finest.

Nancy's Caesar Salad
It’s no wonder this Caesar salad has achieved world-famous status. The egg leeks lent a rich, creamy element, while the anchovy crostini delivered a punchy, umami bite. Fresh, crisp greens tied everything together for a refreshing start to the meal.

bacon, salame, fennel sausage, pancetta, tomato, mozzarella

fontina, taleggio, thyme

olive oil gelato, fried rosemary

The olive oil gelato was interesting, it had a distinct salty-sweet flavour and was quite pleasant. It went well with the olive oil cake, which was warm and moist with a coarse crumb, and lightly sweet. I liked the fried rosemary, which was lightly crunchy and aromatic!

Panna Cotta, saba, acèto balsamico tradizionale di Moderna

Didn’t really think this was worth - we were attracted by the word fig LOL but the crostata (kinda like a tart/pie) was disappointing, neither crisp nor flaky, just soft and underwhelming. The fig part was nice, as dried figs were used, so it was sweet and slightly chewy, with the crunchiness of the seeds. Panna cotta was jiggly and soft but melted way too quickly.

mustard vinaigrette, breadcrumbs

Burrata was delish - cold, refreshing, creamy, it was good burrata. It came with breadcrumbs, so it had a nice crisp element, and the mustard vinaigrette on the leeks were flavourful, umami and sour. The colours don’t look v beautiful but the taste is pretty good!
