* This place has closed :( Please try somewhere else. * Nestled in amongst the heritage-chic shophouses of China Square Central is &SONS, a hip, buzzy bacaro that embraces the very best of Italian bar traditions with modern sensibility. Just like stepping into a bacaro lined along the streets of Venice, &SONS brings a wonderfully relaxed, convivial environment and an artisanal menu of Italian small plates and sleek, sinful cocktails available all day.

Read about this place on a food review blog so decided to give it a try. Used the entertainer 1 for 1 so it was about 25 bucks for 2 pastas. I was not impressed at all, the uni did not really shine, so it seemed like a sweetened cream pasta with a weird after taste. Maybe I am biased or old school but covering the pasta with sauce and blow torching it is a tad pretentious as well. The balance of the flavours could be worked better, for example with less sauce in the pasta, incorporating the sauce as opposed to slathering it over (the pasta inside had no sauce), and balancing the sweetness with the cream more salty elements.

This dish is definitely value for money. Taste excellent and is tender. The 2 pasta dish that was tried was just average thou.

Returning to this place for the 1000th times, that is how good their food are.

Recently, they have announced their closing down, and I decided to bring my family to once again try their wide array of dishes (we nearly ordered their whole menu 😂)

So what stood out particularly are as follows:

1) Appetizers

i) Baked eggplants—Nothing particularly stood out but it was a homely sort of comfort food

ii) Baccala cake with sea urchin (Must-try)— Just loved how the cakes go so well when dipped in the thick, flavorful sea urchin paste

2) Mains

i) Duck Confit—A little too dry for my taste...but still worth a shot

ii) Sea urchin carbonara—-There’s something so alluring about their sea urchin sauce

iii) Kale Ravioli— Ravioli not too chewy, has the right consistency. Bursting with umami.

iv) Wagyu beef cheeks (Must-try)— Wagyu just melts in your mouth. Paired with mash potato, the flavor is elevated. But on its on, Wagyu is good enough!

3) Desserts

i) Molten Lava cake paired with vanilla Gelato — The lusciousness of the molten chocolate cake paired with a refreshing gelato elevated this dessert so much! Chocolate cake’s outer layer has just the right tinge of crispness too!

ii) Mango cheesecake— Love how the different layers of the cheesecake come together, very harmonious flavor profile

iii) Tiramisu—something a cut above the rest of the tiramisu, accentuates a very homely feel

[MEDIA] Aromatic truffle paste and melted smoked cheese come together with sautéed shimeji mushrooms to yield earthy flavours with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, with a luxurious shaving of fresh truffles adding a finishing touch. [$15]

[MEDIA] SONS deserves credit for its tasteful presentation of its dishes, like this Duck Leg Confit with Cannellini & Cherry Tomatoes [$26]. While the golden crispy skin is delightful to crunch into, it is however let down by the dry meat within. A touch (or a few) more of moistness in the meat would have done the trick.

Located amongst the heritage-chic shophouses along Nankin Row (at @chinasquarecentral) is @sons.singapore, a buzzy rustic trattoria-style bar and restaurant that serves classic Italian fare with a touch of modernity. They also have a curated list of Italian wines🥂, craft beers🍻 & cocktails🍹 to enhance your dining experience.

It was my first time having this Sicilian twisted tube-shaped pasta which actually holds the truffle pesto sauce pretty well. However, I didn’t exactly like the texture of this pasta as it was kinda doughy for me. Overall, it was still a pretty decent meal.

Wanted to try their Spaghetti with Sea Urchin Carbonara but most reviews stated that the flavour was quite one-dimensional, with not much hint of sea urchin.
