The once brightly lit restaurant with clean defined furnishing aimed at executive diners has been recently revamped to a more cosy italian rustic settings. I understand from the staff that the revamp is primarily due to a change of its master chef which explains a total change of menu.
The new menu consist of a a more limited choices of its pastas, pizzas, mains and desserts. Likewise, the service crew now adopts a more causal serving approach from its 'choose-it-yourself' anti-pasti corner to the complimentary choices of bread brought around in a basket for a more personal touch.
Gone also is the 'Sparkling or Still?' the moment you are seated.
To kick start the meal, we ordered 2 variety of anti-pasti at the anti-pasti corner.
Smoked Salmon Bruschetta (S$4.00 each)
\Seafood Salad (S$4.00 each)
The Bruschetta was nicely toasted with a parlsey and cream cheese (I guess) spread while the seafood salad, the portion of at most 3 spoonfuls, was well mixed with a right amount of olive oil and lemon dressing to whet your appetite.
Now, the mains.
We ordered a set dinner (S$55.00) and a seafood linguine (S$27.00).
The set dinner consists of a hearty bowl of chunky mushroom soup, arrabiata penne, grilled cod fish and tiramisu.
Dishes worth a mention are its wholesome mushroom soup and very tender grilled cod fish with fresh and juicy tomatoes on vines.
However, I personally feel that the penne was a tad overcooked and its tiramisu not as light and concentrated as its previous version offered before the revamp.
