Disappointing pizza & pasta

 We ordered this as one of our appetizers to share. The bread was a bit warm. The red salami were quite spicy. Nothing special

We ordered this salad as another appetizer. It was a bit oily though it tasted quite good with the dressing.

 This lobster pasta required a top-up of $50. There was a choice of either cream or tomato sauce and we went for the latter. The spaghetti was not al dente at all. There was nothing special about the texture, in fact I would say it was below average. The sauce was a bit too salty. I had to say we were really disappointed.

 This pizza also required a top-up of $50. It was better than the pasta, at least it was really hot when served. It smelt very good of black truffle. The mozzarella was quite cheesy with 拉絲! There could have been more mushrooms though. The crust was very thin but not really particularly good or crispy. We were a bit disappointed given how others had been saying that pizza here was one of the best in town. Honestly I think there were a lot of better pizzas in this district at such a price.

 We added $25 + 10% for this dessert. I am glad that we had ordered this. It was just so good! The chocolate tart was so thick! The whipped cream was so smooth and light and tasted almost like ice-cream. It went super great with the chocolate tart! Definitely the best dish of the day!

Cold raspberry and mango & peach tea

 A drink was included in the lunch set. It was quite interesting with glasses holding hot tea above and ice cubes in the jar below. We were told to pour tea into a separate glass then add ice to it. But we added the tea directly into the ice jars. The raspberry tea tasted better which was sweet like juice. The mango and peach tea smelt very nice but the taste was less strong, and they tasted a bit bitter towards the end. Portion was quite big and I regretted not ordering them earlier but just at the end of our meals. 

Service was ok. Not much complaint except that there was no welcoming bread basket with vinegar/olive oil to welcome you. Environment was great for a happy-hour drink. However, given the disappointing pizza and pasta, I really didn't think the lunch sets were of good value as there were better choices in the same district at such a price.
