I've been recommended this place by my friends for their Italian food, and seeing that it's one of Umberto Bombana's restaurants, I immediately made a booking.We ordered the 4 course lunch, consisting of 1 starter, 2 pastas and a dessert.This is the veal starter, very thinly sliced and the garlic flakes and sauces gave it a nice taste and crunch!The other starter was just a plain salad. Unfortunately, not much to talk about, it wasn't very memorable.Highlight of the meal was the lobster fettucci

Highlight of the meal was the lobster fettuccine!! Fettucine was freshly made and the lobster on top was delicious as well. I loved how the lobster flavour slowly diffused into the fettuccine giving it an underlying aroma as well.

This was the robiola ravioli, with pumpkin, mushrooms and guanciale ham stuffed inside. The heavy sprinkling of cheddar cheese on top definitely made the dish!

This wormy looking pasta is the malloreddus. I hadn't tried this type of pasta before and liked the combination of pork ragout and castelmagno cheese, giving it a stronger taste.

For desserts, this was the Sicilian cassata gelato with candied fruits and raspberries. It was a good palate cleanser, light and on the sour side.

The last dessert was the chocolate tart, which was layered very beautifully and came with a side of hazelnut ice cream. Yum yum!

Verdict: lunch at Octavium was very good and at a good price point as well. Wish they included a coffee and tea in the price cause that was an extra $50 on top.
