So, let's try!Welcomed and seated by the waiter at the bar table. A good position to have a view of the open kitchen, seeing the kitchen staff working around.

Welcomed and seated by the waiter at the bar table. A good position to have a view of the open kitchen, seeing the kitchen staff working around. No need to play with my mobile even I am having meal on my own today.
I chose set B which includes an appetizer/soup, a main (pasta) and a dessert. All sets include a drink.
A small bag of Italian bread with vinegar and olive oil was served after order. The bread was soft and elastic. The herbs gave a good flavour. As in general and expected, vinegar and olive oil were so-so.

Then come the green salad. Just freshly mixed in front of me. Well mixed with the homemade dressing and the taste was well balanced. The greens wer also fresh and crunchy.

I tried the Pappardelle for main. Fettuccine was smooth, soft and elastic with a light eggy flavour. The duck ragu was just right to give a thorough flavour to every piece of the fettuccine. Cheese was finely grated over the pasta and so wouldn't give a greasy mouthfeel.

Finally the dessert, one out of two. As recommended by the waiter, I had tiramisu. Surprised that it's not soggy like those I ever had in other restaurants. I like the nutty coffee flavour though I doubt whether this recipe includes rum/alcohol. Coarse sugar was sprinkled on top before serve which gave a light crunchy texture in addition to the smooth creamy mouthfeel. Meanwhile it was not too sweet, just fit my taste. It's somehow like drinking a cup of coffee and gave a nice ending to the meal.

I was delighted to have tried this restaurant and will certainly come again. Hope it's not only good at the start.
Other Info. :
No service charge applies but tips for staff are welcomed on check. A good motivation strategy to promote excellent customer service.
Restaurant is well decorated for sure in Italian style, giving a comfortable atmosphere for dining in.
Open kitchen which I like the best to sit at the bar table, very enjoying.
