- Almost forgotten to submit this review after uploading it to my photos blog some while ago. To keep things short, the Food Quality is of a pretty high standard and so is the service - the pastas are home-made and al dente, the sauces and entree were executed perfectly. I simply haven't had better Italian food locally. You really need to go there to try it yourself so that's why I kept this review short - the photos speak for themselves. I think the desserts could do with a little more innovation or be served in bigger portions, which might sound ironic seeing I didn't try their desserts but everyone around me had one and they looked boring and tiny.
- Coffee: They have a self-blended and roasted Italian coffee from Italy. However I think their Victoria Arduino 'Andonis' machine has a bit of a problem as my Espresso wasn't very well extracted.... perhaps they could send it to my home and I can inspect it for them as a good gesture. For the time being, they can have my little Sunbeam machine - I swear it works a treat. Let's make this a permanent deal.
- I have a feeling this Italian Restaurant is aiming for the modernised, mid-plus tier market rather than a true upscale establishment - much like a Cafe Gray Deluxe in a sense with well cooked and solid food. If the Drawing Room takes cake of the Haute Cuisine part of the equation in terms of Italian dining, then this is left to take care of the rest in a way. Truly deserved at least 1 Michelin Star or 1.5 just going by a single visit already! The Zagat's who were dining on the same day as me seemed pretty happy with the food too!
LOW '5' FOR NOW
