This quaint little restaurant, located on Pok Man Street, was opened in August 2015 by an Italian chef and his lovely wife. Since I found out about this restaurant in early September 2015, I have been going every week, sometimes even twice a week, with my family or with groups of friends.I guess what draws me back again and again, besides the fact that the food is authentic and the prices are reasonable, is the fact that the super-nice owner/chef, Vincenzo, cooks from his heart.

I guess what draws me back again and again, besides the fact that the food is authentic and the prices are reasonable, is the fact that the super-nice owner/chef, Vincenzo, cooks from his heart. Every dish is crafted with care and to perfection; and his recipes are so “unpolluted”. Every visit brings me back to the wonderful time I had when I was studying in Italy.
On this particular visit, I brought a friend to have a girls' chat over Saturday lunch. My friend is a vegetarian, but it was not difficult for us to choose something from the "Weekend Lunch Menu".
I usually order their signature MUSHROOM SOUP for antipasti, but I decided to try something new this time. So we chose a MIXED VEGETABLE SOUP WITH LENTILS and a PUMPKIN CARROT SOUP. The vegetable soup was hearty and the pepper in the soup made it a little spicy - just perfect for a cold day . The pumpkin soup was creamy and delicious too.
For main course, we shared their signature CAPRESE SALAD and the QUATTRO FORMAGGI PIZZA. CAPRESE is a salad which is arranged to look like the Italian flag with fresh cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and rocket leaves . The ingredients are fresh and the portion is very generous. QUATTRO FORMAGGI is one of my most favourite pizzas - there are four different kinds of cheeses in it; and the Gorgonzola (Italian blue cheese) adds a special dimension to the taste.
For desserts, we ordered an AFFOGATO each. AFFOGATO is vanilla icecream floating in espresso coffee. The vanilla icecream, like all the other dishes in this restaurant, is handmade by the chef. It is a lot less sweet than the other American icecream, and it just tastes a lot healthier and more natural.
And once again, every dish was scrumptious and satisfying. Da Vincenzo never disappoints!
