La Luna Rossa

A renowned Italian chef from Tokyo (Nakameguro) opened its first branch in Singapore (Scotts Square, next to Hyatt Hotel). We tried the classic lunch set (38++), which comes with antipasto, main dish and desert & drinks. I ordered the wasabi flavored tuna cake and Kagoshima Pork Sauté and Tiramissu. Though the amount is relatively small, I cannot help enjoying the tender texture of each dish. They also serve liquor for one to one deal (18++) so I ordered cocktail as well.
I witnessed a couple celebrating birthday as I saw the staff sing birthday song.
As a wrap up, I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions.

La Brezza (@St Regis Hotel)

Sunday Brunch in a gastronomic Italian restaurant: I have not tried much in the past but out of few, I could recommend this one for Italian cuisine.
It is very popular so strongly recommend booking. If I remember correctly the fee is 88SGD ++, without the free flow of alcohol, but soft drinks comes with it.

Prego at Fairmont Hotel

I used this restaurant to hold my wife's birthday party inviting her friends. We ordered a lunch set (with soup, main and dessert for 42SGD ++ per head for lunch. If you are a AMEX Platinum member and received a half price deal, it would be quite a reasonable price. The atmosphere is adequately lively and spacious. No private room but they can provide seat along partition.

Pasta Fresca Da Salvatore

There are a few branches in Singapore; the one we visited is in Bikit Timah road (Blk833). They have wide variety of pasta and pizza as well as a few meat and fish menu. Quality is I guess well up to the price level: not too ecpensive but not too cheap as Pasta mania or other fast food type shops. The restaurant has a good mix of Caucasian, Chinese and possibly Japanese like ourselves.

Otto Ristorante

I have to confess, that though I am Japanese native, I still have preference not to eat particular popular Japanese dish. However, for Italian food, I love most dishes, needless to mention especially for pasta.
Now, in Singapore, I have not been so lucky to find a nice Italian restaurant until this time when I went to "Otto Ristorante" in 28 Maxwell Road, in Red Dot Traffic Building Ground Level.

There is a bar "al freco"in the back end and a restaurant on the left side, once you enter a chic style entrance. You may be greeted by Italian butler(?) and taken to one of dining area which can fit 80 pax. The dinner course comes with choices of three different courses, which are 6 dish, or 5 dish or Vegetarian. Alternatively you may choose a la carte.I tried the 5 dish with beef. The side dish bread is something worth picking, though I warn you not to munch too much. This is certainly one of the nicest Italian in Singapore.
