Nicholes ChoongFebruary 3, 2015The best creme brûlée that i ever eat so far, and the risotto is worth to try. The other food was also quite delicious and u can try the cold plate starter with hams is quite delicious😬UpvoteDownvote
Linda WongOctober 13, 2014One of the finest Italian restaurant in Pg. Go for the assorted cured hams & sausages with antipastos, bruschetta and velvety smooth creme brulee!

Delyn ChoongSeptember 12, 2016Carbonara was very salty, pizza was okay, the base was slightly soggy and creme brulee is with lemons , a nod to the flavour of southern Italy.UpvoteDownvote
