Etna Italian Restaurant - Classic Italian Cuisine

I have read many raving reviews of Etna Italian Restaurant and I have been wanting to try it out for myself. I finally got the chance when a friend agreed to join me for dinner tonight.

Etna Italian Restaurant - Decor

Etna Italian Restaurant - Restaurant Front

The white signage with the word "Etna" in red cursive font looks so contemporary and classy. Underneath the signage is all glass, giving passerby a glimpse of the warm ambiance inside.

The tables are lined with white tablecloth and white table throw, paired with black cushioned chairs which gives a sense of classic elegance. The whitewashed walls are adorned with pictures of Italy from the past and present.

Etna Italian Restaurant - The Food

You can access the menu by scanning the QR code on each table which you can also find on their website.

Etna Italian Restaurant - Complimentary Bread

Every table gets a complimentary bread basket. The warm focaccia bread tastes divine with accompanying olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Etna Italian Restaurant - Burrata di Andria

I chose Burrata di Andria [S$28 for 150g, S42 for 300g] to pay homage to the restaurant's heritage. Burrata is an Italian cow milk cheese made from mozzarella and cream. Etna serves burrata with Parma ham, cherry tomatoes and rock salad which helps to neutralise the creaminess of the cheese.

Etna Italian Restaurant - Classic Italian Pasta

A simple Classic Italian Pasta {from S$24] to start the meal. It's just tomato sauce with spaghetti, yet it tastes so comforting. A dash of Parmesan cheese and lots of olive oil definitely helps.

Etna Italian Restaurant - Focaccia Di Recco

Foccacia De Recco is similar to pizza, only less filling. There are three choices - Tradizionale, Pizzata and Crudo e Rucola. This is Tradizionale [S$32] which is a tad too cheesy even for this self-professed cheese-lover. The whole things is just stracchino cheese on focaccia bread. Just one slice is enough to overwhelm anyone with cheesiness.

Etna Italian Restaurant - Ciriole alla Norcina

I love a good Italian handmade pasta anytime so I ordered Ciriole alla Norcina [S$28]. It is homemade semolina pasta with mushrooms, homemade sausage and truffle paste. The first few mouthfuls are heavenly, the truffle paste really gives pungency to the dish. After that, it becomes increasingly difficult to finish due to the artery-clogging oiliness. I finished the pasta with a small pool of oil at the base of the plate.

Etna Italian Restaurant - Conclusion

I love the classic and homey ambiance at Etna Italian Restaurant, but the food tends to be a little too cheesy and oily.

Personally, I still prefer the Italian food at iO Italian Osteria in HillV2. That Homemade Tagliolini, Prawns, Lemon, Aromatic Breadcrumbs is so good, I almost licked the plate.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
