CONTEMPORARY ITALIAN AT ETNA RESTAURANT


I suppose it was our lucky day when we risked going to Etna East Coast Road at 7pm on a Saturday without any reservation. We got seated straight away in the last available table - they had to turn down walk-ins after us (okay, I'm being dramatic, they put them in the wait list). I know this because we were seated near the door. As guests trickled in, you'd see the manager personally greeting the regulars by name with a cheery buonasera, sometimes even with cheek kisses. I felt like I was dining in someone's living room and I really liked how the authenticity extended from the food - they have been awarded the Ospitalita Italiana Gold Seal - to the service.

The fresh burrata served with San Daniele ham, cherry tomatoes and rocket was DIVINE. Those cherry tomatoes were so fresh and succulent, probably the best I've had in my life. I got the classic ravioli whereas Luke opted for the soft-shell crab pasta which was heavily asian influenced. Personally, I prefer more traditional Italian food rather than contemporary, but that's just me. We ended the meal with their famous pistachio tiramisu.

All in all it was a vibrant meal made more enjoyable by those around and the one I was with. :) Will definitely be coming back for more burrata and prosciutto goodness!

Etna Italian Restaurant is located at 110 Upper East Coast Rd, Singapore 455298
