Today, I am going to write about one fine dining experience I had at an Italian restaurant called Etna. If I want to have a good pizza and pasta on a quite night, this is where I usually go to. The place is not usually crowded not like Pizza Hut which is usually crowded during dinner time.
The restaurant serves original Italian pizza made with ingredients from Italy. In this restaurant they do not have to ask me what type of crust I want or what toppings I want to put in my pizza. You just order from the menu and enjoy their pizza with a good glass of wine. The crust that they have here is just the right one for me, not too overly thin and crispy but with a bit of chewiness. The brick oven gives that earthy taste and chewiness. I wish I could have that brick oven at home to always enjoy a good pizza.
I’ve been eating in this place for a number of times and food here especially their pasta selection has been a unique and flavorful experience. Last night I ordered some of my favorite dishes on this quaint restaurant. For starters, I had their Antipasto Etna. This Aubergine dish with Caponata usually makes my appetite get going for the next dish. From the pasta selection, I ordered the Linguini al Granchio e Crema di Aragosta and the Risoto Siciliano. I find this risotto dish really pleasant with the oranges bringing out the sweetness of the prawns and the creaminess of the risotto is just right and not too thick for my taste. The linguini dish here is my all-time favorite. Best pasta dish I had so far. With a hint of garlic on the creamy sauce, it just makes me devour this dish and ask for more. There is a generous amount of crab with every bite and the sauce has a bit of sweetness from the lobster. For my pizza, I ordered the house special Etna. What I love about this pizza is the generous amount of Parma ham, cream cheese, porcinni mushroom and pistachio. Having pistachio in my pizza is really unique to this restaurant.
My dinner here is not complete without trying some of their in-house desserts. Their gelato selection is heavenly and they swear that it is authentic home-made Italian ice cream. I simply cannot resist one scoop of their amazing ice cream so I ordered the Mediterraneo gelato. It has generous toppings of melon and whip cream. The melon is very light and refreshing in contrast with the dense ice cream and the combination really compliments each other. Still wanted to eat their signature dessert which is the Tiramisu al Pistacchio, I opted to order one to take home. This dessert is simply delicious. Light and airy, for me, not so sweet and the layer of pistachio gives another dimension of flavor to this classic Italian dessert.
For the pasta alone, I can say that it is one of the best places to eat in Singapore. The Linguini dish in this restaurant is worth checking out for those who have not tried it and for me to keep coming back to this place. Having seen how my pizza was made from their brick oven is more than enough to make my day.

is this the best place to have Italian food in Singapore?we're planning a trip there next month,we'll definitely try this place out.
ReplyDeletei've been a regular of etna. this place i simple yet classy. it's unfair to compare etna to pizza hut becuase one thing, pizza hut is an american fast food chain while etna is an authentic sisicilian restaurant. i agree with you that etna is one of the best place to eat in singapore. teh only thing mising inthis place is don vito corleone :)
ReplyDeleteitalian food in singapore can be a little pricey, do they offer set menu on this restaurant?
