Buku Nero

I waited a decade to try this place. Never could find the right reason, moment or someone special to share this experience with. Till my wonderful baby remembered how much I wanted to dine at this place and booked it a few months in advance for my birthday. I was so excited!

The restaurant is unpretentious - small and cosy without the flamboyant decor that tries to impress. Rather it is more like a chef's table.  The food will speak for itself. Indeed it did. No photos allowed but it is the best Classic Italian meal I have had for a long time. Oscar and his wife, together with her mum, run this place. Service is quiet, professional and attentive. For once, someone knows the menu through and through. What a pleasure. We had appetizers, entree, main and desserts, for a total of SGD244 dollars. 

Wow. In Singapore, you get taken for a ride all the time with fancy named restaurants that serve you average food with astronomical prices. But not here. As good as the quality at DB bistro or even better. Same price range but without the fan fare of a MBS Michelin star restaurant. And it could hold its own. Best home made pasta and panacotta. I highly recommend to all genuine foodies out there.
