The alley only correct side past times side to Bibis Fashion & Bakery Cafe is a modest alley named Leandros Lane inward which yous volition discovery a seemingly curious Italian restaurant- Bella Marino. Those who are inward the know would non live on novel to the name; previously located at Straits Quay Marina Mall, Bella Marino Ristorante e Pizzeria has since relocated to the introduce location. It is non peculiarly a romantic spot... the distance betwixt tables is close too it may live on a petty awkward to utter loud but the character of the nutrient brand upwards for it. There are enough of heavy Italian ornaments adorning the walls but nosotros did non discovery them peculiarly charming. The bill of fare is slightly confusing every bit at that spot are also many to pick out from but aspect the quintessential Pasta too Pizza dishes are available; though to a greater extent than or less produce come upwards amongst hefty cost tags.
Pasta- Connovata (Rm 37)
Antipasto Alla Bella Marino (Rm 40)
We bring fond memories of Connovata, a Tomato-Cream based Sauce served amongst fresh too succulent Scallops too Prawns. Choose betwixt Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Linguine too Penne; nosotros picked Linguine. The Seafood was then fresh too the resilient but non hard-to-the-bite texture was virtually thrilling. The slight tang sauce was refreshingly appetizing but creamily satisfying at the same time. Flavors were good idea out too perfectly balanced. To conform the local palate, a modest total of Bird's Eye Chilies were added to innovate a slight behavior on of heat. Delizioso!
For starters, nosotros had their Antipasto that consists of Parmesan Baked Tomatoes, Plain Burrata Cheese, Truffled Burrata, Grilled Buffalo Cheese, Smoked Salmon amongst Capers too Sauteed Wild Mushrooms too Rocket Leaves. We dear to a greater extent than or less of the elements, though non all unfortunately. Our untrained gustation buds could non discern betwixt the Burratas; inward which 1 of them was carrying a peculiar icy texture that nosotros were non quite fond of. The texture was dreadful too nosotros struggled to finish. Parmesan Baked Tomatoes on the other hand, were nicely done too carefully seasoned; same goes to the Sauteed Mushrooms. We'd in all probability relish to a greater extent than if nosotros taste them amongst a drinking glass of Red.
No Italian repast is completed without a proficient serving part of Tiramisu (Rm 17.50), Bella Marino's comes inward a huge part that seems impossible to live on finished past times 1 entirely. We expected the sweetness process to live on soft too mushy but it turned out to live on slightly firm, in all probability gelatin was added but they did non compromise on the flavor. The Espresso chemical gene was introduce but non every bit overwhelmed every bit nosotros would bring hoped; nevertheless, nosotros idea they did good inward damage of the texture too sweetness; both were well-balanced too correct on the dot. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Coffee-infused thing worth every unmarried calorie.
