If you think Italian cuisine is all about rich pastas and creamy sauces had by dim lighting in a cozy dining room, Caruso Ristorante will make you think again. In place of exposed brick and traditional white table cloths, Caruso features crisp, white stone arches, an airy bar and dining room, and bright citrus walls. Its concrete floors, sleek furniture and two storey-foyers are modern, while mainstays of Italy are sprinkled about, with poppy Italian tunes playing and vintage photos of the restaurant's namesake singer dotting the wall.

While the interiors exude an air of Southern Italy, the flavours from the dishes that fly out of the kitchens here will truly transport diners to the heart of Puglia at first bite. Start your meal right with La Burrata, Puglia’s renown burrata cheese with wild rocket and cherry tomatoes, or sink your teeth into the beautifully fresh and tart octopus salad Insalata Di Polipo. Follow that with famous lamb dishes that Puglia is famous for: the Pappardelle Con Ragu Di Agnello features slow braised lamb that’s cooked for 8 hours and served over homemade pasta, while Costolette Di Agnello Al Timo brings you gorgeous thyme-roasted lamb chops with artichokes, spinach, and roasted potatoes.

With the brilliant lightness of all the dishes, saving room for dessert isn't a concern. And with dessert just as light and perfect as the rest of the meal, we were left wishing it did not have to end. (Nov 2017)
