In Singapore, the best food is always tucked away in hard-to-reach places, and that seems to be the case for Casa Roma, which is hidden away in quiet Bukit Timah, some 15 minutes away from the mania of Orchard Road. The space, done up to resemble a bustling Roman trattoria, is homey, rustic, and welcoming, and a large mural of Roman landmarks reminds you that you’re here to tuck into the hearty food of this storied city.

Here, they offer a traditional multi-course Italian meal, which you kick off with some pasta, like the classic Spaghetti Alla Carbonara and little pillowy Ravioli stuffed with cheese and served with Parma ham, before diving into its meaty mains. Choose from dishes like a crisp-skinned Branzino al Pomodoro, a fillet of bass served with piquant capers and salty anchovies in a light tomato sauce, or a hefty Vitello Al Funghi Porcini, a tender veal loin grilled to perfection then dressed in a creamy porcini sauce, all delicious paired with one of the restaurant’s great beers or wines. A sweet ending is compulsory, so end the night with a Budino Al Latte, a milky creme caramel, or the ubiquitous but irresistible Tiramisu.

It’s time to gear up for your very own Roman holiday, transported to Rome not by plane, but by delicious Italian plates. (Jul 2018)
