RUBATO Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar takes its welcoming ambiance and understated decor a step further by keeping their kitchen open from 11am till 10:30pm. Located on Greenwood Avenue just off Bukit Timah Road, RUBATO keeps its décor simple and fresh, just like its menu. Ingredients are handpicked, pasta are homemade and cooked a la minute, and pizza are cooked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. In fact, the Chef Specialities vary each day depending on what owner, Marcus Edwin Wu, finds on his nightly journey to Jurong Port, where he selects the freshest seafood to serve.

With the food taking centre stage, RUBATO Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar is a place where serious foodies can focus on great food whenever the mood strikes them. (Jan 2014)

THE BUZZ

"Food-wise, Rubato may also get its diners singing praises of its off-menu Rubato Signature Pizza - thrice-cooked pork belly, strawberries and caramelized apples served on a crispy, wafer-thin crust, or the chicken "jump in the mouth" Saltimbocca." -The Business Times "Chef Wu wasn't kidding about h ...More

"Food-wise, Rubato may also get its diners singing praises of its off-menu Rubato Signature Pizza - thrice-cooked pork belly, strawberries and caramelized apples served on a crispy, wafer-thin crust, or the chicken "jump in the mouth" Saltimbocca." -The Business Times

"Chef Wu wasn't kidding about his insistence on using the best ingredients. From the milky and wonderfully creamy burrata from Puglia and the intensely flavourful 36-month aged parma ham, to the juicy home-cured Roma tomatoes, the a la carte menu of antipasti is easily one of the most impressive selection we've ever sampled, a, pun unintended, symphony of delightfully fresh flavours and contrasting textures. " -Lifestyle Asia

"And for all its unlikely setting, a residential estate up near MacRitchie; a good proving ground built surely not a permanent recipe for success, relative newbie Rubato does a solid job on all fronts." -SG Now

"It seems out of place in a row of run down eateries and hawker stalls, but don't let the neighbours fool you - this place serves a menu that holds it's own against some our city's most exclusive dining areas. We are almost a little sad to let this cat out of the bag, as we wanted to keep this bellissimo gem all to ourselves." -The Honeycombers

"Young head chef Wu whips up comfort Italian food that seeks to appeal to groups of families or couples. Tagliatelle with porcini mushroom sauce or burratina cheese salad complements a quiet evening, while the rib-eye risotto is a satisfying stomach filler. Small fairy-light lamps hang above white tablecloths in this intimate setting in which tables are grouped closely together, making for a warm atmosphere." -Time Out Singapore
