Named after Chef Simone’s beloved grandmother, Trattoria Nonna Lina is an utterly charming Italian bistro tucked away on Cantonment Road that spins up homestyle cooking that is sure to please everyone in the family.

You won’t miss the brightly painted facade of this eatery as this conservation shophouse is painted in the bold colours of the Italian flag, ensuring this building stands out from the rest of the block. Inside, the decor draws inspiration from the sleepy seaside town of Porto Santo Stefano, where life is simple and the fishermen bring in the freshest Mediterranean catch every evening. Rustic and comforting, Trattoria Nonna Lina’s food showcases the best of traditional Tuscan cuisine. Start with the Bruschette di Nonna Lina, made with uber-fresh chopped tomatoes and a hint of basil sitting on slices of bread.

Next, get a Pappardelle della Vigna, featuring Italian sausages and a creamy sauce made using blue cheese. It may be simple, but it packs quite a punch! For a taste of coastal Tuscany, try the Cacciucco, a thick stew of various seafood cooked in homemade tomato broth. Last but not least, the majestic Bistecca Fiorentina is perfect for hungry meat-lovers.

Come for the top-notch Tuscan-styled nosh, but stay for an evening of long conversations with friends with a bottle of wine or two. (Jul 2018)
