Monte Risaia - unique Japanese Italian restaurant with free flow wines @ Duxton
This is a hidden gem...! Address: 59 Duxton Rd, Singapore 089523
First of all and most importantly, they have wine / drinks free flow option:
(1) $58 for 120 min (2) $70 for 150 minutes. You can mix from sparkling wine, red / white wine, beer. Super value for money!
Most of the seats are bar-sitting, with two small 4-ppl sitting tables. They are super attentive, your glass never gets emptied.
They have omakase menu and a la carte. Below was what we had at $98++ "Omakase Dinner Course" - which is 3 antipasti, 1 pasta, 1 carne / meat and 1 dessert. I think they recently changed the menu recently to $128 with 6 dishes.
Wagyu ham & Buratta is a must have ($32 a la carte). They shave it in front of you. Melting, tender and super fresh! A perfect appetiser for wine!
The risotto was good too - portion was just right. Surpringly it had wasabi and that was a kick!
The Signature three kinds dashi tomato pasta was perfectly cooked at al dente. Ingredients and sauce are not too overpowering. The full portion will be $36.
Meat changes time to time and we had smoked duck - this can't get wrong but I prefer the beef steak I ordered the other day as a la carte. I think it was around $78. The portion was quite small though.
Lastly, this is not part of the course menu but my favourite dish here is sea urchin pudding.. a heaven! ($38) A super small bowl of heaven..
The only downside is that... food is prepared quite slow. I think this place will be perfect for those having wines. I recommend a group of two because it is quite fun watching chef cooking.
Hope you enjoy this place! This is my 100% personal review, not paid!! ;) good day! xx
