Revisiting Casa Vostra

Casa Vostra, Raffles City

It's twenty to five on a Friday a few weeks after Casa Vostra has opened. There was a queue. Don't these people have to...😕

Casa Vostra, calamari fritti

Calamari fritti had a crunchy batter and was otherwise edible. Nothing special about the squids here. Caper mayo on the side did not taste fresh. Will not be getting again.

Casa Vostra, polpette

Meatballs had a fine grind, was dense and has a fennel-y taste. Would prefer a coarser grind for texture but that's just our preference. Will not be getting again. 

Casa Vostra, pizza gamberi

According to the menu, it's Argentinian prawns and prawn reduction on their pizza gamberi. Not getting much out of the latter. I was expecting a taste much more robust from the word 'reduction'. As to the former...for prawns that were apparently known for their sweetness, I couldn't tell. But it was a nice pizza with prawns that were decent and chunky. Even though for some odd reasons, the pie had something in it that reminded me of nachos. Cornicione was still fantastically puffy and tender.
