Chicco Trattoria (27 Lorong Mambong, tel : +65 8189 7302) is by the folks behind Cenzo.
Sangria tasted diluted.
This was the spiced honey ricotta dip. I'm guessing the chilli oil looking thingy was the spiced honey. Not bad tasting paired with the sweet creamy ricotta. Those crackers on the side had an aniseed flavour that I had initially mistaken to be from the "honey".
Parma ham and duck toastie was nice. The fillings was savoury/salty/umami in between toast which was buttery. 👍🏼
Pretty good flatbread - this was the one with roasted cherry tomatoes, stracciatella or burrata and pesto. The bread was unexpectedly slightly sweet. Kinda like this.
Carbonara arancini. They squared the circle here. 😅
Didn't taste like carbonara. Fillings were more creamy than cheese-y and had barely discernible pepper. These arancini were made with pasta, not rice.
Sea bass fillet was nicely pan fried and not bad tasting. Would be nicer if there was more of that caper salsa to go around.
Pork and pesto lasagna also not bad. Pretty rich tasting béchamel bolstered with saltiness from Mortadella and minced pork ragu. There seemed to be a spice...maybe star anise or nutmeg from the béchamel that's teetering on the edge of discernibility.
Pretty enjoyable pistachio tiramisu. Creamy and well soaked with a nice creamy coffee flavour.
Pecan pie was meh. Only after we had left that we realised that we remembered seeing cherry and strawberry gelato mentioned in the menu and there were none of those in it.
