With them serving fresh, authentic and delightful pasta, we had finally found a place to fix our cravings.
The food is anchored in some sense of authenticity and food mavericks looking to guard their bottom dollar - go wild.
Although Pastaria Abate was self service eatery, the price was considered reasonable.
Overall, the prices are really affordable compared to the astronomical flavours that the dishes provide. If you want to visit, do call days in advance to book for weekdays and for weekends, call wayyyy in advance.
If you are looking for a good place to wind down on Friday night after work, Pasta Brava comes highly recommended (reservations are necessary). The prices are similar to other Italian eateries along the Bukit Timah/Holland/Orchard belt but the quality of the food is probably one of my favorites in Singapore.
The prices here are what you’d expect from a good Italian restaurant, but the food here is definitely better than most. It is simple, hearty and very tasty.

Service was superbly attentive and considerate that I didn't even have to signal when to bring out cake lol!
All in all, it was a day of a hit and misses. Another thing we felt was missing was that despite its name, we did not feel that we were in Italy. The sense of warm hospitality that Italian restaurants are known for was something we missed.
I enjoyed my dining experience at Griglia where the dishes are excellent. This is a restaurant suitable for couple dates or a small group gathering where you have the luxury of trying more dishes on the menu.
Tried their lamb chops. Medium doneness turned out more like medium well.
The thing which we found disappointing was their shrimp and zucchini fritto.
The menu has a wide-enough range for a table's different preferences and the food's decent enough for us to hop by if we want a simple pizza and a cold beer.
No space for the pasta and desserts this time, and I am definitely keen to return for them, and also to try the other pizza flavours. Great spot to suss out if you are a pizza lover. I also did not manage to try any wines this time, though I saw that there is a wide range of Italian wines on the menu.
