Went twice in one week! 🍝🔥 New affordable Italian gem at Plaza Singapura

Having visited Tavola Aperta twice in a week really gave me a solid perspective on their menu and vibe. The first visit introduced me to their Vongole Pasta, where the clams were wonderfully fresh and bathed in a fragrant garlic and white wine broth, giving it that authentic Italian comfort feel. The Prawn Pasta was equally impressive, with large succulent prawns sitting atop flavorsome noodles that felt rich but not overwhelming. What stood out on both visits was how the restaurant balanced quality with affordability—a rare find in Plaza Singapura’s bustling food scene. The Ultimate Tiramisu was a highlight; creamy, layered with just the right hint of cocoa and a delightful crunch from toasted hazelnuts. It felt like a true indulgence but still approachable in portion size. On the second outing, I couldn’t resist ordering their classic Margherita Pizza, which was a treat with its blistered crust, bright tomato sauce, and fresh basil—each bite encompassing simple yet perfected flavors. The Fritto Misto, featuring crispy whitebait with herbs and a creamy dipping sauce, was a light and addictive starter that complemented the pizza perfectly. What makes Tavola Aperta stand out, beyond just the delicious food, is its chic yet cozy atmosphere with warm lighting that invites relaxed dining. Whether you’re looking for a casual date spot or a comforting meal after a day of shopping, this gem is definitely worth a visit. The use of fresh seafood like clams and whitebait and generous portions of prawn show their commitment to quality. I’ll certainly be returning to explore more dishes on their menu.
