Ricciotti

Went there for the first time on Valentine's Day because my boyfriend made a reservation there.

I believe they are best known for their pastries, so i went there with an expectation.

My boyfriend and i had a couples set dinner and it consisted of 6 courses. Generally, the presentation of the food was simple and clean-cut. Adequate, but not visually very enticing. The main course came in a rather small portion. It filled me up nicely (because i'm a small eater who is never able to finish my food!) and i enjoyed it thoroughly!

The desert was the best, in my opinion. Chocolate love pastries. It was basically chocolate mousse contained in a white chocolate "tube" which had colourful pictures printed on the walls. Very simple, yet very pretty! In the middle was a cavity that held raspberry sauce! It was a little too sweet, but i liked it alot nevertheless, given my sweet tooth!

The service of Ricciotti is also great. As my boyfriend and i chose to sit outdoors, it was very windy and our candle kept going out! The staff who was on duty outside was consistently very prompt in relighting the candle, even though i'd expect it to be rather tiresome having to do so ever so often! It just goes to show that they will do their best to uphold the image of Ricciotti.

Furthermore, the staff provided a special polaroid-taking service on that day for couples! I thought that was a very nice touch on top of everything else.

Ricciotti is situated at Riverwalk, next to Home Club. Do drop by and visit it!

Had been to this cafe once with my friends. That was my first time eating there though I had walked past it several times while strolling along Singapore River.

Me and my friends ordered a couple of dishes to share among us. Our order included Fritto Misto (a seafood platter with crab cakes, prawn tails), Pollo E Peperoni pizza (consisting of tomato, mozzarella, chicken, bell pepper and basil) and Al Crudo pizza ( consisting Rucola, Parma Ham, Tomato and Mozzarella Cheese). The taste of the platter and pizzas were really quite nice. The crust of the pizza were not too thick and were done crisp and not heavy on the flour. The ingredients were fresh and juicy.

The cafe is famous for its wide range of desserts such as homemade gelato, pastries and celebratory cakes. So we decided to try some of the pastries out. We ordered a total of 5 different pastries, which is called Pasticceria in Italian.

They were Diplomatica, Musa, Cassata Siciliana, Soffiato , and Tiramisu. All of them really tasted good and nt very sweet as well. Recalling all thi smakes me drool!! *Slurp* So for those who are more health conscious. do not worry!!!

There are many more different types of pastries that I will go back to try as well as the gelato. All in all, I would recommend this place for people who have a weakness for nice pastries.
