Few know how to enjoy food like the Italians, which is why few experiences can compare to the satisfaction of digging into hearty plates of pasta and giant slices of pizza in an Italian trattoria in warm temperate weather as they do in Italy.
Ever since 2008, Ristorante Pietrasanta has been bringing authentic Tuscan flavours to Singapore. The two Italian brothers-founders are excited to share more flavours of their home with local diners with a new dining menu that is authentic, comforting, and generous.
An ideal address for sedate lunches, business meetings and intimate get-togethers, Ristorante Pietrasanta boasts an interior that is laidback and characterized by paintings. It is also complemented with a breezy terrace where you can soak in the sun and feel the cool breeze.
Now, get ready to sit back, relax and dig into a taste of Tuscany with time-honoured treats.
The perfect start to your Pietrasanta journey is the restaurant’s best-kept secret – the Burrata pictured below. Nowhere on the menu, loyal diners will know to order it as a special request to the chef. A whole cheese ball of solid 300g, the Burrata is flown in from Italy every three days for the creamiest and freshest cheese.
For a truly authentic taste, it is served with a cold-pressed olive oil specially produced by the chef’s brother in Italy to a long-kept family recipe. Freshly plucked olives are processed and pressed on the same day to ensure their robust taste and flavours. It is this olive oil that stands Ristorante Pietrasanta’s burrata apart from all its competitors.
To go with a burrata of that revere, there’s now a Porchetta salad pictured above of thin-sliced roasted pork belly, served with generous portions of rocket leaves. It is further sweetened with Italian tomatoes, shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, and a 15-year aged balsamico.
Ristorante Pietrasanta’s makes all their pasta by hand daily. The menu brings back its most popular signature – Fettucine Con Salsiccio Tartufo pictured above. Handmade Fettucine pasta is served with pork-ragout in a light cream base, further bolded with sausages and minced Italian black truffle preserved in olive oil.
New on the menu is Tagliatelle Fresche Gamberi E Pomodori Secchi pictured above. Using fresh hand-kneaded tagliatelle, the pasta is cooked with fresh prawns, semi-dried tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, and prawn broth for the purity of flavours. Its fragrance wafting through the air, the Tagliolini Freschi Al Pomodoro, Pesto E Burrata pictured below is a marriage of tagliatelle, fresh tomato sauce, pesto and burrata cheese.
Mains take things up a notch with unapologetic meats of the most prized cuts. The Bistecca Alla Fiorentina pictured below presents 1kg of grilled Black Angus T-Bone cooked in Tuscany style medium to rare. With only salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme, this dish is served with no sauce for a full appreciation of its boldness.
The Galletto Disossato Arrosto succulent spring chicken pictured below is also a popular choice. Imported from Europe, the whole organic chicken is roasted and deboned, and garnished with garlic, herbs, and lemon zest.
Sweet-tooths will be delighted with the dessert selection, headlined by the Cheese Cake Alle 5 Medaglie pictured below. It is a delicate dance of flavours, especially when served with the Giuseppe Giusti 20-year-old balsamic vinegar. A result and pride of skills and experience handed down over four centuries within the famed Giusti family in Italy, the vinegar itself is worth a try on its own.
The Tiramisu is a fail-proof choice. Drizzled with a dash of brandy to truly bring out the fragrance of coffee, the tiramisu also sings with sweetness of cocoa and hazelnut sponge cake. For a proper sweet Italian end, wash it all down with a Vin Santo E Cantucci dessert wine, a sweet expression that truly represents Italian hospitality. With intense flavours of caramel and hazelnut, it is the perfect accompaniment for the home-made Cantucci biscuits served on the side.
