We visited Casa Pietrasanta by the fabulous people behind the established and popular dining spot Ristorante Pietrasanta. The cuisine is full of Italian -Mediterranean flavours. Despite the cheese usually found in Italian meals this menu boasts refreshing light items as well as contains all-round options. Making it a crowd pleaser where you could go with a group that has various lifestyle and dietary preferences.
Casa Pietrasanta is cozy. It can house up to twenty diners in one seating. Which makes it an ideal spot for an intimate gathering. The open kitchen and the very attentive staff make it an ideal venue as a private dining establishment. However, fear not it is open to the public to enjoy! They offer degustation menus for lunch and dinner. These start at about $49.90 to about $74.90. Excellent value making it a truly affordable fine dining experience. Casa Pietrasanta is hidden in plain sight on level 2 of 1 Fusionopolis Way at One North.
We decided on treating our taste buds with the 3-course menu, see picture of the menu attached here for ease. The menu includes one appetiser of your choice, one main of your choice and one dessert of your choice. They served us a round of scrumptious arancini balls and a bread board for the table, in addition to the 3-course menu. The house pour wines were well rated and moderately priced, a match made in heaven indeed! These ranged from wines starting at $14.90 a glass and upwards.
After spending about eternity on choosing what we would eat. Here is what we decided on – one of us choose the seabass carpaccio for their entrée, the risotto escargot (additional $8) as the main and Sharon’s granita as the dessert. Another at our table tried the Guancialo di Manzo (additional $10) it is the slow cooked beef cheek, as their main. I was feeling like eating vegetables. So, I tried the Tortino della Lunigiana, which is a zucchini and red onion frittata as my entrée. My main was the Fettuccine “La Bussola” which is fettuccine with portobello mushroom sauce, pesto sauce and truffle. For dessert I went with Gianduiotto al For Di Latte which is chocolate with amarena cherries.
It was a leisurely meal. We enjoyed the organic Chianti with our meal. It was flavourful and left no headaches.
Now, our favourites from the entrée were the seabass carpaccio. It was flavourful and zesty with pink peppercorn coming through. In the mains our favourite main of the ones eaten at our table were the Risotto Escargot, followed by the beef cheek which had better portion size than the risotto, followed by the light roasted snow fish and fettuccine. But overall, each main was particularly good. The comparison is out of us being curious about each other’s meals. In the desserts we unanimously loved the Milk chocolate gianduiotto and highly recommend it to you.
I would love to come back here for a private dining experience. It is most definitely an affordable fine dining experience.
