1. Nostra Cucina
True to the saying “when one door closes, another opens”, this homely kitchen restaurant was established after the closure of Italian favourite, Osteria and Pizzeria Mozza. The latter’s former team, led by executive chef Peter Birks and executive pastry chef Ariana Flores, continues to helm the new kitchen.
Together, they whip up classic Italian recipes every nonna would be proud of. Pastas are meticulously prepared in-house and used in delightful creations such as the bucatini alla puttanesca tossed with anchovies, capers and olives, and the tagliatelle loaded with hearty beef cheek ragu.
Even the pizzas, some of which are the margherita and gamberini, are prepared the Italian way and finished in the built in wood-fired ovens. When you see the dessert menu, you’ll instantly make space for the classic tiramisu and affogato. These come with optional wine pairing.
