Celebrated a friend's birthday at an Italian restaurant at Parco Marina - Tavolo. Seem to have acquired a liking for Italian food of the late.
Tavolo boast of an open concept with a simple and stylish set up. Located on the third level, it is just right beside Saboten.
We were in good stead for treats. Firstly we just need to top up SGD5 for coffee and dessert to the ala carte order. A dessert was in the range of SGD 10.00. Furthermore you get to enjoy 10% off ala carte items with Citi Bank credit cards. Woo hoo!
The soup of the day is pumpkin soup (SGD9).The finely mashed up pumpkin blended very well with slices of cheese. What a unique combi.
We ordered several main dishes. The most special dish is Pappardelle with Rabbit meat sauce (SGD26).
The home made pasta was delectable. I'm not a pasta person but I actually find that I like to eat more of it. I was really surprised on knowing that it's rabbit meat sauce. To the extent that I looked traumatized.
We also had slightly more down to earth dishes:
-Pork Cutlet (SGD26) that was so thin and tasty.
-Salmon (SGD29) with mustard sauce. The pepper bits added enhanced the entire dish.
One of the first desserts we tried was the tiramisu (SGD10).
Other than tiramisu,the desserts were not conventional at all. Zuccotto Di Ricotta (SGD10) - It is a sponge cake made up of cheese,almond nuts. There is a slight lingering taste of cinnamon. The cheese is quite light as well.
Chocolate Sausage (SGD10): This is chocolate made in the form of sausages. The whole "sausage" was just nice and not too sweet. There were also almond flakes and biscuits in the chocolate. I like it how it's not too sweet.
Am likely to return to this place!

Borgata is an Italian restaurant located at a corner of Clarke Quay. If you like to experience the hustle and bustle of Clarke Quay it may just be great to take the al fresco area. On the other hand, you may want to ask for seats in the restaurant if you like a quieter environment to talk.
The lighting coupled with the music provides a relaxing environment right away.
Our healthy starter:
The calamari was rather unique. As it was the first few dishes, it kind of raised our expectation for the others to come. It just keeps getting better!
The items were served right from the oven. The thin crust pizza was quite light. As you are eating it,you get to taste the ingredients rather than being bogged down by the dough.
As you attempt the grilled chicken,you can't miss the tinge of herbs. The portion was really huge and it was a relief that we were sharing the food.
