Food Blog - Menotti

Had dinner at Menotti, a Italian restaurant located at an obscure corner of Raffles City Shopping Centre. Budget is around $35 per person if you order the set dinner - consists of 3-course meal and coffee/tea. Budget will be around $40 if you order a glass of house wine.

For starters, there are about 3 or 4 choices to select from. Tried the Caesar salad and spinach & crab soup. If 5 points is excellent, I would give a 2.5 points for the salad and 3 for the soup (3.5 if the soup had been hotter).

As for the main courses, there were 4 choices. Tried the Atlantic Sole Fillet and Fettuccine with Scallop and Mushrooms. Would give 4 out of 5 points for both dishes!

Looking at the desserts menu made me giddy as there were too many choices to select from! Other than the usual tiramisu and cheese cake, there were plenty of Italian desserts which I cannot even pronounce.

For those who like wine, there are plenty of wines to select from, mostly Italian wine I think. They have red wine, white wine and even dessert wine!

Was at the restaurant slightly before 7 pm and the place was not that crowded. However, when I walk past the restaurant at around 8.30 pm, the place was full. Hence, be early if you want to dine there.
