Trattoria Lafiandra

Greeted by a lovely Italian waitress the moment I walked in. Love the environment. Can be quite crowded on a Friday night. I suggest you make reservations.
Ordered one of their baked pasta (good), garlic bread (good), salad (good), and risotto (quite bland after having all the other flavorful dishes).
One of the waitress doesn’t look that happy though. But overall, loved that place.

Was excited to check it out based on reviews. Currently in India for work, 9months, so attempting to get as much good food in as possible. I arrived at 10:10 and was told the kitchen was closed. Restaurant closes at 11. Maybe it’s normal to close the kitchen that early, but seemed odd. I was old I could have lasagna or pizza, so picked the former. It was pretty good, but would have preferred marinara sauce vs the cheese sauce it came with. Also, closing an hour in advance wasn’t awesome. Would recommend based on what I had access to.

One of my favourite Italian restaurants in Asia. The pizza bread/​tomato appetiser is wonderful. Their house wines are always excellent. The location is in a classic, colonial building adjacent to the Singapore art museum. The big rumour is the owner teaches other chefs in Singapore on the secrets of Italian cooking.

Classically made pizzas; nice thin crust. Had the Hawaii which was really good, maybe a tad heavy on the cheese — which I’m completely fine with. Allowed us to get a table a little before opening hours for dinner, which was quite nice from the heat.

This seemed like a legitimate Southern Italian trattoria. The food was all fresh and simple. The seafood stew was great and about $ 12 cheaper than the normal ~$ 30 it tends to cost elsewhere (e.g. Pasta Brava). The spaghetti amatriciana was very nice. The best thing was the ribeye steak though with mushrooms and potatoes, which was extremely well seasoned and cooked and seemed like a lot of food. This is easily the best steak I have seen in Singapore at that price point. They also have gelato from Alfero, which is amazing. I will probably bring my family here when they visit.
Service was a little avoidant but the food was good enough to make up for it. Only real shocker when the bill came was that the focaccia (pizza bianca) cost $ 12.80. It was really good and possibly worth it, but that is disproportionately expensive relative to the other items.

Ate here for Valentine Day dinner. Nice italian restaurant. Air cond. Located in Singapore Art Museum building. Good salads and appetizers. After meal drinks. Service was fine. Probably best restaurant we ate at.

There is a chill in the air when it comes to service at this restaurant.
Dined on a Saturday around 7:20pm slightly ahead of our reservation time.. As it was early the dining room was empty. We were seated quickly and provided menus. A female member of the wait staff asked if we wanted a beverage. WE ARE NON DRINKERS so we said water would be fine.
The waiter comes over to our table and my partner and I ordered Tortelloni and Lasagna for our mains. Again we were asked if we wanted wine or cocktaI with our meals. Again we politely stated water would be fine and that we would be adding dessert at the end.
The decision of no wine or cocktail did not sit well with our server. He took a bottle off the table and presented our order to the kitchen. Food arrived promptly but no follow up from our server.
There were additional staff on the floor whose jobs it seems was to wisk plates off the table but all it felt like, as a customer, was rushed service. THE FOOD IS FANTASTIC. It is a shame that all the effort is offset at the front of the house.
When we finished our entres we decided to close out our check and leave as fast as we could. We went up the street for an after dinner coffee and dessert. We did hear a few voices saying good night on our way out of the door.
This was our second time visiting this dining spot. The first time was a late night coffee and dessert. That time also the food was very good but the reception staff was short and unwelcoming.
Twice is enough for Lafiandra. There are alot of excellent mid priced Italian eateries in Singapore to spend our money.
A word of note to wait staff. We were two business men dining with company support. Support does not mean they cover wine and spirits. That is okay by use as we are former spirit consumers. I know it lends to a lower check but we should not be made to feel less than welcome because of it.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Singapore! Love the food! Love the owners! Excellent service! It’s a must try hidden gem!

We came here to celebrate a birthday. It’s slightly upmarket — a still or sparkling water kind of place. We had a fairly attentive waiter, though he did once miss refilling our glasses.
Don’t be put off by the relatively high price of the appetisers, the portions are correspondingly generous. Our pastas and pizzas were all well done. Not too salty, very fresh and comfortingly homely.
Overall, quite satisfying but slightly pricey.

When we arrived we ignored for a very long time. Even when we grabbed someone they were reluctant to serve us… they said the kitchen was very busy. Clearly they don’t understand that, even if the kitchen is busy, you acknowledge your customers. We ordered the Caprese salad, knowing it was a gamble as the quality of tomatoes in Singapore is very poor. I figured a nice Italian Trattoria would figure out how to get good tomatoes, but no, the tomatoes were even worse than you find in Fair Price. The pasta took a long time coming due to the slow kitchen, and was not bad, but not fantastic.

My favourite local Italian place in SG for reasonably priced no fuss Italian.
The pizzas are authentic, huge, and great value, registering at between $ 20 – 25. Easily enough for two people to share. Pastas similarly great servings and consistently well done. My favourite is their Spaghetti Mariana, which is generous in its amounts of seafood.
Nice ambiance inside, and especially outside at the museum. Wine is OK, well priced.

Am giving it a four star cos I didn’t had enough time to try their dessert but I’m pretty sure this is a five star restaurant.
My friend and I had about an hour to spare for dinner before rushing off to a nearby venue to catch a performance. It was a wet and dreary friday evening around 630pm. The restaurant was actually pretty empty but the atmosphere was still warm and cosy cos of the lighting and deco.
We quickly ordered our mains and didn’t had the time for any appetizers nor dessert due to the rush but we thoroughly enjoyed our mains!
Upon our order, a complimentary appetizer was served. Dont really know what’s in it but its on a slice of crispy bread and it tastes great.
Our mains were fantastic too. I ordered seafood pasta and my friend, a beef baked pasta. The portion was large and the ingredients were generous. Totally worth the price that we’re paying. We left feeling a little sad cos we didnt had time to try the dessert, would have loved to spend more time enjoying our food and try more stuff.
Would make a point to go there again!
