Need a place to bring a date? Craving pasta? Try this cozy and intimate eatery at Goldhill Centre which serves very good pasta. (By `very good' I mean better than I can ever cook on my own, for example, I like Pastamania but it isn't `very good' because I can reproduce their pasta in my kitchen.)
Over two visits, I've tried the Pasta alla Carbonara (rich and creamy), Lasagna Emiliana (yum!), Pappardelle alla Venexiana (my first pasta in a saffron sauce; won't be the last), a tomato cream pasta with bacon and mushroom (very rich and filling; it was served with a flat and fat homemade pasta that filled the belly) and a penne pasta with crabmeat and tomato sauce (this one didn't have as much wow! factor as the others but it was a lighter pasta, and good for offsetting the richness of the others).
Wholly satisfying.
This yahoo user thinks Al Forno Trattoria is snotty. I thought it was very nice actually. Dim Sum Dolly recommends the Tiramisu. I'm not a dessert person so I wouldn't know. Al Forno Trattoria also specialises in traditional thin-crust pizzas baked over a wood-fire oven. According to this source, it was the first restaurant to introduce thin-crust pizzas to Singapore in 1992.
Cost: about $25-30 per person without wine, appetizer or desert.
