Did anybody been to Bonta lately?? The handsome ang-moh chef more handsome now with crew-cut style. I have the white truffle with the pasta, simple and simply delicious with thin shavings of the gorgeous white truffle. How come such a plain looking thingy can be so tasty. It is worth every cent of the $60 plus dollars for that dish alone. The chef go round stylo-mylo do the instant white truffle shavings for the WT dishes. Services great and the service people so chatty and friendly. I have been a not-so-regular now become more-regular. Bonta highly recommended, go try at least once. What economic crisis, better spend to eat more to help the economy!!

I was celebrating my friends birthday at double o one day when i chanced upon Bonta, which is located right opposite it. Its decor caught my attention. So I looked it up on the website and decided to give it a go as I was deciding on a place to bring my mother for her birthday. I ordered black ink pasta and a pork rack for my mother. I have to say the food tasted well above my expectations (due to horrible experiences at other fine dining restaurants plus exoberant prices), and the pricing was quite reasonable for a fine dining restaurant. My mom enjoyed herself thorougly, with waiters coming to chat along knowing its her birthday. It was a really nice and homely experience and I'm definitely recommending my friends to Bonta again.

While in Singapore for the Formula One race I went to dinner with a couple co-workers from America. We ate at this amazing Italian restaurant. We were immediately seated upon arrival next to the bar. This is an and was elevated above the rest of the restaurant. It gave us a nice overview of the restaurant. One of the restaurant staff while chatting us up with pleasantries even invite us to a brief tour of the restaurant upon knowing that we are visitors to Singapore. We get to check out their Private Dining Room and the Wine Cellar after our meal. We were also told the chef have won couple of awards and a very friendly chef too. True to that, the friendly Chef Luca came round to greet us and recommended a specially prepared meal instead of ordering from the Ala Carte Menu. Although I do not recall all the names of the dishes that were placed before me I do recall starting with the Buffalo Mozzarella, the Ocean Trout followed by the Parma Ham which was one of my favorites for the evening. I believe that we then had the Goose Liver with a slightly thin type of pasta. One of our colleague could not have beef so we made the request to the chef and he choose to prepare for our Main Course the Roasted Mediterranean Seabass Fillet. I am considered by my closest friends to be a picky eater and would never order fish for my main course but this first visit to Bonta did change my mind a little about how fish can be so delicious and I will surely be a little more adventurous in future. And our desert was the Warm Melted Chocolate Cake with Rum Raisin Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce. The food was excellent not forgetting the great service too. And not only did I eat but I enjoyed everything that was set before me. The restaurant's Assistant Manager Kamal was not only very attentive to our needs but he was very entertaining as well which made the evening nice and very memorable. We spent about 4.5 hours enjoying our meal and the cool music and the nice ambience there too. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for an authentic Italian dining experience. We have the chance of tasting a few of the restaurant's dishes that are the Chef's own award winning creations. My only regret is I did not have time to return to try the Rack of Lamb during my stay in Singapore. It is simply wonderful and I will be back.

Anyway, we went back to Bonta lor. no queue and expensive. This is the place we saw Fann Wong and Christopher Lee eat one lor.. This one is the kurobuta pork for my boi. Very good leh. I regret never order this. Cos I tot was expensive. $46++.

I ordered the Wagyu beef with risotto. $39++. The gravy too strong and taste like beef stew lor. the left side is the risotto with a bit of gold on it. I gave the top bit to my boi to eat..

The bill came up to $212. Upon close examination, we ordered my fav, Foie Gras as starter which is $36++, but they recommended the special of the day to my boi, which is Angel Hair with Truffles, which works out to be $62! For starters!!! Luckily we din order that as a main..

Din take the photos of the starters as we were extremely hungry after a bad encounter at another place and hence decided to go to somewhere safe like Bonta for a calming dinner.

Bonta is my favorite restaurant in Singapore. The food is divine, Chef Luca, is an exceptional talent. The restaurant offers great value, delicious seasonal menus, great value business lunch and a great Sunday brunch. The truffle menu and caviar menu a fabulous for an indulgent night out. Dine outside alfresco or inside for a more formal atmosphere - either won't dissappoint. I have been there at least a dozen times. Great for a business function too.
