salmon pasta - portion extremely small, definitely not sufficient if taken as main dish.

Prawn n scallop pastas looked better than it tasted. 

Tube pasta with minced lamb tasted like most lasagne that you would find in an average restaurant. Nothing much to shout about. 

Overall the food did not live up to our expectations. Would probably be good for the average foodie but if like us you know your food and have been around and know the really good stuff out there, you would know what we mean.

for the money we would still recommend Romanos along upper Thomson anyTime

Absolutely loved this place. Another one of my favourites in the city. Got to be one of the most authentic places for Italian food in Singapore. A lot of new places are popping up around the city these days which is great, but it's nice to go to a restaurant that makes you feel right at home straight away. Squid ink pasta and the calamari starters are my favourite dishes. Been a few times. Never been let down yet.

Pasta Brava is full of old-world charm. Nestled in a little turn along Tanjong Pagar Road, the Italian restaurant is an eclectic two-story conservation shop house that looks unassuming from the outside. Step inside and Pasta Brava’s homely feel sets a heartwarming note for your meal, thanks to its Peranakan-themed decor.
Pasta Brava also shows its seriousness as a true Italian restaurant with its offering of fresh hand-made pasta. And the Ravioli con Carne di Manzo Al Gorgonzola was another affirmation of its reputation. Out the many different sauces to go with ravioli, this was the rare ones with  melted gorgonzola cheese as a sauce. But what was more amazing was the pasta itself. The firm texture from the first few bites affirms the amount of skill and dedication put into the preparation. The sauce was also smooth and light, which complements the redolence of the mince beef fillings that really opens up your appetite for more.
