Tried this eatery for the first time. The taste was good, freshly cooked upon your order. I got the tomato Pomodoro spaghetti and added poached chicken and mushroom. The chicken definitely was not fresh; it tasted frozen and came with the skin on, which I don't think goes well in a pasta dish. The chicken karaage pieces were huge but with loads of fat and skin and thick batter. They were also slightly under-fried.

Ordered customised aglio olio. It was very oily and tasted so-so. The noodles served were angel hair. Personally, I prefer spaghetti.

Ordered the 'build your own pasta' with tomato-based spaghetti, poached chicken, and edamame, adding spicy and garlic flavours. It was alright, not bad.
The chicken was flavourful, but the sauce wasn't so much, making the overall experience lacklustre. Perhaps it needed a bit more salt and maybe basil.
The price point was okay, I guess. The protein was only 5 or 6 thin slices of meat.

Not my ideal place to eat during lunch time at work. The indoor seating is filled with food smells and the seats are cramped. Outdoor seating is better but limited. Pasta is served in disposable bowls and cutlery. Orders are made through self-order kiosks, and the queue can be quite long during lunch time.
I made a bad choice by ordering the Miso Butter Pasta with Chicken and Mushrooms. The first mouthful was so salty, and the bottom was very oily. I tasted miso but no butter. It was so oily that I almost lost my appetite. The only thing I liked was the texture of the angel hair pasta; it was al-dente. The portion size was just right for one.
The cost isn't cheap. It cost $11.50 without any drink or side. I ordered a cup of iced flavoured cooler at $3.50. It's a pricey lunch, and I might or might not visit this place again.

Got the Miso Butter ($10.90) and Butternut Kombu ($10.90) from the chef's signatures! I really enjoyed the sweet-savory taste of the Miso Butter and the creaminess of the Butternut Kombu. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente too! I'd recommend the prawn as a choice of protein, along with mushrooms.
It's affordable, tasty, and very convenient as it's located in the basement of Raffles Place MRT. Definitely worth a try for CBD workers :)

Ate this during lunch and it was so good! It was very flavourful and the shrimp was nicely cooked, going well with the pasta. The pasta itself was a bit too dry/hard, but honestly, I slurped it down pretty fast. I thought I ordered with truffle oil, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since I got it through delivery. However, if it indeed was the one with truffle oil, then I couldn’t taste the truffle. But okay, I would honestly try again! I wanted to try their panini, but they were out of stock. Hope they will also list the calories for this dish as well, since they do so for their paninis!

Went down today for lunch slightly before 12 pm, and it was already a bit crowded. There were even more people after, so I definitely recommend going before noon!
The food was amazing! We tried the creamy Alfredo and gochujang pasta. The creamy Alfredo penne had a lovely, milky sauce that I absolutely LOVE! ❤️ It wasn't overly dry like some pastas can be, and the sauce was actually a little on the soupier side, which I prefer! The penne was soft, and the bacon was great too. The gochujang pasta was spicy, so you'll need cold drinks, haha! The pasta itself was on the thinner side, which was quite nice too. The sauce was sweet and tasty. Overall, both dishes were so good! Definitely recommend, 10/10!

Delicious pasta. We decided to go for the Build Your Own Pasta option, with prices starting from $8.50. Each additional topping is from $1.20 after the first two choices.
Creamy spaghetti and aglio olio are always safe choices for us. The creamy pasta pairs well with truffle oil, though the truffle flavour wasn't strong enough. Still, it was good overall.
The Aglio Olio was light and aromatic.
The atmosphere is a minus point due to the open concept kitchen. You'll likely leave with a strong smell on your clothes as the ventilation isn't very good.
