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.

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.

I've tried their aglio olio before and the miso butter today. It made me realize that miso and butter are not a good combination at all. It loses both the buttery and miso flavour, tasting more like mushroom sauce. Price-wise, I can't comment much as their target audience seems to be wealthy individuals, not me.
The female staff really has low patience and will ring the bell excessively when your order is being called. Sit outside if you don't want to be bothered. They also offer a student discount, but it's so minimal that it barely covers the hidden GST cost. You need to ask the staff to manually help you order as well, which is usually done by the female staff. However, she takes a very long time to reply and seems impatient when taking your order.
24/6/24: Tried their laksa aglio olio. It tastes about 50% like laksa and is very nutty, but not worth the price.

A very crowded lunch spot. I recommend going early. The ordering process was quite fuss-free, though the choices are somewhat limited.
I made my own pasta - dry laksa penne with prawn and baby spinach. It was very good, albeit a little too salty. Unfortunately, all my colleagues didn't really like their dishes. The smoked duck aglio only had three slices of duck! The classic was very basic. And my friend's carbonara was quite clumpy.
It's a basic place for lunch. I wouldn't specifically go out of my way for it.

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!

Ordered their Aglio Olio, Laksa Olio, and Creamy Alfredo! My favorite is their Laksa Olio, which comes with a good amount of shrimp. The pasta is good quality, reasonably priced, and they maintain consistent standards across all their outlets. Highly recommend!

A quick lunch date with my little pasta lover, where we can customize the type of pasta, the preferred sauce, and toppings! I would say it makes a good meal at a pocket-friendly price and is satisfying too!
My choice was Creamy Alfredo, with penne coated in a generous amount of Alfredo sauce, using fresh and good quality ingredients! I loved the tender smoked duck slices and generous portion of vegetables!
While V opted for her all-time favourite, Mac and Cheese! Look at that cheese pull!
If you'd like some sides, they have light meals to go along with. You can also order for takeaway! It's good to check them out with your friends and colleagues if you're working in the vicinity.

I had the Miso Butter pasta, which was a little oily, but I enjoyed the taste. It had very savoury Asian flavours due to the use of miso, with a hearty portion and good ingredients. I also enjoyed the Paninis, which are simple in execution yet so satisfying. The Ham, Egg and Cheese Panini makes a tasty breakfast/brunch option, whereas my preferred Beef Pepperoni, Chicken Ham & Marinara feels like pizza in toast form. The Mid Wings are tender and juicy as well.
