Lunch Menu
A midday ritual for those who live, work, and play around Joo Chiat — lighter, fresher, and made for every kind of luncher.
Take it at your own pace: Settle in for a 3-Course Set Lunch ($42++), complete with your choice of antipasto, main, and dessert — or linger a little longer with our 5-Course Pasta Tasting Menu ($88++), a journey through Italy’s regional pastas, each crafted by hand and served with quiet indulgence.
Set Lunch highlights range from a Linguine Vongole slicked with briny claims, garlic butter and white wine, to our tomato-based Biricci alla Norma with fried eggplants and ricotta salata, and a hearty braised wagyu short rib (Brasato al Limone) with polenta; while our 5-Course Pasta Tasting Menu presents seasonal pastas including the bright simplicity of Linguine al Limone to the meaty decadence of Umbricelli alla Norcina with pork sausage and black truffles.
Available every Tuesday to Sunday, 12pm to 2.30pm.
