PizItalia – Italian Chilli Crab (CLOSED)

If you visit East Coast often, and love to dine by the sea, hop by PizItalia, the new seafood restaurant in Singapore. Fusing the rich flavors of the sea and the jewels of the Italian soil, the restaurant introduces the best seafood meal concoctions and Italian culinary ingenuity, all rolled into one.

Started approximately a month ago, PizItalia is opened by a French, Christian Mugnier. However, his mother is an Italian, so he has been immersed in this culinary tradition since childhood. There are two local chefs here, one cooks the Italian food, the other cooks the Chinese food. If you have been to Don Grill Bistro at Joo Chiat Road, Chef Michael is definitely not a stranger.

We started with a Regina Pizza ($17.50). The thin pizza crust is topped with tomatoes, mushrooms, turkey ham and mozzarella cheese.

Butter Prawn Linguine ($15.50) is a special creation by Chef Michael and we love it very much. Long pasta is cooked al dente in a heavenly concoction of butter, curry leaves and topped with fried egg yolk. It tastes similar to Butter Crabs, but not creamy at all! *highly recommend*

Living in Singapore, you probably have tried our Singapore Chilli Crab. But at PizItalia, they sell Italian Chilli Crab (market price). So what exactly is that? Actually, it tastes similar to the Singapore style, except that italian herbs and spices are added into the dish. Meaning to say, it is much more spicy than what you have ate in Singapore (Singapore style chilli crabs are much sweeter).

Because the owner is a French with Italian origins, and these two countries love wine, there is also a Winemarket beside the restaurant. There are a wide selection of small wine producers at affordable price. For eg: Chilean wine costs $13.90, French Bordeaux at less than $20 a bottle. There is also a wine board for diners to make the right food pairing choice.

And that is not all, if you want to have a romantic meal with your other half, but is worried about your children, bring them to Jurakids! It is the largest indoor playground in the restaurant. The kids will be attended by their childcare staff and they will enjoy ball pool, slide, tunnel etc.

When you visit the restaurant, you will first be greeted by Terry, the T-Rex! Fear not, the dinosaur is the mascot for Jurakids Land, and they only eat pizzas!
