There are two places I can recommend: 1. La Villa in River Valley has a funghi pizza to die for.... you can taste the generous truffles added to the pizza. 2. Valentino's at Rifle Range Road.... it's home cooked rustic true to form Italian fare.
Try Cacio e Pepe in Hillview area, off Upp BT Rd. Cozy neighbourhood italian joint so parking can be a little challenging during the weekends. 2 items in their menu really stands out : Parma ham pizza with Arugula (v generous servings of Rocket leaves) and chocolate lava cake (ice cream is served in a separate cold ramekin-like dish so you will have unmelted ice cream to enjoy right up to the last crumb of your lava cake ingenious!). We also loved their anti-pasto platter - very tasty!
thanks for your suggestions!I have found a place too. They have an adventureland where I could leave the kids playing while us adults, could concentrate more on devouring our pizzas and pastas. They also serve wonderful drinks and gave free ice cream to the kids. The place is VivItalia in Tampines.
They have a website - you could check it out. www.vivitalia.sg
