Mozzarella Ball
Our dining experience commenced with the Mozzarella Ball (S$17++) which was deep-fried to a golden hue. It was superbly executed with a crisp, crunchy exterior and a smooth, silky interior consisting of Parma ham, sundried tomato and basil. Savoury, tangy and sweet flavours were harmonised to provide a perfect marriage of flavours.

Scialatielli Cacio
Another star dish was the Scialatielli Cacio (S$28++) which was a wondrous union of spaghetti with cacio cheese, black truffle pesto and cream sauce. The pesto was not too intense and was overshadowed by the pleasant earthy aroma and taste of the truffles. Creamy and flavourful, this creation was satisfying to the very last mouthful. What made it even more unique was that it was served in a cheese bowl and one could literally eat the entire bowl!

Spaghetti Frutti Di Mare
There is nothing more lip-smacking than a plate of mouth-watering pasta topped with fresh ocean catch. The Southern Italian classic, Spaghetti Frutti di Mare (S$25++), translated as Fruits of the Sea was cooked to an al dente texture and brimmed with fresh ocean treasures such as clams, prawns, and squid doused in a robust, homemade tomato based sauce.

Tiramisu
The Tiramisu (S$10++), which means ‘lift me up’ or ‘cheer me up’ is the stalwart of the classic Italian dessert menu. D.O.P Mozzarella Bar & Restaurant’s version is layered with fluffy cream, mascarpone cheese and sponge fingers immersed in just the right balance of espresso and liqueur.
