Pasta Bar - The Original

I don’t usually write food reviews unless the experience is truly exceptional — and The Pasta Bar definitely deserves a solid 5-star! The food was absolutely amazing, but what stood out even more was the service. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly throughout our meal. I only wish I had gotten their names to thank them personally! Highly recommend this gem. Thank you for such a memorable birthday dining experience.

I’m writing this in the midst of my meal here - it was so good! Pastas were of good quality (Uni pasta) and the grilled octopus was really well-done too. We got the bar seats - highly recommend you sit here too, so you get to watch the chefs in action. Ambience was great, service staff were nice & polite. They’ve got a weekend brunch at $45++ which is super value for money!

Ciao Everyone! Straight to the point with a lil bit more of the story 😁 - my friend saw the restaurant on TikTok. It was happening and food looks so yummy, hence we gave it a try. Reservation needs deposit and ain’t refundable or so I understand. Initially reserved for two but ended up 3. They said they will try to squeeze and I requested if they can arrange a table indoors- nope they can’t. Too full. When my friends came, they’re not happy with the table outside (can refer to the outdoors photo) so one of my friends asked again (firmly) then they managed to give us a table for 4. Hmmm. Anyways thanks for the arrangements (forced). Service- unfortunately we didn’t feel the warmth. Servers were not friendly and to a point taught or corrected my guest how to pronounce the item on the menu. She was Embarrassed! I was embarrassed because this was my bday celebration and my guess was embarrassed. After we’ve finished our dinner and heading out, The manager (perhaps/unsure-though we recognised because he served the other tables as well) was seated outdoors on his laptop didn’t even say goodbye not make an eye contact with us. P.s. they seemed to rush on clearing plates too. We’re truly disappointed with the service. Food: Some dishes are good and some overly hyped. My friend even checked the post on TikTok because one of the Pasta dishes didn’t look the same - portion was too small in real life 😅. We’ve given feedback about the ravioli but we felt we were brushed off. Because instead of noting it The server Said maybe you took a while to eat it. The friendly ones are the chefs in line- they will smile and nod while cooking even if you were just passing by the island show kitchen. Water is charged but refillable, one good touch was they have condiments you can put in and with your water like lemon, lime and I think orange. We had 3 appetisers 3 pastas And water for almost $300 No drinks no desserts and unfortunately we still left hungry. Ambiance was good but We will give it a miss next time. Sad 😞

I finally tried Pasta Bar after hearing so much about it — and I have to say, I get the hype… sort of. We had the appetizer which is the soft shell crab tacos, nice flavours but only two pieces. The pasta itself? Fantastic. You can tell it’s handmade and cooked perfectly al dente, with rich, flavourful sauces that actually make you slow down to savour every bite. I had the Tagliatelle beef ragu ($34), and it was easily one of the best I’ve had in Singapore. My friend’s sea urchin tagliolini pasta was also beautifully done, with just the right brininess and kick. But here’s the catch: for the price we paid, the portions felt a little small. The ingredients, while high quality, were minimal too. The Japanese bafun uni only 3-4 pieces while the rest of the pasta was soaked up in the sea urchin broth. ($42) They gave us tongs to take the pasta and also advised us to eat this dish first. I left feeling like 70% full. And the service? I don’t understand why the waiter had to be in a hurry to clear the plates. We were sitting at the bar counter and having a conversation, so he had to go in the middle of both of us to clear the plates, doing it twice and interrupting our convo.

This is one of my favourite Pasta places in Singapore. Pasta Bar’s freshly and very tasty handmade pasta is cooked to perfection and always comes with many delicious meat, seafood for vegetarian sauces and ingredients. On our last visit I had the beef ragout and my wife tried the crabmeat pasta. Both were amazing. My wife went for the lunch set which included delicious scallops in cheese sauce and came with a cheese cracker in addition to the creme brûlée desert. We shared both the entree and desert and were super satisfied. Almost a bit too much as the portion sizes are generous here. Unexpectedly and super friendly one of the chefs offered us a slice of their Tiramisu on the house. That is great service and reminded me of dining in Europe. Can’t wait for our next visit. This is a five star restaurant great for dinner and lunch. Reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment! Pro Tip: order some fresh shaved truffles (off menu) when in season.

Amazing atmosphere especially the bar counter, and every single staff is so welcoming, warm and kind! The chefs were great too, and I ordered scallops for starters and Truffle pasta as mains which was very tasty, well cooked to perfection and the pasta was generously topped with sliced truffle chunks. Honourable mention is the scallops starters, tastes exactly to my liking. Will definitely come back and will also definitely recommend to give this place a try

One of the best pastas in Singapore! This is the ultimate date night spot if yo want a lovely meal and a great vibe. Get a seat at the bar and enjoy the theatre of the chefs prepping all the meals. Their desserts are divine but you’ll be too full after ordering an extra plate of pasta to share 😂

Absolutely loved the Kaya tiramisu—so unique and delicious! The service was warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. I especially enjoyed the live cooking right in front of the guests—it adds such a fun and personal touch. The lobster was seasoned to perfection. A truly lovely place, I’ll definitely be back!

Great place to come enjoy pasta. Service is great and everyone is very knowledgeable about the menu. The burrata is the best I've had in Singapore. Would come here just for that. Otherwise you can't go wrong with the pasta dishes but overall they are on the salty side hence deducting a star

Really fresh pasta, which was tasty. Some of the portions are small, depending on what you get. Small, intimate ambiance. Good service.
