Pasta Bar - The Original

Pastas were all amazing, very al dente and full of flavour! Favourites were the saffron crab pappardelle and the mushroom stuffed pasta! Carbonara was pretty good too. Wagyu beef tartare was good, and they gave us more crostini because we finished ours. Grilled octopus was very good as well, nice char, lovely sauce and perfectly cooked. Still or sparkling water at $3 per pax. We were served by Amy and she was super lovely, just the right amount of attentiveness! Will be back to try other flavours!

We ordered the focaccia, carbonara frita, 3 pasta dishes: cacio e pepe, lumache and lobster linguine and we had the pistachio tiramisu and the passionfruit crème brulee for dessert. I love the salt in the focaccia, it was also nice and fluffy, and the frita was a good start to our meal. The pastas were cooked to perfection, the lumache sauce tasted like my Italian mother-in-law’s. It was my first time trying the lobster linguini but it tasted like my long time comfort dish. The cacio e pepe is a simple dish yet it executed well and packed with flavour. The desserts were amazing! Best pistachio tiramisu I’ve had, even better than the ones I’ve tried in Melbourne, and the crème brulee is the perfect ending to our wonderful meal. It’s light, refreshing and it complemented the pasta dishes really well. My compliments to Chef Chubby. The staff are really friendly and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing. It’s the place to go if you want to share good food with love ones. I can’t wait to come back!

A good friend treated me to a lovely birthday dinner at Pasta Bar, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I’ve had! The ambience, service, and food were all fantastic. We started with the polpo and burratina, both absolutely delicious. For pasta, we went with the cacio e pepe, lumache alla vodka, and frutti di mare. Chef Chubby was so kind and patiently described each dish as it was served. I loved not only the unique and delicate flavours of each pasta but also the generous portions! The open kitchen concept was a highlight for me — it’s so enticing to see everything being freshly made right before your eyes. We had such a great time — highly recommended! P.S. Thank you so much for the birthday cake and song from the thoughtful staff members :)

Did a walk-in today and was able to snag a table. Staf were very courteous and able to sit us at the kitchen in the centre. Great view of the chefs making our pasta. Had the Lamb Ragu, Saffron Crab Pappardelle, Seared Scallops and the Tiramisu. All excellent dishes! Definitely a return in our book!

I had enjoyed the food thoroughly at Pasta Bar during my first visit that I insisted to return here for the second time to celebrate my birthday on August 2025. Pasta Bar did not disappoint. During my second visit, I was served by Marlon, who was attentive, kind and professional. Although my family and I chose to not get water, Marlon offered us complimentary ice water regardless when our appetiser was served, hoping it will help to cleanse our palettes so that we could enjoy each bite of the starter. His actions showed extreme thoughtfulness, as he wanted my family and I to enjoy the flavours of each dish fully and I really appreciated that. When the pistachio tiramisu arrived, Marlon offered us additional scoops of the dessert despite my family and I only ordering three portions. He mentioned that he wanted to make my birthday a memorable one, and he sure did. Overall, Pasta Bar is my go-to place if I am looking for exquisite dishes cooked to perfection with each pasta dish having multiple layers of flavours, making each bite filled with satisfaction. The pistachio tiramisu at Pasta Bar has 100% won me over, with each mouthful filled with the nuttiness from the pistachio and the creaminess from the mascarpone. It was well-balanced, perfect for pistachio and tiramisu lovers. I just wished the pistachio tiramisu could be a permanent dessert on the menu, as I would gladly return to Pasta Bar just to get my hands on it. Lastly, the kindness and attentiveness of the servers at Pasta Bar is an extreme plus point as I could see the dedication of the servers in making their patrons' experience a meaningful and enjoyable one. I'll be back for more.

After these yrs… decided to try Pasta Bar. And now I know why this plc is packed especially during dinners/ weekends. I didn’t sit at the bar counter. Will try next time. We had their scallops with sweet corn puree as appetizer. For mains, we had Sea Urchin Tagliolini and Gamberetti Giggle Bronze cut eggless pasta, Argentinian red prawns. The latter was very good. For dessert, we had the creme brûlée and the pistachio tiramisu. Their tiramisu is very good too. The pistachio nut taste is rich. We also had 3 glasses of wine too. So the bill came up to be quite ex for us. I will be back to try their other speciality handmade Pasta!

Not the most value-for-money pasta option. Portions are small, and flavours aren't that complex. The handmade pasta is definitely good though, I like the al dente texture. We tried the: • Ciriole Carbonara: This was alright, for sure better than most places, but it got a bit jelak after a few bites. The taste was a bit too one dimensional, would have preferred more pepper to balance out the richness. • Crab Pappardelle: I preferred this dish over the previous one as it was less cloying. However, it also lacked the complexity of flavours I had anticipated. Perhaps the addition of grated cheese atop all the pasta dishes prevents the main ingredients from taking centre stage. Seats weren't very comfortable, as they offer mainly counter seats for small groups. It was nice to see the chefs preparing the dishes though. Service was alright, though the staff seemed slightly pushy when asking if we wanted drinks and desserts... Overall, I won't be back again as it really isn't very worth the price. Reservations are definitely needed if you're coming though. It was quite full on a weekend lunch when we visited.

I had pretty high expectations for this place! Maybe I’m a little biased since I’m not the biggest fan of pasta, but we ordered the beef tartare and it turned out to be my favourite dish of the night really well done (but not really because it’s raw 🤣) The sea urchin tagliolini was enjoyable, with a subtle sweetness that I think came from the egg yolk. The crab pappardelle was creamy and comforting almost like an elevated crab mac & cheese. I’d love to come back one day to try their tomato-based pasta for a more complete review of the place. Overall it’s a great place! It was a bit of a squeeze if u sit at the bar, but u get to watch the cooks prepare your food so that’s a plus.

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.
