Cugini Trattoria Pizzeria Review
This is one of those Joo Chiat restaurants that you can’t stay away from. If you have not been I highly recommend you do because it is an absolutely wonderful place with some of the very best Italian food eaten by these old lips.
Read on as we’ll be sharing the Cugini Menu & Pricing.
We had this place recommended by a few, including our very own Mrs Knibbs and even one of our ChillaxBBQ food supplier partners. The funny thing is we tried to book a few times to go for Saturday lunch after Jude Jude’s Chinese lessons, but could never ever find a slot.
Today we happened to walk past and saw the outside seating area was quite empty so took a walk-in chance and success. We had a wonderful lunch today. No, it was a superbly wonderful lunch today. We’ll be back here, that is a certainty. Read on for the Cugini Review.
The Cugini restaurant location is at 37 Joo Chiat Place which is right next door to the Spanish Grill restaurant Asador which is located at 51 Joo Chiat Place. Asador Singapore which is another of those Joo Chiat restaurants we keep coming back to time and time again. Make sure you check out the Asador Review
Cugini Trattoria Pizzeria Singapore
We chose to sit outside in this Mediterranean-style, airy almost feeling beachy area. Bloody brilliant. We felt abroad. Now that is very important during this Covid-19 period. To be transported somewhere else felt fantastic. Great atmosphere. Superbly styled. An incredible open kitchen and stunning food to match.
I will have one moan though about lunch today, which was the delivery of the food. Let me caveat no complaints re the food quality as you will see shortly and no complaints about the serving crew, all of whom were just lovely. It was a ‘when’ thing. We got Wifey’s main course 1st after a long wait post initial order, then waited 20 minutes and a starter appeared, 10 minutes and another starter, main, starter, then the rest of the mains and we even had one forgotten starter which we had to re-order. When we got the food there was nothing but compliments about how stunning it was, but the ‘delivery execution’ felt adrift from the rest of the experience.
A weird niggly thing in this Cugini Review – let’s get it out of the way and move on.
It really is such a stunning place inside and out. But, I am so glad we chose outside on this sunny and airy day as it really did make it feel like we were sat somewhere else on this planet. We were transported by food and the ambience of this place. Be proud of that Cugini crew, that’s a unique skill & capability.
Very happy campers with our lunch today. It was an absolute belter of a lunch. Absolutely some of the very best Italian food we have had as a family. Without a doubt.
And seriously it feels like you are eating overseas on a beach.
As usual let’s hear from them, their own Cugini Review. I really could not agree more with what they say…
“Traditional Italian Cuisine at its finest. The first collaboration between Executive Chef Mauro Muroni and General Manager Gerri Sottile, Cugini is a popular dining destination in Singapore, serving traditional Italian gastronomy in a trattoria setting.
Inaugurated in August 2009 in 87 Club Street, after a successful run of 11 years, Cugini Trattoria Pizzeria continues its success by relocating to 37 Joo Chiat Place in October 2020. The new upgraded concept has a Sardinian and Sicilian touch, including an Italian custom-made wood-fired pizza oven and a traditional charcoal grill. Inspired by heartwarming, comfort food, Mauro brings together authentic, homemade Italian flavours in a modern way.”
Cugini Restaurant Conclusion
I think the references and recommendations I was given were under-rated because we were blown away by the food here today because you should be proud Cugini crew because without a doubt that was some of the very best Italian food we have had in our 13 years in this country.
It is also up there as likely some of the very best Italian food ever had. Such quality dishes, one after the other. We’ll be seeing you very soon because we loved lunch, and we loved the restaurant.
Thank you Cugini Trattoria Pizzeria for such a great time today. Folks this is a must try location if you have not been before.
Hoping you enjoyed the Cugini Review.
ENJOY!!!
