Casa Vostra — New Opening at Raffles City
Casa Vostra needs no introduction. Since opening at Raffles City in the former McDonald’s space, it has become one of the city’s most talked-about Italian restaurants, drawing queues for its distinctive spin on the classics.
At its heart is a devotion to craft and authenticity. Doughs are slow-fermented for over 48 hours before becoming the signature Newpolitan pizzas that’s light, crisp and delicately airy, or the Doublecrunch pizza-sandwich, a playful reimagining of tradition and easily my favourite on the menu. Everything is made in-house with a focus on clean flavours and quality ingredients, creating a dining experience that feels both approachable and refined, true to the spirit of a modern trattoria.
The Salmone Doublecrunch arrives with a crisp, light crust filled with smoked salmon, onion, rocket, burrata and capers. The richness of the salmon is lifted by the creaminess of burrata and the briny pop of capers, making it flavourful yet not overly heavy, a well-balanced choice for those who enjoy clean, layered flavours.
The Funghi Mafaldine is a bowl of comfort, with ruffled ribbons catching a glossy mushroom duxelle and black truffle. Perfumed and earthy, with just enough cheese to round off the edges, it’s both satisfying and excellent value for a handmade pasta.
The Prosciutto e Fichi pizza plays on salty-sweet harmony: Parma ham layered over fig purée with rocket, fiordilatte and toasted walnuts. The balance of jammy fig, creamy cheese, peppery greens and crunch makes it a standout, and it has quickly become a crowd favourite.
For something heartier, the Peposo delivers a Tuscan classic - black-pepper beef cheek braised until spoon-tender and paired with rosemary potatoes. The pepper heat builds gently, adding depth without overwhelming the palate.
To finish, the Coppa al Cioccolato layers 72% dark chocolate gelato with cream, a touch of rum and hazelnut crumble. It’s indulgent yet measured, a grown-up dessert that leans rich and cocoa-forward without tipping into sweetness.
