Garibaldi Italian Restaurant & Bar

Garibaldi Italian Restaurant & Bar

36 Purvis Street
+65 6837 1468

=================================

This was the second restaurant that I have been to for this year Restaurant Week. 

This year, the Restaurant Week was held on 19 to 25 March 2012. 
What is so special about Restaurant Week is that award winning restaurants will serve set lunch and set dinner at very discounted prices. 

The set lunch is priced at $25 ++  while the set dinner is priced at $35++.

After hearing many reviews about Garibaldi, we decided to give it a try. 
As this restaurant is marked with a Dining City star, there is additional cost of $15 per person. 
This adds up to $40++ per person. 

I liked the ambience of the restaurant. A perfect place for dates. 
Although it is very crowded during the Restaurant Week,  I believe it should be quieter on normal days.
One of my favourite dish was the antipasti. I like the beetroot salad as the beetroot tasted sweet, unlike the typical beetroot taste. 
As for the main course, I would prefer the potato dumpling as it is good for people who liked the strong lamb flavour. This dish was definitely better than those found at other restaurants. 

The service was good as the staff was very attentive. Also, they make it a point to remember the items ordered by each patron so as to make your experience memorable. 

I am definitely looking forward to the next Restaurant Week, which will be held on October 2012.

Rating
Yummy-ness of food : 4/5
Pricy-ness of food : 3/5 (Pretty reasonable as it amounts to $40++/pax for a set lunch. On a typical day, this would cost more than that.)
Overall Experience : 3/5 (This restaurant is good but Italian food is not my preference.)
