Trattoria Pizzeria Logic at Craig Place

Quite fun to have a branch of Trattoria Pizzeria Logic open up in Singapore. They hauled in a custom-built wooden kiln to churn out pizza using classic Naples-style pizza dough. I'm no fan of pizzas, and still don't particularly like it even if the crust and base are super thin. Obviously I'm no expert on them either. Hahaha.

We bravely turned up just a few days after it opened. The restaurant is spacious. It has a bar area with high stools, and an inner dining area with regular tables and chairs. Took a starter of boiled beef tongue with tomato sauce and salsa verde with anchovies, boiled potatoes and carrots. Not too bad at all. Obviously they brined the tongue, and I suppose it was meant to resemble bollito misty, but in this tiny starter portion, and using only beef tongue. Not the best rendition. This dish could do with a little more work in balancing the flavors.

The margherita was on a promotion that evening, priced at $9.90 instead of the usual S$26! It was a no brainer to get that. One slice sufficed for me. The man could easily polish off the rest. A good margherita is hard to come by too, and this pizzeria did a tasty version.

For the pasta, we opted for paccheri with Neopolitan meat sauce. The meatballs were good! When done well, the classic tomato sauce with pork pasta is comforting, unexciting and superbly satisfying. I saw the pasta carbonara. Cannot make it- it's kinda dry, but the fresh cream is a fail. We made it to dessert- a very unexciting tiramisu. Not the best, but okay. The menu has a wide-enough range for a table's different preferences and the food's decent enough for us to hop by if we want a simple pizza and a cold beer.
