Italian, Fusion, Non-Halal
While Tanjong Pagar is known for its stretch of Korean restaurants, do you know there is this Michelin-recommended Italian restaurant here. Buko Nero is a long-running neighbourhood joint along Tanjong Pagar, though I must say it was slightly hidden. It is helmed by Veneto-born Chef Oscar Pasinato while his wife Tracy Ng from Singapore runs the front of the house as the host.
For starters we had minestrone (Genova) style. This is a clear version of the archetypal soup we usually have. Light and hearty, this was a good start at 6.5/10
The scallops and caviar came next - antipasti. Not bad, albeit slightly overcooked. This was a 6/10. The caviar was the saving grace.
Next up the mains. My daughter had the house/week special gnocchi, and it was good. This is 7/10
My main, the octopus was also good - at 6.5/10. The bed of potato puree sauce was the clincher for me.
Overall, a cozy family style restaurant - probably 10 tables max. Chef Oscar constantly evolves his menu using seasonal produce, so be ready to find something new and aesthetic. The Michelin Guide Singapore acclaimed its Risotto with Saffron and Fermented Garlic.
Did you know that Buko Nero uses Acquerello rice? It is the world’s first aged white rice (Carnaroli, regarded by many as best for risotto) with its nutrient-rich germ. Definitely stuff to try next round.
Buko Nero’s simple yet innovative Italian fare with a touch of Asian makes it a sought-after dining spot this side of Singapore. While the setting inside was kind of dark, the overall vibes was surprisingly homely.
Buko Nero is a Michelin Select restaurant
