Jamie’s Italian (Vivocity)

I am a big fan of Jamie Olivier. So when I know that his Jamie's Italian Restaurant is opening in Singapore, I must definitely go and try.

It was said to be affordable Italian cuisine, but I still feel that it's on a higher side. That dinner I had at Jamie's Italian was a treat from a friend. I think we burnt a big hole in her pocket.

The service staff at the front entrance is not very professional. My friend told her that we had a 4 adults and a baby chair for the baby, she argued with my friend that she did not mentioned about the baby and the baby chair. She insisted that she was right and my friend was wrong! Although she did in the end arrange a baby chair for us, we felt super unhappy with her service as she should not had argued with us on a small matter. My friend was super angry, but luckily their other service staff whom served our table were polite and friendlier.

The crispy squid portion was quite small. The dip was good, the squid itself was normal tasting.

Baked mushroom was delicious! I like the thin bread.

My main dish is the wid mushroom ravioli. I ordered the bigger portion - 8 pieces. Not too bad. But I find it a bit salty.

The amalfi lemon & basil iced tea was not my cup of tea. I do not like english tea without sugar. I asked for sugar syrup, but their sugar syrup tasted like diluted sugar water.
