\"\"Chef Takashi Okuno, who used to be the head chef at L\u2019Operetta<\/a>, helms the S&M dungeon-like Ristorante Luka at Tanjong Pagar<\/strong>, all black and gray with fences and bricks. He’s a second generation chef; his parents own an Italian restaurant in Tokyo. Like many Japanese chefs trained in Italian gastronomy, Okuno’s menu here reflects the\u00a0itameshi\u00a0<\/em>cuisine of fusing Japanese ingredients and Italian cooking methods.<\/p>\n

Ristorante Luka has a wood-fired oven for pizzas and grilled meats.<\/p>\n

There are some very interesting items on the menu: a whipped bottarga cream and pretzel<\/strong> ($10, bottarga is Italian salted and cured fish roe); housemade\u00a0wagyu bresaola\u00a0<\/strong>($12, bresaola is dry, aged beef);\u00a0smoked egg, wagyu, uni<\/strong> ($10, 2 pc); housemade\u00a0sausage<\/strong> ($14); and a selection of wagyu beef<\/strong> to be grilled in their wood-fired oven or traditional charcoal grill.<\/p>\n

\"\"Mr Fitness and I couldn’t eat so much so we only ordered two of their signature dishes. The handmade, housemade\u00a0plin agnolotti<\/strong> ($18) are rectangular pockets of pasta pillowed with shredded Piedmontese veal. It has a dense cheesey and buttery flavor but it is also delicate. Mr Fitness, who doesn’t like cheese, gave a whoop of delight and his face lit up. It tastes of home, warmth, and sunshine. Must order.<\/p>\n

\"\"The other signature dish, prosciutto e rucola burrata pizza<\/strong> ($23), is a simple pizza topped with mozzarella cheese, parma ham, arugula, cherry tomato, parmesan, burrata and balsamic dressing. It is also very good; traditional Italian ingredients that work together as a team like Sonny and Cher.<\/p>\n

Although I still prefer the crust at Alt Pizza<\/a> which I think serves the best pizzas in Singapore,<\/a>\u00a0the chewy crust here is airy and palatable, conjuring an image of home. Luka may possibly be my favorite pizzeria after Alt Pizza.<\/p>\n

We managed to catch the opening promotion and paid $42 for two persons<\/strong>. Next time, I should return with a bigger group of friends and try more dishes.<\/p>\n
