Atmastel - Cucina Italiana
I had the honor of attending a private preview highlighting the restaurant's newly revamped menu which will be launched on 21st August 2018.
Below is a sneak peek of the introductory page of the new menu which now comes in a booklet. Very psychedelic with brilliant pictures of various foods. A menu which I think one will take time to browse and read like a magazine.
Antipasti - Tagliere Misto ($31.90)
A selection of artisanal cured meals with olives, pickles and homemade focaccia bread
Burrata Della Valle DÍtria ($26.90)
Burrata cheese with seasonal grilled vegetables, grilled homemade bread, extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil leaves.
Burrata (means buttery) is soft fresh Italian cheese made from a mix of mozzarella and cream. The burrata was not overpowering. A soft but yet slightly firm texture. A good marriage with the grilled vegetables which was slightly salty and brought out the butteryness of the burrata. The grilled bread was toasty. To top with the burrata cheese, it was heavenly.
Pizza Prosciutto di Parma E Rucola ($32)
Pizza made onsite. Topped with 24 months aged parma ham, mozzarella, rocket salad, shaved grana padano and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. Grana Padano is a hard, slow ripened semi fat cheese. Just out of the oven, the aroma of freshness of the pizza and the subtle charredness wafted through the air. Smelled good and tasted good.
Recommed to share this as it is a substantial size for about 3 to 4 pax.
Pappardelle Ai Funghi Porcini E Asparagi ($25.90)
Good to know that they handmade their own pastas. This pappardelle tossed with porcini mushroom and asparagus in a light creamy sauce. The porcini mushroom was tender and had a delectable sweetness. I find the pasta a tad thick and was chewy, but in a good way. This is probably quite a heavy dish due to the richness of the sauce. Recommended to share among 2.
Trancio di Branzino Grigliato ($32.90)
This was my favourite. Grilled seabass with red pepper and pachino tomato coulis. Seabass grilled with a crisp skin. Flavored with a dash of salt and pepper and a touch of ginger. Garnished with potato cylinder with lemon and thyme flavour, grilled veges and drizzled with extra virgin oil. No fishiness at all. Every component on this plate just works so well together. The sweet, salty and a tinge of citrussy flavors all well balanced on the palate.
Tagliata di Manzo Hokubee ($42.90)
Grilled Australian Wagyu with fresh rucola, pachino tomatos, shaved padano cheese and raspberry wine reduction.
Seared all round and still atad reddish inside. It was crisp and tender. Paired with rockets, tomatoes and shavings of padano cheese for that extra flavour. I love grilled beef so I definitely did like it. It was done medium for that juicy and moist mouthfeel.
Trilogia Del Pastry Chef (Chef's Choice of Three Desserts) ($13.90)
There is always room for dessert no matter how stuffed one is. A combination of sweet and tangy to please even the not so sweet tooth.
Collesi Beer Range
There are 8 types of beer. Bionda,Chiara, Ambrata, Rossa, Nera, Triplo Malto, Blanche and Jpa. I am not a drinker so I am unable to comment on these. But if you would like to know more about these beers, please do head to Atmastel and check them out.
Atmastel has a relaxing feel once you step into it. The ambience is cozy and it is a place where you can have a quiet meal or even hold your business meetings. It might not be very wallet friendly for some. But if you crave for Italian cuisine and do not want to pay too much for Italian fine dining, this might just satisfy your palate. Good to know that the restaurant do offer set lunches on weekdays at affordable prices.
This was an invited tasting.
Thank you Sharon @atmastel for the invite and Atmastel for hosting.
