Etna Siglap for Lunch
Etna Siglap Review: Tucked away in Siglap, ETNA is where Italy meets East Coast, and I’m not talking about a beachside gelato cart. This cozy trattoria might look unassuming, but once you step inside, you’re transported to Sicily faster than you can say “ciao!” With the smell of wood-fired pizzas and fresh pasta wafting through the air, you’ll wonder if you’ve mistakenly wandered into a Nonna’s kitchen. But don’t worry, no apron required—just an appetite big enough to handle their hearty Italian portions.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Another Italian restaurant in Singapore?” But ETNA isn’t your average pasta joint. It’s where authentic Sicilian flavours come to life, leaving you dreaming of the Amalfi coast (or at least another plate of bruschetta or beef tartare). So, if you’re desperate for a little European escape, ETNA Siglap is your go-to place. Get ready for an Italian food coma, folks, and please check that Etna Specials Board.
Etna Siglap Review: We had a walk on Sunday through Siglap, originally planning to have dinner at Jude’s favourite, Chicken Bum aka Mikawa. But that was packed, so our alternative became Etna Siglap for lunch. What a cracking place this is for lunch or dinner.
We love it here at Etna Siglap. As we walk in they immediately recognise you, say hi, and ask where the missing family members are. They even remember your favourites. It has quality food, a lovely atmosphere, and a brilliant staff. It’s a must-do restaurant – you have to try this. We keep on returning again and again. What did we eat today?
Amazing bruschetta here. So so fresh, and flavourful. The bread is crispy and doughy at the same time. Get a little salt on there and this is winner winner… BBB. Brilliant Bruschetta
I went for the Specials today and got stuck in to this bad boy. A HUGE Wagyu steak. Perfectly cooked, as in perfect and served with this bonkers good Bernaise sauce. Oh my goodness this was nuts good!
Ollie gets going with tuna tartare with caviar. That is one beautiful-looking stack dish. He said it was really good, ever so fresh, full flavourful fish with a delicious white sauce to boot.
Dessert time now. Again another massive family favourite Biancomangiare, or almond panna cotta with white chocolate. Hell yes.
Lovely hot chocolate melts the white chocolate, and then there is the panna cotta. So delicious.
What's good at Etna?
At ETNA Siglap, some of the must-try dishes include:
- Burrata – Creamy, melt-in-your-mouth burrata paired with cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil. Perfect for starting your meal.
- Tagliolini al Tartufo – A rich and decadent homemade pasta, infused with fragrant truffle, and served with a creamy sauce. It’s a crowd favourite for truffle lovers.
- Pizza Sicilia – Wood-fired pizza with a thin crust, topped with Sicilian anchovies, cherry tomatoes, and a blend of mozzarella and ricotta cheese. It’s savoury, tangy, and utterly delicious.
- Agnello al Forno – Slow-cooked lamb in a wood oven, served with roasted potatoes. Tender, flavourful, and cooked to perfection.
- Tiramisu – The classic Italian dessert done right! Light, airy, and generously dusted with cocoa powder.
Conclusions of our Etna Siglap Review
There you have it Etna Italian Restaurant Siglap for lunch. Mikawa’s loss was our gain. What an absolutely superb lunch all around. Steak was the winner – a giant thing that we all had some of. It was just so good. We even had second helpings of the sauce.
Just insanely good. It sure is a die-die must-try in my reckoning. Shiok indeed. Just a fantastic lunch. Love you guys and be seeing you soon. You have to come, and 100% you will – ENJOY!!!
