Basilico at Regent Hotel, originally uploaded by write2inbox.

Had a wonderful dinner at Basilico in Regent Hotel. The tortellini
with parmesan, in mushroom and truffle sauce ($30) was an absolute
delight. The dish that everyone seems to talk about, but with much
dissatisfaction, is the risotto alla pugliese ($31). It is a pretty
good risotto. Perhaps after some bad online reviews and such ,
basilico has buckled up their signature dish.

I was not told what risotto it was until I tried a small spoonful of
it. I could immediately taste the scallops and seafood. However, the
chunks of seafood were a little lacking in taste. The sauce is magnificent, the taste of the ingredient, unfortunately is not.

So, basilico at regent hotel in Singapore gets an above average rating
from me. I would say "recommended" if only the menu was more
comprehensive. There are only six pasta choices. For an Italian
restaurant, that's unforgivable. And I am a big fan of Italian food...
