“The waiters at Lafiandra give professional and honest recommendations and aren’t stiff and formal like those at high-end dining areas.”
What
sets it apart from others:
“Lafiandra
has earned a reputation for great Italian
food by word of mouth, and I heard
that chefs from other Italian
restaurants choose to dine here, too,”
Anne explains.
It's
not just the food:
Anne believes that an eating experience
isn’t just about the food. Ambience
and service are equally important factors.
“The waiters at Lafiandra give professional
and honest recommendations from their
menu, and they aren’t stiff and
formal like those at high-end dining areas.
They are an experienced, relaxed, and
warm bunch, and because of that, their
service stands out.”
Exactly
how good is there service:
“I’ve been to both outlets
at Prinsep Street and the Singapore Arts
Museum, but I recommend the latter because
of a particular waiter. I’ve yet
to find out his name, but he’s a
middle-aged man with slightly dark skin
tone.”
Piece
of advice:
Make a reservation even on non-peak
hours, as it’s a pretty popular
place. “There are also two reasons
you should make their starters your main
course: Besides its large portions, their
starters are so good, my friends and I
often end up ordering six starter dishes
and would be too full to have any of the
desserts.”
Sets
you back by:
Do set aside about $40 per person
for a very substantial meal at Lafiandra.
Anne feels that the pricing is pretty
mid-range considering the high quality
food they serve.
She
likes it so much that:
“I make a point to go back
once or twice a month, and I’ll
make a point to fit in their desserts
on the next trip.”
