[Food Tasting] Media Party of Ricciotti 10th Anniversary
Ricciotti Riverwalk hosted its grand re-opening to unveil a whole new concept, design and menu. It was established in 2004 as an authentic Italian restaurant. The theme of the new re-opening is Benvenuti Casa which means 'Welcome Home'.
A new experiential dining where music, art and food come together at
Ricciotti. This is definitely a great welcome for patrons to have a new cultural
dimension for Italian dining.
Ricciotti has stayed true to its identity by putting quality, hard work and
pride to deliver an authentic yet affordable Italian Culinary experience in
Singapore.
Gero Dimaria is the Executive Chef of Ricciotti Riverwalk, he was born in the
United Kingdom, but he brought up with traditional Italian values in an Italian home with a love of
food. He shares the same passion for good food as does his family, with an avid
interest in cooking.
For their 10th Anniversary, the outlet at Riverwalk is now known as
Ricciotti (formerly known as Ricciotti Pizza Pasta Grill). I attended the Media
Party of Ricciotti 10th Anniversary as well as the food tasting
which was held at Ricciotti, the Riverwalk outlet.
In 2014, Ricciotti marks the celebration of a decade with a modern new
concept that embraces all things Italian, combining food with the arts, music
and culture.
Ricciotti has collaborations with Italian artists from different backgrounds
to make the restaurant’s dining concept more holistic and added to the ambience with
more Italian culture. We also had the chance to witness the unveiling of an
Italian artist work, as she did some touch up on an art piece that she was working during
the event.

LINGUINE AL GRANCHIO - I love this crab meat
pasta very much! It is really tasty, I am not a fan of creamy pasta in general,
but I find myself loving it after taking the first bite.
We rounded
up our food tasting with the finest Italian desserts platter...
TIRAMISU, CARROT CAKE and CANELLA SWEET PASTA is
the Chef's secret recipe that will leave you asking for more!
I am pretty captivated by the dessert pizza, as it
takes me to another level of dessert eating. It has a crispy crust that is topped
with raisins, cinnamon and icy sugar. Although they use simple ingredients, yet
it gave me a big fantastic feeling of crunchiness when taking a bite!
SOFFIATTO - One can never go wrong with Dark Chocolate Molten Cake with Gelato. A perfect pairing for dessert!
A sinful decedent dessert to end our satisfying food tasting, and I had a yummilicous food tasting and I love the intimate atmosphere and warm environment. Last but not least, thanks so much for having us at the party!
