Modesto's

They stopped serving bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I was shocked by that because Modesto's has been my go-to place for Italian food for years and they have actually deteriorated in service. That aside, service was rather mediocre. However, food quality remained good. Their baked scallops with cheese was awesome, and the lasagna is absolutely to die for! We also had their tiramisu, which the hubby loved. Meanwhile, they have outdoor and indoor seating here - nice view of Sentosa across the water from the outdoor seats!

The restaurant was pretty quiet when we arrived for dinner and to me, an empty restaurant means bad food or bad service or worse, both! We had 2 starters and 2 pastas and they are all very nice actually! A most satisfying meal indeed! We had: Prosciutto Ham and Melon - lovely combo of salty and sweet!! The cuts of ham were generous and the melon slices were so sweet! That equates to heavenly bites every bite! Very nice! Calamari - the batter was pretty bland but still crispy. Average nice. Bacon Carbonara - wonderfully creamy and the savoury bits of bacon made the overall taste very enjoyable. Seafood Linguine - am impressed with their seafood both in amount and freshness level. I am very happy with this pasta dish as the flavour is spot on and the tomato sauce is tasty. We will definitely be back for more yummy pasta!
