Cult favourite Italian casual dining concept Casa Vostra continues its expansion across Singapore with the opening of its third outlet at Tampines Mall on 15 May 2026. Marking its first foray into the East, the 58-seater space brings the brand’s warm, approachable take on Italian dining closer to heartland diners. Even more enticing, the Tampines outlet debuts a selection of new dishes, giving East-side diners early access before they roll out to other locations.
Frittatina alla Scamorza
We started our meal with the Frittatina alla Scamorza ($11), a comforting antipasti that delivered both texture and flavour. Crisp and golden on the outside, the deep-fried parcel reveals a molten centre of scamorza cheese, a southern Italian cow’s milk cheese known for its gentle smokiness and stretchy consistency. The addition of honey and a touch of lemon brightens the richness, while thyme lends a subtle herbaceous lift. It’s a simple yet satisfying starter that sets the tone for the meal.
Agnolotti al Branzino e Gamberi
Moving on to pasta, the Agnolotti al Branzino e Gamberi ($27) offers a lighter, seafood-forward option. The delicate pillows of agnolotti are filled with a mixture of sea bass and paired with Argentinian prawns, bringing a natural sweetness to the dish. Tossed with capers and San Marzano Tomato DOP, the sauce is gently tangy without overpowering the seafood. Finished with fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, the dish is clean, elegant and well-executed.
Luicano’s Spaghetti Alla Carbonara
For something more indulgent, we tried Luciano’s Spaghetti alla Carbonara ($21). The pasta is cooked to a satisfying al dente bite and coated in a rich, creamy emulsion of egg yolk, Pecorino and Parmigiano Reggiano. The guanciale adds a savoury depth with its rendered fat and crisp edges, enhancing the overall flavour profile. While undeniably comforting, the richness can feel a little heavy after a few mouthfuls, making it a dish best shared.
Pizza (Half-And-Half)
One of Casa Vostra’s highlights is its Half-and-Half Pizza option, perfect for indecisive diners. We opted for a combination of the Margherita Affumicata ($19++) and Prosciutto e Nduja ($24++). The Margherita Affumicata builds on the classic with layers of smoked provola and a housemade smoked mayonnaise, adding a subtle smokiness that elevates the familiar combination of San Marzano tomatoes, fiordilatte and fresh basil. On the other hand, the Prosciutto e Nduja delivers a bolder profile, pairing prosciutto cotto with spicy Calabrian nduja, pickled onions and fried sage. The interplay of creamy, smoky, tangy and spicy elements makes this half particularly more complex and flavour-packed. Together, the half-and-half format offers both comfort and excitement in a single pie.
Tiramisu
To round off the meal, the Tiramisu ($13) provides a classic finish. Layered with mascarpone cream and coffee-soaked savoiardi, the dessert strikes a balanced note between sweetness and bitterness. The use of decaffeinated coffee ensures a milder flavour, making it accessible for all diners while still delivering that familiar tiramisu character.
Ballini and Aperol Spritz
Complementing the meal, the Bellini ($16) made with Botter Prosecco N.V. and fruit purée is light and refreshing. At the same time, the Aperol Spritz ($17) delivers its signature bittersweet citrus notes, perfect for pairing with the richer dishes.
Casa Vostra’s Tampines debut successfully brings its signature casual Italian charm into the neighbourhood, with the added draw of exclusive new dishes. The menu strikes a balance between comforting classics and inventive touches, making it a reliable spot for both casual meals and group gatherings. With its approachable pricing, welcoming ambience and thoughtful offerings, it’s easy to see why Casa Vostra continues to resonate with diners across the island.
Note: This is an invited tasting.
