PROMETTENTE Pasta
Located near the Yongchun MRT Station, the main dishes are almost all priced below $300, with desserts included and no extra charge for additional pasta, offering a heartfelt and creative Italian pasta experience.

For dine-in, the comfort level of the seating is relatively poor, with low tables and chairs, and the chairs being canvas folding chairs, which can be uncomfortable for long sitting. Therefore, I prefer takeout, which also offers a 10% discount (cash payment).

This restaurant is affordable yet not sloppy; each pasta main dish comes with a dessert panna cotta (you can choose between original flavor or brown sugar amber), and you can upgrade the meal with a rich and sincere white sauce seafood chowder and bread for an extra charge.

It’s worth mentioning that the chowder here is definitely not just a mere "soup." The base is rich and flavorful, with substantial ingredients (seafood, potatoes), and has a complex layering. I highly recommend adding the chowder!

My undisputed number one is the "Garlic Anchovy Pasta."
Combining slices of pork, plenty of garlic, cherry tomatoes, homemade anchovy sauce, basil, and egg yolk, this creative pasta has a wonderfully enticing aroma when it hits the table. The scent of olive oil, the saltiness of the anchovies, the spiciness of the garlic, and the creaminess of the egg yolk blend perfectly on the noodles. I usually order it "slightly spicy," and the overall flavor is rich and multi-dimensional—it's my first choice every time I visit.

The "Volcano Fillet Dice Pasta" delivers a spicy punch.
I ordered it "slightly spicy" (the lowest level of spice allowed is "slightly spicy"), but for me, it was almost extremely spicy, to the point that I had to blow my nose while eating XD. Although the beef chunks were a bit scarce, the fragrant and spicy stir-fried aroma was captivating, with colorful bell peppers, enoki mushrooms, and plenty of dried chili peppers. Personally, I found the flavor to be slightly more Chinese, but it's still a bold option worth trying, especially recommended for spice lovers.

However, not all flavors are stunning.
I personally cannot recommend their white sauce series—such as the "Black Truffle Cream Chicken Risotto" and "Cream Salmon Fillet Pasta," as the flavors were bland and lacked depth, even making me wonder if they came from the same kitchen. I feel that even my haphazard attempt at a white sauce risotto using leftover rice at home tastes better. I suggest new customers start with the anchovy pasta and chowder to truly experience the restaurant's prowess.
