Vespetta Italian Restaurant - 40 Boat Quay

A cute little place on Boat quay. Had super nice bruschetta and a grilled veggie platter served with burratta cheese. A single malt will cost you around 18$ Margerita was 17$ Chardonnay tomaresca costed 18$ by glass. (Although the margerita was served in a wine glass) It was a good place for a small apéro. A little crowded even on the weekdays so might have to wait to be seated.

Two course lunch: 1. Mushroom soup - creamy and tasty, but the croutons had the "fridge" taste 2. Sea bass fish fillet

Back for dinner the 3rd time to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday last weekend and I must say they are one of the best Italian restaurants around. Food standard is always consistent and excellent service too! My favorites are the seafood soup, panna cotta and ravioli. This time we had the gnocchi, pork belly, seafood pasta and apple tart, both of which were divine!

Good Italian at affordable prices (would recommend the restaurant to pair burrata with parma ham instead). Hidden gem of Singapore. When I passed by Boat Quay, always wondered why this well deserving place wasn't as packed as the others. Definitely a must try.

Amazing value for a four course meal with wine prong - great tasting meals - fantastic service and a genuine Italian theme. Beautiful spot by the river to top off a great meal

Very nice Italian restaurant on Boat quay with outdoor riverside & indoor seating. We loved all dishes from crisp, fresh salad, delicious bruschetta to mains - piping hot pizza & creamy pasta. Cocktails were average, could be better. Definitely recommended place to go on Boat quay!

Came on a rainy Friday evening to celebrate my anniversary. Reserved a table indoors but was given a high table which was rather uncomfortable. Service was alright, was a little difficult to catch the service crew’s attention ‘cos we were seated behind the fridge. It was quite stuffy despite being indoors too, perhaps outdoors would have been a better option (plus the view +++). Ordered the Vespetta Set Dinner with wine pairing ($88), Carpaccio di Tonno ($28) and Gnocchi di Patate con Salsiccia e Zafferano ($30). The Set Dinner was really value for money. The Burrata with Parma Ham was really good and exactly how you would imagine it to taste. Adriatic Seafood Spaghetti was alright, the seafood was fresh but it was on a lighter note and not as flavourful as I expected. The Grilled Angus Beef Rib Eye with Rosemary Roasted Potatoes and Rocket was the best! Absolutely love the beef and the taste of the potato was great but would be even better if it’s more crusted. Tiramisu was alright. The Carpaccio di Tonno (Yellow Fin Tuna Carpaccio, with Rocket and Fennel Salad, Amalfi Lemon Dressing) was not my kind of food and was on the drier end, personally feel you can skip this dish. Was craving for gnocchi but it didn’t satisfy my cravings either ? Will be back to try their Risotto and Ravioli since they’re both highly raved!

Came here for a simple birthday lunch with colleagues and really did not know what to expect. Sometimes when you don’t have any expectations is when you get the best pleasant surprise. All of us throughly enjoyed our orders and (being Chinese) we were most impressed with the pork belly. Most of us took the 2-3 course lunch and the portions did not disappoint. My colleague raved about the Tiramisu saying it was nice, light, creamy and with just the right amount of coffee. Considering its near my office - i will definitely go back there again soon. I would like to specially compliment the service staff, there was only 1 of her. At the time of my meal there were 8 tables dining. Not once did i had to call for service, it was really amazing how observant she was making sure we had time to finish one meal so she can clear the table and serve the next course. FANTASTIC JOB DONE!!
