Though I’ve only been a few times but I can say from the bottom of my heart that it’s the best restaurant in Singapore, with the hustle and bustle of everything, I could always count on la d’oro to have a table even on most usual busy days. Their food, especially the snow beef bolognese has always been my go to and has never disappointed in portion size, taste, and quality. I’m very saddened to hear that they would be closing down in a few days. But one thing that really amazed me was that even without anyone from my party letting them know of my birthday, they knew from my profile, and gave me a cake. And for that I honestly feel if anyone should survive SG’s horrible fnb industry scape, it should be la d’oro. All the best to the team, chefs and people behind la doro.

La D’oro offers a fascinating fusion of Japanese and Italian flavors, and once again, we had the best time here. This is my second submission While we can add additional photos, unfortunately we can’t write multiple reviews under 1 account on Google so here’s an overwrite. Stuffed Baby Squid: Tasty, but not something I’d order again. While it wasn’t bad by any means, I just didn’t connect with it as much as other dishes. That being said, it’s worth trying if you like squid. Hokkaido Uni Scrambled Eggs: Wow. I usually don’t like creamy scrambled eggs (perhaps odd, but I like my simple home-style rubbery scrambled eggs with soy sauce lol), so I was surprised that I found this absolutely divine. The flavours of the uni and ikura paired with the velvety scrambled eggs was just sublime. Served with thin brioche, it was briny, eggy, and so satisfying. We shared our starters—but it’s too good that next time I’m not sharing this! Hokkaido Uni Pasta: This is our repeat order! If there’s one thing to try at La D’oro, it’s this. The pasta has the perfect texture, and the unique sauce is absolutely delicious. It’s a repeat order for a reason—just phenomenal. Japanese Snow Crab Fedelini: I wanted to have the Aglio Olio but Gastin informed me that they’re out of one of the key ingredients (was it the garlic? I can’t remember) so they’ve changed it to a different variation of that ingredient. Hence, he recommended that I have the fedelini this time and the aglio olio next time. I appreciate the transparency and went with his recommendation. The dish presentation was fun, and I was amused by the crab shell! The pasta was served with a generous amount of sweet crab flesh and a flavorful crab bisque. It’s served tsukemen-style, where you dip the pasta into the bisque, which was a refreshing and interesting twist to pasta. The crab bisque was slightly tangy and sweet, and it went perfectly with the crab flesh and pasta. A4 Kagoshima Wagyu Tenderloin: I’m not usually into steaks, but I’m so glad I decided to try this. The beef was tender, with just the right balance of fat. It was served with pomme puree (or mashed potstoes I don’t know) and a delicious wasabi green apple sauce which elevated the flavour of the meat. The meat itself was a standout. We were informed that it’s flown in from Kagoshima and the chef personally knows the farmer, which makes it even more special. Dessert: We let Gastin choose for us, and he picked a pistachio cake with mousse. The nut flavor wasn’t overpowering, and the texture was perfect—dense yet soft, with a balanced sweetness. We loved it! We also couldn’t resist ordering a tiramisu after (this has become my favourite!). The bread service is always a nice touch here. Their balsamic and olive oil pairing is always fruity and delicious. We’ve previously had Paris Brest, Truffle Fries and A5 Beef Bolognese which were all good too. A special thanks to Gastin again who so warmly welcomed us back for another fantastic experience. He’s always warm and attentive without being overbearing. We had just met Celeste also took care of us and her friendly demeanor added to the evening. This time we also had the pleasure of being attended to by Kenさん who shared his knowledge of each dish with us and really helped us appreciate the special touches. (And just to add, sorry if it’s irrelevant to the food, but we really think Kenさん has great hair lol. Just had to mention it!) Overall, another memorable visit with incredible food and exceptional service. I was stuck in traffic due to the rain and the team was so accommodating and managed to push back my reservation, which I greatly appreciated. Big thanks to the team who were champs juggling each and every table without compromising on good service despite the challenge! And of course thank you to the team in the kitchen who prepared such delectable food for us, すごく美味しかった！ご馳走さまでした。 I look forward to my next visit and in the meantime, I wish everyone in the team a happy upcoming new year, may 2025 bring all things great to your team!

My husband and I popped in without any knowledge of the restaurant and left the place feeling superbly contented. It lives up to its promise of small bites, big flavors. The portions were just right and the well-seasoned food complemented one dish to another. While the restaurant carries a modest wine list on their happy hour selection, they were delectable. We would enthusiastically return and can be assured to be attended by their attentive and personable staff.

Great service and value. Esp the happy hour wine. The 8 course is very wholesome and good price for 188$. With wagyu and iberico level pork. The dessert tomato ravioli with olive oil gelato blew me off! Clean and crisp on the palate to end the course beautifully.

We came for lunch and left wishing we had space for more. Every dish at La D’Oro felt like a quiet celebration of Italian tradition — elevated with finesse. From the handmade pasta to the perfectly cooked proteins, nothing felt overdone. Just honest, delicious food in an elegant setting. Service was warm and attentive without being intrusive. A gem for anyone looking for a power lunch that doesn’t compromise on soul. We’ll be back — probably sooner than we should.

My first time eating at a fancier place. Food was amazing. Service was amazing too. Ambience was amazing. They catered to my financé birthday request too, giving a complimentary tiramisu. Highly recommend!

This is my nth time here and over the years the quality of the food has kept its high standard and service as always, has been impeccable. The chef and his team has done really well with their version of Japanese-Italian dishes well.

Really amazing experience from a hidden gem in orchard. HH was great on weekends, bettee on weekdays. The OMI BEEF was awesome, lacking of one side though at least. I would love to have more dishes there but too full from wine . Bolognese was great, chef was kind enough to change the uni pasta to this. It was really too horrid the uni . Desserts were awesome

2025.12.19 I only discovered this restaurant this week bec the 2 Korean restaurants upstairs are always so full. And have been here 2 times… and am sad to hear they are moving to Jakarta after Christmas. There goes another great restaurant. Really love their set lunches. Small servings but excellent ingredients, plating and service.

Service here is consistently excellent, with staff who are attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to ensure guests have a pleasant experience. They take the time to check in, offer thoughtful recommendations, and make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The food is simply perfect – beautifully presented, flavourful, and prepared with care, leaving a lasting impression with every bite. The environment adds to the experience, offering a comfortable and inviting setting that’s ideal for both casual outings and special occasions. Altogether, it’s a place where great service, delicious food, and a warm atmosphere come together seamlessly for a memorable visit.
