Good and legit Italian food can be pretty pricey but it’s totally worth it. Just thought of sharing with y’all a hidden gem in Bukit Timah that serves good and hearty Puglian cuisine. Caruso Italian Ristorante doesn’t have an active Instagram page but it’s popular with the expat community. Please keep on reading my review as the pictures don’t tell a thousand words here.

Caruso is probably one of the best fried calamari rings I had in Singapore. The batter which is made with semolina flour is super light and crispy yet not incredibly greasy. And the squid rings are so tender and chewy which means that it’s fresh! It’s good dipping it in both the marinara and tartare sauce. If you want to rid the fishy smell, add some lemon.
