After going to Water Parade, we returned to IFC to have lunch, and decided to try out Falcone, a Napolean pizza restaurant. The yellow signage of red characters certainly is eye-catching. They also have another outlet at The Peak.
Seated at the comfortable sofa in the dining area, the décor here is neat, with a fun and casual vibe, using some bright colours in the furniture. Even the staff uniform has a cute design reminding me of ice-cream parlour.
After a refreshing BioPlose Pink Grapefruit ($68), the staff served us Insalata Mista ($208). The salad had plenty of lettuce dressed in a anchovy vinaigrette with nice combination of savoury and acidity. Together with caper breadcrumbs and grated pecorino, it was simple but good in taste.
Next came Diavola Pizza ($268). A standard 12-inch size, the pizza had a crisp crust on the edge, a thin dough with tomato paste. The toppings included fior di latte, a fresh Italian cheese of mild taste, salame piccante, a spicy cured Italian salami, and some black olives. The pizza was delicious.
The Linguine al Granchio e Gamberi ($308) was honestly a bit too much after the pizza. The pasta was al dente in texture though, cooked with prawns, crab and tomato, plus a thick sauce with chilli and vino branco. The pasta was nicely seasoned and flavourful.
Service was good, though I was surprised and a bit upset when I saw another table served with mussels when I was told it was not available during my order. Since we were already midway through, I did not ask them to explain. The bill on the day was $1,024. Nice pizza.
