I’ve been visiting Uccello for various lunches on weekdays – buzzing as the new corporate lunch destination in the city. It is very refreshing to find the place on a Sunday much more pleasant and relaxed, and without the company of clients, I can actually reveal my secret: my love for food porn. Other dishes from the Uccello menu can be found in my previous post here, where I learnt how to cook traditional Roman cuisine with Head Chef Massimo Bianchi.
Gnudi di ricotta e spinaci
Ricotta and spinach gnocchi with tomato sauce and fresh basil $28
Lasagne (Chef Massimo’s mother’s recipe)
They had debated for weeks whether to put this on the menu as it might be “too simple” of a dish. But alas, the simple things are always the best, and what better than his mama’s recipe. His exact words were “If they don’t like it, they can f*ck themselves”. And that’s why I love him!
Bucatini alla Matriciana
A traditional Roman hollow spaghetti with “guanciale”, spicy tomato sauce and pecorino cheese $28
My other highly recommended dish (I always order on the corporate card) is the Bistecchina – Seared fillet of beef medallions with wild rocket leaves, shaved Reggiano and lemon dressing.
And who can forget our favorite part of the meal? Dolce!
Chocolate fondant with banana ice cream and dried coconut.
Need I say more?
With the opening of the members only pool club, it makes people watching more entertaining than ever!

Here I come Ivy!
ooooooooo niccccccce hahah i did a Charity event once with Chef Massimo there cooking… i was leading my Culinary School team against another one in a mini Mystery Basket battle…..
he`s a joker … really cool chef…..
i’d buy the spaghetti.
Are you kidding me?? This restautant is the epitome of THE EMPORERS NEW CLOTHES!! Over hyped, over priced food that if it were not part of the HEMMES group would not even get a look in.
But then again the reason most people come here is to see and to be seen. So the food takes very much a back seat to the pool (oh spare me the boredom)and doesnt the chef and owners know it and milk it.
Warning to all – do not get the prawns as a main – $46.00 for 4 prawns in a tomato broth is the essence of why they are laughing all the way to the bank.
