Ordered the truffle cheesewheel. It was delicious, 5 stars. In fact we ordered another serving. However the steak was a letdown. Ordered medium but it was well done at most of the meat. Beef was also tough, truly a letdown. 1 star. Margarita pizza, I will give it a 4 star.

M. H.

Had a great time and love their cheese wheel pasta and prawn aglio olio! Recommend!

Decided to eat here for dinner cause of the raving reviews as seen on Google & other social media platforms. Definitely didn’t live up to the hype. Tried the Truffle Cheese wheel Pasta , Beef Lasagne & Carnivora Pizza. Truffle Cheese wheel Pasta was decent , with the right amount of truffles and mushroom. But for a ‘signature’ pasta , it was quite basic. Beef Lasagne was a let down , felt that there could be more beef and tomato sauce.At some points , I just ate lasagne sheets with no beef in between the layers. Also , tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. The Carnivora Pizza was okay. Slightly too salty to my liking and crust could have been more flavoured as it tasted pretty bland. Overall , food prices was quite steep as it’s pretty comparable to restaurant prices, but understandable due to the location. Service was commendable as the staff was friendly and food was prepared efficiently. I would recommend to give it a try , but it was not mind-blowing imo 👍🏽

Unexpected for a food stall but very good Steak. One of the Best I got in Singapore. Really recommend it from my heart. Try also the Basil Pasta

We went around 730pm to avoid the crowd, indeed it’s quite crowded but not really a long queue for Saporita. The steak is awesome!! In my opinion, it’s better than the one at wine connection🙈The truffle wheel cheese pasta 🧀 is quite good, not too watery nor creamy, with the right amount of cheese👌🏼 The price is super reasonable too! Without GST!

M. B.

Delicious authentic italian dishes, enjoyed the food thoroughly! Ideally located next to The Esplanade, within Glutton’s bay by Makansutra food court, a unique collection of local and asian food stalls.

L. (.

Such a hidden gem in Esplanade area! Their Italian dishes are yummy and so affordable 😋 If youre getting the truffle cheesewheel pasta, I’d recommend getting some meat toppings as well to balance out the creaminess 😊 Overall, value for money 👍🏼

H. &. B. G.

Amazing food and very fast and friendly service!! Highly recommend! 5 Star!

D. K.

Pleasantly surprised by the food here! The truffle cheese wheel pasta hit the right spot (in terms of taste and price), the steak tagliata was cooked just right, and the pizza margherita with pepperoni beef was delish too! Worth the trip for a delightful dining out experience - great value for flavours of Italy 🇮🇹...

F.

The food is good, the service is greater. Definitely will come back again.

Top-quality pasta at wallet-friendly prices! If you’re looking for a quality pasta spot without the frills of dining in a restaurant, Saporita is a great option. We ordered the Truffle Cheesewheel Pasta and Lasagna, which came up to $30. The Truffle Cheesewheel Pasta, priced at $14, came in a rich, creamy sauce with powerful hits of savoury cheese. You’ll even feel bits of cheese flakes in every bite. I opted for the addition of beef meatballs, priced at 4 for $4. The truffle flavour and fragrance was completely missing though, hence the missing fifth star. After the delicious Cheesewheel pasta, the lasagna tasted flat and just plain boring. Priced at $12. I’ll definitely come back to try the other options like the Steak Tagliata, a highly recommended dish with plenty of people ordering it during my visit.

M. R.

All this for $66 & i would say, its worth a go! Will definitely comeback for the truffle cheesewheel pasta! Added turkey bacon & it was absolutely perfect. Everything is great but the truffle fries was a little on the crispier side for my liking. Food is very affordable for 3 pax at $20+/- each with restaurant standard especially in the CBD area 👍🏽

V. M.

Love the truffle cheesewheel. Great umami and layers of flavours on the palate. Generous portion of cheese too. Love how you can also watch how they make it. The best thing about food is the warmth from the place where it comes from. You really feel the warmth and love in their food. Amicable staff and good food - such homely European vibes! You need to try their food!

m. s.

Delicious to the last bite. My wife recommended this place as she had seen great reviews online. No frills and seriously good Italian food. We had the cheese wheel pasta and the pizza and they were phenomenal. Plus it is Muslim owned so you can grab your Muslim friends and enjoy a slice of life overlooking Marina Bay. If you can't go to Italy (cause of covid), this is the next best place to eat!

K. L.

Pasta is not bad. Price is quite affordable considering the location (just beside the Esplanade). Overall, a good place to eat at if visiting the esplanade or nearby mall. Location is in hawker setting so it is open space.

A. M.

Hawker Stall type place that sells Italian food at a very good rate. This place came up while searching for a halal Italian food place. Tried the Parmesan Wheel pasta which was really good. Plenty of other pasta and pizza options including a turkey bacon carbonara. There were several other stalls in the place and it was fairly crowded. Hard to get a table.

s. s.

Good taste, must to try , creamy and delicious

R. P.

Had dinner with my hubby and brother here. We had their best selling pasta, salmon and rib-eye steak in medium. I would say that the rib eye steak is the best! Superb and worth buying. You want to enjoy a steak in an affordable price then you should head down to Saporita 😋 I gave 4 stars because their pasta is so-so for me.

P.

Not bad! Truffle was strong, and cheese was good. Became a bit “gelat” after awhile, but that’s just how the cream base sauces work. Was $15, and topped up $3 for extra pasta.

C. P. Z.

Restaurant quality, affordable halal Italian food at a hawker centre (@Gluttons Bay Makansutra). Paid 14 bucks for this authentic pasta made with imported cheese and you can see the huge cheese wheel they were using. Will come back again for sure. 😋

E. S.

Starting not so friendly. But later on found out he is a Friendly owner with good food. If you don't mind no aircon and don't mind hawker food, please come. Really good. It's open at 5pm. And.... It's also 100% Muslim owned.

H. Y. P.

One of the best I've had. It had a nice char on the base. The sauce was perfect and cheese pull was there. Not too salty like many make it.

M. M.

Had dinner with my hubby Steak taliata was a bit stiff the price the serving is like starter not worth and pizza mageritha was ok nothing special only location is good not the food

H. O.

The dishes are all yummy, just that I hope the portion can be more with the marked up tourist price that locals had to pay.

S. J.

Short waiting time, there are friendly kids pasta if you request not for spicy. 👍🏼👍🏼

M.

Amazing halal Italian food. The truffle cheesewheel (also the one with meatball) is amazing!

M. Y. C.

Excellent service, friendly staff, delicious beef meatball pizza! Price is reasonable too. Will come back to try their cheese wheel truffle pasta!

M. T.

Glad to have tried the pasta here. And the truffle fries too! This stall is a hidden gem in Esplanade. Will be back again (: Also the stall next door, serves really good kway teow.

B. K.

Had truffle cheese wheel pasta and squid ink prawn pizza. Pasta was good ! Although can’t taste the Truffle.

S. S.

Awesome. Feel like I am in Naples or Rome. Pasta is authentic. Any more authentic, you have to have an italian home dinner Thumbs up to Hussein!

S. Y.

Their pasta are tasty and affordable. Great place to chill out at the end of the year when it’s windy.

F. C.

Kind and warm staff, delicious food (their pizza crust is another level), excellent value for money.

N. A.

Decent halal budget italian food! Been here a few times already 😬👍(please ignore the chendol i bought it from different stall!)

G. S.

Tried truffle cheesewheel pasta and arancini, the food was delicious and affordable. The staff was friendly, will come back to try other food.

D. B.

Delish! We found this Italian place at a Hawker Center and everything was so good. From the pasta, to the truffle fries, to the steak…yum, yum, yum! We will be back.

G. C.

Hawker area beside a tourist spot. Everywhere in this place is just a walking distance to Merlion, Mall, bus stops and rail transit.

R.

Sadly. The food wasn't so great. Yes it was nice but there's nothing worthy of the cost of the food. Fries was sad to say. Over cooked. Like eating chips in the form of French fries. Pizza was not so bad but mine was actually not cooked in the middle. Dough was actually still undercooked. The only redeeming dish that I had was their signature pasta. That I'd say was worthy. Other than that. I wouldn't recommend spending money here. Edit. After coming here a year later. Their service was worse. Food was undercooked and the fries still overcooked. Definitely will never come here again. Please don't waste your money.

S. B.

anticipated for Truffle cheesewheel pasta as reviews suggest, taste is alright. definitely overrated, disappointed with all the reviews.

J. J.

The staff who ordered for us was very friendly! Gave recommendations cause it was our first time there. Will surely come back to try other stuff. The truffle cheese-wheel pasta is bomb if you love truffle. Pepperoni pizza was crispy and nice!

F. A.

Excellent! Friendly staff

S. G.

Overall experience is good. Not really a fan of truffle. Among the three dishes prawn pizza is the best.

H. B.

Absolutely scrumptious food loved the variety! Went with family, very friendly service! Highly recommended!

A. A. S. B.

Good wholesome food. Pasta and cheese is worth the price. Walk around the bay, then come here to rest your soles and souls. Just delightful.

S. L.

All the food was very good and very affordable. Owner is nice and bothers to check if the food was ok. We had the beef, truffle pasta, truffle pizza and arancini. Arancini is very crispy and not oily, even after its cold. Pizza and pasta has strong truffle taste and nice textures. Steak was juicy and well-seasoned. Can choose your choice of doneness. Definitely must try.

a. t.

Great place to try out the cheese-wheel pasta for the first time at an affordable price! the truffle fries is THE BEST🤩excellent customer service, definitely will be back for more. kudos to the man in the cap, 10/10 like the food.

J. S.

Great food and customer service! Had the cheese wheel pasta and it’s sooooooo good!!!! And very affordable for its pricing as well. However, would be nice to have a bit more mushrooms! Reasonable portion as I could finish everything. Would definitely come back again to try the other pastas 😋

The queue was long but the food and servings are worth the wait. Had the Margherita Pizza with Turkey Bacon and Steak Tagliata. It's highly recommended. Didn't manage to taste the pasta due to the high orders they need to closed it down which is understandable. Will come again to try the Truffle Pasta. They are very nice and helpful as well.👍👍

A. I.

Truffle cheesewheel pasta is super good! Word of advice though, be sure to eat it immediately once it’s served as it tastes best when still warm. Will definitely return for the pasta and to try out their pizza.

K. A. Y.

Presentation : 2* Price : 2* Taste : 3* Price is too steep for a plate of truffle cheese pasta, presentation wise was disappointing. Taste was what saved the day, flavor wise was one dimensional after a few bites. Would recommend a revision to menu prices and to remove the additional charges to extra ingredients to pasta.

The food is just average. I have bought the bbq chicken wing, the overall look at the chicken wing is not nice and it seems like the person don't really know how to bbq cause it was very plain and look like uncooked. When you eat, you can only taste ginger which mean that they marinated the chicken wing with a lot of ginger to cover the frozen chicken wing smell. I have bought Penang char kuay tiao from the Uncle where the stall is near the bak kut teh stall. The Penang char kuay tiao taste is good and the portion for big plate is worth the money.

H. N.

The food is fantastic. I ate the Steak Tagliata. It is superb and it has different taste from other steak. You must try. The truffle fries also good. Truffle cheesewheel pasta must not be missed. Its cheesy and yummy. The margherita pizza is gooood. Hotel/restaurant standard but hawker price. You must come down to Gluttons Bay Makan Sutra to savor it. Hurry.

L. H.

Came across Saporita during a pre-show dinner and we sampled a classic 12" Margherita. It was delicious with a chewy crust. I liked that they were generous with the fresh basil. Great value. Will be back to taste the other dishes in future -- looking at you, cheese wheel pasta!

T. A.

Love Saporita! Reasonable pricing and authentic Italian cuisine! So delicious and sinful.

T. l.

Have you seen pasta cook in a cheesewheel? This is my first time. Worth trying. Truffle cheesewheel pasta

h. h.

Amazing steak!

R. T.

Pizzas and pastas with affordable prices and love the ambience here too!

N. H.

Food was superb! My 4 and 3 year old boys love the truffle cheesewheel pasta. Owner was super friendly too! =) Come over to try it yourself.

N. C.

The truffle cheese wheel pasta was so good - you can taste the truffle and the cheese isn’t that overwhelming. For the price, it’s worth it. The place where it’s at (makansutra) contributes to the positive vibes of the food.

Z. F.

The food is definitely exquisite! very yummy with so competitive price like what i ordered: a Margherita Pizza for only S$8. the service staffs are all very friendly tooooo! I'll definitely come again to MakanSutra just for this stall: Saporita, flavours of Italy

T. T.

Tried the truffle cheesewheel pasta but sadly not cooked on the cheesewheel (at least not at the front of the store). Added beef slices as a add on but alittle fatty. However the truffle taste was strong and i would come back for it without any add ons.

M. Z.

Excellent food and really yummy! The price is very reasonable! The outdoor setting with the limited stalls and ample seats makes it a must do activity in the heart of Singapore’s theatre area!

M. Z. M. Z.

The serving was good portion, but the pasta slightly bland. Overall the atmosphere was awesome. Will definitely bring my friends here to try.

R. R.

Serve delicious Italian cuisine at affordable price. Had to stop after Steak Tagliata, Pizza marherita and Truffle cheesewheel pasta. Recommended and double thumbs!

S.

Great food. From pizza to pasta prepared on the cheese wheel! 12" Pizza perfect for 2 for lovely couples. Price for pizza is reasonable and taste yummy.

H. A.

This was by far the best Italian Food I have had in the longest time. Worth every penny. The cheesewheel pasta deserves special mention and a must try.

B. N.

the only bad part about it is how it goes so quickly

P. D.

We served with delicious Pizza. Their Truffle Cheesewheel Pasta prepared very well I never tested such delicious pasta in Singapore.

A. A.

Quality food with reasonable pricing. Short waiting time with friendly staff(: The truffle cheese wheel pasta is delishhh!

J. L.

Recommend the sausage mushroom truffle pizza! Lurve the dough… Carbonara pasta come with an egg yolk on top!

H.

The truffle cheese wheel pasta is absolutely a different kind of pasta for the palates and should try for when Coming over

S. k.

This place is called Gluttons by the Bay, not Saporita. The only open air hawker centre in the Marina Bay. Always packed and the street foods are simply to die for.

A. E.

Good food good place.

i. h.

Delicious food, generous portion for the price paid. Recommend to come not on Saturday night cause long queue.

h. s.

The trufflecheese pasta was so so soo good!!! Would definitely come again!

K. R.

The truffle cheese-wheel pasta is a must try . 🤩

박.

I had a delicious meal on the riverside, enjoying the evening breeze. There was no air conditioning, but it was okay. Above all, cream tagliatlet is really delicious. What mushroom flavor!! I added shrimp and banto to the margherita. My daughter said she was very happy because she could eat it the way she wanted. You can choose the doneness of the steak and there is no smell. For those staying at Mandarin, it's a short walk from here. Highly recommended!! It's great if you come after swimming!

N. W.

Everyone can find something to eat here and it is not as crowded as in Lau Pa Sat.

H. F.

Feels like a food court in the market?? As the prices in Singapore are high, it doesn't feel that cheap... just a noisy yet leisurely dinner. .. The seasoning of the black pepper crab was spicy and very delicious..

A. A.

A little crowded so you have to be lucky to get a seat but otherwise great location

I. C.

R. K.

Very good hawker. Can only be recommended.
