Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Da Paolo Gastronomia at Bukit Timah offers a relaxed, almost European atmosphere, making it a popular spot for those seeking an escape from the city's hustle.

We see it as a reliable option for a casual Italian meal, particularly after a visit to the Botanic Gardens.

Reviewers consistently praise the ambiance, describing it as a 'hidden gem' with an 'exotic vibe.' The food, while noted as being 'a bit on the pricey side,' is generally well-received for its fresh ingredients and effort in preparation.

The eggplant parmigiana is highlighted for being 'real cheesey and tomato sauce rich,' and the 'balanced bowl' is a good option for a substantial, healthier meal.

However, some find certain items, like the lemon pound cake, to be underwhelming.

We'd recommend it for its consistent quality and pleasant setting, especially during weekdays when it maintains a 'quiet buzz' without significant wait times.

It's a solid choice for a relaxed lunch or coffee, rather than a destination for gourmet delicacies.

The panini was really good, I love the bread by itself. The mustard sauce adds a kick and elevates the flavor. Food was genuinely good, outdoor sitting is quite comfortable, and they have free wifi.

Excellent experience at Gastronomia Bukit Timah. The staff were very friendly, polite, and welcoming. The food was marvelous, and the chai latte was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

★★★★★Timothy Teo· 8 months ago

Regular hangout place of expats and pets. Mostly outdoor seating and not ideal for big group meat ups. Came here on a weekday and there was a quiet buzz amongst the patrons, chilling after their walk…

Accidentally found out this hidden gem while me and my husband went to botanic garden last weekend. I really enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant — it feels like being abroad, not like I’m in Singap…

★★★★★Sarah Soong· 7 months ago

Full service charge, even though we self order from the QR code. Lemon pond cake is under average, will not eat again. The americano Bristot brand is okay.
