Italian Food at Capita Spring 8th July 2023- Mediocre food

Grilled Octopus - their best tapas  

On the 17th Floor of CapitaSpring Tower at D'Almeida Street (closest MRT is Raffles Place) is the Fusion European restaurant called Sol and Luna (although the name is Spanish sounding the food I would call it at best Fusion). 3 of our family went there to dine last Saturday 8th July, The place is located on the 17th Floor and while the access to this ESG compliant building - there are a lot of floors with high ceiling and a lot of open spaces for greenery and thus reducing the heat take up and giving the building an airy and laid back space feel.  

La Bomba - Chicken Cutlet ; rather airy 

The service while professional, was exceedingly slow. The restaurant was full inside only leaving some tables empty on the outside. It took a whole 30 minutes for the 3 tapas (appetizer dishes) to arrive. The first 3 dishes were only average tasting. The grilled octopus was savory, but the other 2, the sardine wrapped with Iberico Ham and the La Bomba were disappointing.

The sardine tasted fishy and the texture was rather stringy, not very fresh. The potato cutlet was alright but again, it tasted like the food was reheated in the oven.

The chicken cutlet tasted rather bland, and again the feeling was that it was reheated and there seemed to be no distinct European flavour to it. This could have been cooked by any Club Western Restaurant. Poor.  

Truffle Risotto

Another disappointing dish, the rice appeared like porridge and the truffle aroma while strong did not seem appealing in a savoury way. If anything, this is just passable. Mediocre

Sardine Wrapped in Ham with Mustard 

Again, another dish which failed to live up to its nice name. This dish had a fishy taste and gave the impression that it was previously frozen and thawed before grilling. Poor. 

All in all, while the food was rather bland, the service was acceptable. Prices were on the average side, perhaps that is why the restaurant is appealing to the younger crowd with smaller budgets.

Overall rating : 2.5 out of 5. 

Go again factor : Low.
