Plain utilitarian space, with a nice alfresco terrace that lets the food and a professional front of house team do the talking. Pasta and pizza are tip top and the suckling pig is a bit of a show-stopper. A good programme of events and special menus keep regulars happy. Founded in 2009, Rubato is understated but known as one of the key go-to Italian restaurants in the Bukit Timah neighbourhood. Strong kitchen technique and freshly prepared dishes are the hallmarks of a kitchen that plies its trade with confidence and consistency.
