About NIDO BAR | PASTA

King William Road gets a high-energy dose of effortless Italian dining where house-crafted pasta and counter seats set the pace. Perch on a walk-in stool at the open kitchen bar to watch the line fire bowls of maccheroni verdi with slow-cooked lamb ragu, or hand over the decision-making entirely to the multi-course Cena tasting menu. Table regulars start with the airy, fried gnocco fritto dipped into honey-drizzled whipped ricotta—a plate that practically demands scarpetta before the wine-matched mains arrive. Diners usually anchor the finale with the kitchen's sponge-dense tiramisu, laced with cocoa and espresso.

  • Front-Row Kitchen Bar: Grab a walk-in stool right in front of the chefs to watch the kitchen team fire handmade pastas and chat through the pans.
  • Gnocco Fritto & Ricotta: Warm, airy puffs of fried gnocco fritto arrive paired with black-peppered, honey-drizzled whipped ricotta.
  • Cena Tasting Menu: A curated progression across antipasti, signature pastas like the spiced lamb ragu, and seasonal mains.

  • Signature Gnocco Fritto with Whipped Ricotta

    Golden gnocco fritto paired with whipped ricotta, black pepper, and honey provides an irresistible contrast of texture and sweet-savory balance.

    A flavour explosion to die for! The flavours combine so well together I’d go back just for these two dishes.
