1. Bread Yard
Those working or studying near One-north can add Bread Yard to their list of lunch or dinner spots. There are six kinds of pasta on the menu, with everything priced at just $8++ each. Of course, you can pay a little more to add on ingredients, but the pasta is delicious on its own. We enjoyed the Miso Cream Pasta, made with miso butter and grana padano cheese, as well as the Mentaiko Pasta. For the latter, we recommend adding an Onsen Egg ($2++) and Smoked Salmon ($6++) for the best experience.

2. Tipo Pasta Bar
Pasta lovers may be familiar with Tipo Pasta Bar, a Muslim-owned restaurant that specialises in handmade pasta. Formerly located along North Bridge Road, they’ve since relocated to a larger space along Aliwal Street and Waterloo Street. Here, you can Build Your Own Pasta for a base price of $9.90++.
Some unique pasta options include Radiatori, which are short, squat pasta with ruffled edges; Creste De Gallo, characterised by its curved tubular shape; and Gemelli, which sees single S-shaped pasta strands twisted into a spiral. We recommend pairing the pasta with their fragrant pink sauce, a tomato cream pasta with aromatic floral undertones.

The fresh house-made pasta at Chicco Pasta Bar starts from $20++ for a plate of Rigatoni Carbonara—perfected with just egg, pepper, and guanciale, which is how carbonara should be made.
