Octavium Italian Restaurant: Modern meets rustic in a minimalist setting

Chef Umberto Bombana of 8 ½ Otto e Mezzo opened Octavium Italian Restaurant two years ago, serving seasonal Italian food executed with modern techniques. The spacious 32-seat restaurant is minimalist, with white-clothed tables and city views.

On offer are lunch pasta sets of two or three courses, as well as à la carte for leisurely meals. For dinner choose from four or five courses, or the seven-course Octavium Experience tasting menu with wine pairing.

Although dishes are modern, rustic touches are seen in the freshly baked crusty bread and handmade pasta dishes such as pumpkin ravioli and truffle tagliolini. Reservations are required.
