Popular Casa Vostra pizzeria with long queues at Raffles City to open second outlet at Jem
Around a year ago, we bid farewell to the iconic McDonald's store at the first-floor corner unit of Raffles City Shopping Centre. In its place, Casa Vostra opened. The Italian eatery is the sister restaurant of La Bottega Enoteca – an award-winning pizzeria in Singapore by Chef Antonio Miscellaneo – and is meant to offer a more accessible, affordable and casual dining experience compared to the original. The reception? Polarising. Some loved that you could get Chef Antonio's signature pizzas at a fraction of the price (from $15 per pizza) and at a more convenient location, since La Bottega Enoteca is located in Joo Chiat. Others found the quality to be inconsistent. And many had things to say about the long queues due to the restaurant's no-reservations policy. Well, love it or hate it, you can't deny the restaurant's immense success, so much so that Chef Antonio has decided to open a second outlet in Singapore, this time in the heartlands. Casa Vostra's second branch is opening this September, 2025 at Jem in Jurong East. So if you're a Westie who's curious to find out if this popular pizzeria lives up to the hype, here's your chance. The new 80-seater restaurant will be larger than the Raffles City outlet, which only seats 60. It will also serve outlet-exclusive dishes like the Prosciutto e Fichi pizza ($27) and baked scamorza ($6). Of course, Chef Antonio's trademarked Newpolitan and Doublecrunch pizzas will still be headlining the menu, alongside dishes like Mamma's Aglio e Olio ($15), made with a recipe passed down by Chef Antonio's mother. Casa Vostra Jem will be located at 50 Jurong Gateway Rd, Jem, #01-03, Singapore 608549, and will be open for lunch and dinner daily.
