Glitz has narrowed down the best of the best, so keep on reading!
But Wait, What Are Truffles And Why The Hype?
Those who regularly watch cooking shows or one of my personal favourites, Hell’s Kitchen, would be familiar with what truffle is. Essentially, it is an edible fungus that is used in French and many other high-end cuisines. There are also two popular types of truffles, the black, and the white. The reason they are so expensive is due to the fact that they are hard to find, extremely difficult to grow, and cannot be stored for a long time. However, there are many other variations of truffles that come at a more affordable price tag. There’s truffle paste and truffle oil, which are regularly used in many dishes.

2. Roberto’s 1020 Osteria – Biancaneve and Montanara
Located in one of the most strategic culinary locations, Roberto’s 1020 Osteria is the perfect place for catch-ups with your friends. Aside from an al-fresco dining area, Roberto’s also serves two delectable truffle pizzas – the Biancaneve and the Montanara. The only difference between the two is that Biancaneve is made from white truffle paste while the Montanara is made from the black one. We personally tried the Montanara and would give it a 10/10. The black truffle paste is generous, while pieces of brie, mushrooms and red raddichio perfectly balances out the familiar smoky flavour.
