Amoy Street
From the nearby MRT underground railway station was a short pleasant walk along Amoy Alley which has a large mural.
Amoy Street
Amoy Alley to Amoy street full of intriguing restaurants. One restaurant has a Michelin star, probably pricey.
Despite all the other alternatives and distractions we were immediately impressed by the atmosphere of the relatively new, open about three months, Gotti restaurant.

Telok Ayer MRT with barrell like structures.
Table Lamps
The table lamps are touch sensitive with two standards of light or shade. It is fun, but if you reach for something and hit the light you and your plate are plunged into darkness!
Seating
The layout offers a choice of seating. Just incise the entrance door is a bar with illuminated alcoves.

The mural
The mural is modern style.
Toilets
Beyond it are the modern toilets with playing card themes.
Prosecco
We started with a glass of Prosecco. And warm bread with oil, Italian style. I asked for butter, and got it.
The first course was flavoursome and a surprise. Bread topped with teeny cubes of tomato, smaller than my smallest fingernail, like juliennes cut in both directions.

The surname Gotti could be derived from Gothic or army ruler. The restaurant is named after famous American mob boss John Gotti, made famous in a film of the same name.
