L / LifeDelicious pasta that’s worth your every penne (pun fully intended)by Navin Pillay / July 25, 2022 Show
 Credit: California Republic For many, spaghetti or pasta is the ultimate comfort food. Hearty, versatile and
flavoursome, it’s a mealtime favourite for families and couples alike. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best restaurants serving delicious pasta dishes in Singapore. From the usual carbonara and bolognese, to squid ink pasta and chilli crab pasta, there’s something for everyone.
From rustic to contemporary flavours, here’s where to get your Italian fix. Italian restaurants are in no short supply in Singapore. Craving wood-fired pizzas and handmade pasta? We’ve covered good ground on that here. But there’s also more to the Italian dining scene than you might give Singapore credit for, including a
Sicilian-centric restaurant, a buzzy gastro bar, contemporary Michelin-starred restaurants and even a neighbourhood joint that’s turning out lesser-known street snacks from the boot-shaped land. Now, we're gonna make you an offer you can't refuse – with a list of the best Italian joints in town. RECOMMENDED: The best French,
Spanish and Japanese restaurants in Singapore for more food recommendations. The Cal-Italian dining concept of famed American celebrity Chef Nancy Silverton is back. The cosy Tuscan living room now has a stunning mozzarella bar, two wood-burning ovens and an alfresco herb garden. Swing in during lunch and feast on 10 signature pizzas, our favourites are Silverton’s
all-time favourite, the Burrata ($40), the simply satisfying Bianca ($34), and the Singapore-exclusive BLT ($38). Come nightfall, dishes are nodes to classics that first rocketed Osteria Mozza into the dining sphere. Remember the Orecchiette ($32) that stole the show – and our hearts? Its glistening little ears of al-dente pasta, sausage and Swiss chard take you straight to flavour town. Housed in one of Sentosa’s finest beachside resorts, Fiamma is Chef Mauro Colagreco – the owner of three Michelin-starred French restaurant, Mirazur – newest Italian restaurant. The menu is inspired by his grandparents where rustic flavours pay homage to his grandma’s cooking
using only fresh produce. Our highlight was the Carpaccio di Pomodoro e Pesca ($26): finely sliced tomato and peach slivers paired with pistachio bits and chives. Standouts also include a blue lobster tagliatelle ($56) and the Tartufo pizza ($36) with heaps of black truffle shavings. The obvious pièce de résistance: the Sicilian grandma pizza. Its rustic pies take inspiration from a sfincione, a spongy-crusted Sicilian pizza that’s traditionally eaten for Christmas Eve. As far as we know, it is the only restaurant in Singapore where you can order up Sicilian grandma pizza. Our favourite? The Mortadella & Burrata Sicilian Grandma Pizza ($27) with its airy and
light, but still somewhat dense crispy edges. Got room for more? There are regular Neapolitan pizzas and comforting pasta – by the same folks behind Pasta Bar – that would satiate even the hungriest. What used to be a Mediterranean restaurant by Alain Ducasse has since transformed into a modern osteria. But it remains backed by the master chef, who has appointed Chef de Cuisine Natalino Ambra – formerly from Scena Italian Restaurant at Ritz-Carlton Shanghai) to helm the lively concept. Despite that, the food remains surprisingly affordable; lunch sets are available in options of two ($39) and three
courses ($46), and stand-out dishes feature beautifully charred octopus ($38); new zucchini tagliolini ($52); and an irresistible limoncello-soaked baba ($18). Put aside all thoughts of cosy,
family-owned trattorias. The Jigger and Pony venture is perfect for drinks and Italian grub, complete with fantastic views of Marina Bay. Caffe Fernet dedicates a good part of the menu to aperitivo-friendly numbers – think spritzers, bellinis, and frosés and another pageful to negroni variations. All of which help prime the tummy for a seafood-focused line-up of mafaldine cacio e pepe ($27), a classic moreish take on pasta with cheese and pepper;
de-boned red snapper ($46); a delightfully smoky octopus with velvety hummus ($34); and more. Set within the lush landscaped gardens of the legendary Shangri-La Singapore lies this charming Italian restaurant. Uncover an authentic representation
of Southern Italian fare that's bound to whisk diners away on a sojourn to the richly cultured picturesque seaside town and tantalise tastebuds. Impress your guests with the Polpo alla Plancia, boasting a whole Mediterranean octopus leg (at least 300 grams), it is first steamed till fork tender and grilled over high heat for a caramelised char. Now the offer you can’t refuse – cap off the Italian affair with the Cannolo, you will thank us
later. Buona TerraThe charm of one-Michelin-starred Buona Terra begins with its ultra private location. The cosy 22-seater restaurant comes housed within a monochromatic colonial bungalow and has since seen a recent facelift. Its intimate setting makes for a dining experience steeped in serendipity and tranquillity. The kitchen, headed by chef Denis Lucchi, takes the best the season has to offer to create contemporary Italian plates. Dinner of five courses (from $178) is the best way to sample what Buona Terra has to offer. PublicoThere are no shortage of alfresco eateries along the length of Robertson Quay, but Publico Ristorante stands out with its charming interior and hearty creations. Its interior offers an Italian escape, and the food is dedicated to the greatest hits of the cuisine. Most tables will spot orders of calamari and cauliflower fritti ($22), housemate pasta (from $25), and wood-fired pizza of Margherita ($25), prosciutto ($32), and more. BraciRestaurateur Beppe de Vito has many restaurants in the Il Lido portfolio but one-Michelin starred Braci is said to be his most progressive and creative playground. The compositions are very contemporary, but there’s also a distinct undercurrent of quintessentially Italian flavours. Appointed Chef De Cuisine Matteo Ponti dreams up a progressive menu that pays tribute to his classic Italian roots peppered with personal stories from the young chef. Da Paolo Dempsey Restaurant and BarDa Paolo's latest outlet, located in the scenic enclave of Dempsey Hill, gathers the best of its concept under one roof – or more specifically, under an overhanging preserved olive tree. The menu changes depending on your time of visit: breakfast is served till 11.30am, where you can have a spicy shakshouka ($29) for brunch. Fresh handmade pasta is also a Scarpa family tradition. Go with the alluring Ravioli di Magro ($27) with sage-infused brown butter, the Gnocchi al Gorgonzola ($29) or the mouth-watering slipper lobster risotto ($37). But save some save for the Naples-style eight Cheese ($37) pizza, where a chef’s selection of cheeses covers a homemade dough that’s fermented for over 72 hours to yield a soft, chewy bite. AmoExposed brick walls, vintage mosaic tiles, scissor gates – the industrial aesthetics of Amò may be popular with the trendy crowd, but rest assured that the food has timeless appeal. Pastas and pizzas are the main draw at this buzzy restaurant. Pies are slow-fermented and baked in wood-fired ovens to achieve a satisfying chew and properly blistered edges. Try the pie with pancetta, spicy broccolini, pumpkin and smoked mozzarella ($30) if you're looking for bold flavours. Garibaldi Italian Restaurant and BarA well-respected modern Italian restaurant that sits firmly along Purvis Street. The fashionable and sophisticated atmosphere as well as the stylish bar make this a popular venue to gather and be seen. With experienced Executive Chef–Owner Roberto Galetti from Brescia, Italy, calling the shots, it’s no wonder the award-winning restaurant has never failed to attract the crowds – even a Michelin star in 2017. His tantalising menu consists of authentic Italian dishes created from fresh, quality ingredients imported directly from Italy, and it includes specialties like the stone bass in white wine clam broth ($68), crispy breaded veal chop ($78) and linguine with crab meat and vodka sauce ($48). Bar CichetiHandmade pastas are done fresh at Bar Cicheti's open kitchen. On its menu are creations like the bucatini ($28) a thick and hollow noodle soaks up the fragrant sauce tossed with pepper and cheese. Another winner is the squid ink pasta with seafood ($35), best paired with some small plates to share. The wine list is worthy of a shout with mainly Italian labels curated to pair well with your starchy counterparts. Dolce VitaFresh ingredients and authentic Italian cuisine all alongside stunning poolside views – can we ask for anything more? Kick off your meal with the restaurant's signature Treccia Campana di Bufala ($36), a 10kg buffalo mozzarella cheese from southern Italy that is plated and served tableside with anchovies. Still hungry? Order the beetroot-infused gnocchi in Gorgonzola cheese sauce ($32) to share. The classic Osso Buco ($52) – slow-braised veal shank – is served with creamy polenta and a soul-comforting red wine reduction that is guaranteed to leave you feeling stuffed. Etna Italian RestaurantThis Duxton Road Stalwart has been doling out Italian dishes to Singaporeans since 2006. Named after Mount Etna, an active volcano on the east coast of Sicily, the restaurant showcases the rich agricultural produce of the region. Dig into its linguine al granchio ($28), cooked in a flower crab sauce, grilled yellowfin tuna loin ($36), and other seafood-heavy dishes that showcase what the Italian south has to offer. Io Italian OsteriaIo has a great many things going for it but perhaps best of all is its array of Italian street stacks. In fact, we’d rather you forego the mains and do it tapas-style, ordering as many appetisers and snacks as you can manage. Among our favourites: stuffed schiacciata (from $7), a comforting sandwich with ciabatta-like crustiness that's slathered with truffle-flecked mascarpone; Rice suppli' ($9), a Roman take on Sicily’s arancini; and moreish globes of olives crammed with minced meat then breaded and fried for a salty-tart-umami flavour bomb ($9). ZafferanoThe Italian restaurant takes the cuisine to new heights (literally), with impressive plates cooked up by chef Andrea De Paola, a young cook that has worked in big-name kitchens, including the one-Michelin-starred Braci. He taps into inspiration from his hometown in Naples to present hearty Italian plates made with a creative spark, including Scampi ($38), par-grilled shellfish alongside white miso sauce made with blended white sesame and 25-year-old mirin; spaghetti with razor clams (from $34); and more. GattopardoAt Gattopardo, flavours of Scilly are celebrated. Only sustainable ingredients, particularly the seafood, are used – which is why the restaurant has down away with its a al carte offerings to provide a degustation option (from $148 for five courses). The menu switches up every fortnight. But if it's too much to commit, there's a set lunch that is priced at $58. BasilicoFor a grand Italian feast, there's no better destination to be bound for than Basilico. Cheese lovers should check out the Formaggissimo Nights ($68), where a cheese platter comes served with wine pairings; or partake in the Basilissimo Dinner ($98) which presents contemporary Italian flavours on the plate. LukaThis tiny restaurant is perpetually packed. Some of that popularity can be attributed to its very reasonable prices – hearty pastas from $25, pizzas from $25. The wood-fired pizzas – crusty, chewy, yielding – largely stick to the conventional Italian playbook. For a taste of Japanese influences, look towards the pasta and cichetti (snacks) sections. Among the intriguing options: tuna tartare ($24) reinterpreted with negitoro and ikura; whipped bottarga cream and pretzel ($12); and creamy mentaiko and ikura spaghetti ($25).
