Nestled along the charming Jiak Chuan Road in a heritage shophouse, is a cosy 80-seater restaurant helmed by globally recognized Giancarlo Mancino and Singapore-based Master Pizzaiolo Antonio Brancato.
The restaurant, which has just been ranked 13th on the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific 2025 list (the highest position for a Singapore-based pizzeria), is known for its concise menu which features three main pizza styles.
The In Teglia (Baking Tin), commonly found in Southern Italy, is baked in a small pan at over 250°C for 10 to 12 minutes, resulting in a gently puffed pizza with a crisp top and bottom and a fluffy middle. The Classic Pizza which uses the same dough but is cooked in ultra-high 480°C heat for just 90 seconds. This Napoletana pizza is best enjoyed folded and eaten by hand to fully experience its texture and flavours. Finally, Le Antonio is a section of the menu dedicated to creativity, giving Chef Antonio the space to craft new and innovative creations.
Scarpetta
47 Amoy Street
Image credit: Scarpetta | Supplied
, a cosy new pasta bar in the heart of Telok Ayer, has officially opened its doors and it could be our favourite restaurant yet. Inspired by the beloved Italian tradition of La Scarpetta, the act of mopping up every last drop of sauce with bread, Scarpetta embraces this tradition by leaving nothing behind.
Helming this intimate space is Head Chef Danny Ng who champions high quality ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship all while putting artisanal pasta centre stage. Start your meal with classic Italian appetisers like Cozze alla Marinara with succulent blue mussels steeped in a rich, spicy tomato broth that’s both hearty and full of depth or the creamy Burrata with cherry tomatoes, elevated with fragrant pesto and a drizzle of aromatic basil oil. Although our personal favourite is the Radicchio Salad with truffle vinaigrette, hazelnut and parmigiano.
At the heart of Scarpetta’s menu is its carefully curated pasta selection. Highlights include the Cacio e Pepe with crispy guanciale and the rich Bolognese Ravioli filled with tender beef cheek, bone marrow, sun-dried tomato, and aged Parmigiano. True to its namesake, every pasta dish at Scarpetta is served with warm, freshly baked Schiacciata bread for you to savour every last drop of sauce.
For a sweet ending, do yourself a favour and order the Gelato con Olio (milk gelato, Umbrian extra virgin olive oil and crunchy salt flakes). Sounds simple enough but it's literally life changing. One of the best desserts we've had the pleasure of tasting.
The cosy pasta bar is walk-in only (and there's often a queue of eager customers waiting outside), seating 30 total, with 16 at the Chef’s Table for an intimate front-row experience where you can witness the creation of Scarpetta’s signature dishes and engage directly with the chef.
Casa Cicheti
78 Guan Chuan Street, #01-41
Image credit: Casa Cicheti | Supplied
Homegrown hospitality group, The Cicheti Group, has officially opened its fifth concept: in the vibrant neighbourhood of Tiong Bahru.
The food menu builds on Cicheti’s signature brand of “hearty, never fussy” Italian cooking—an approach responsible for many of the flagship’s signature staples that have remained on the menu for years. Time-honoured techniques and bold, comforting flavours anchor the menu, while new creations keep things fresh.
Highlights include the range of Nea-Romana pizzas which combine the crisp, robust crust of Roman pizzas with the flavourful depth of Neapolitan dough. Made with a unique blend of 00 flour, semolina, and rye, and slow-fermented for over 60 hours, this hybrid crust offers a satisfying crunch and earthy undertones. Toppings range from timeless to inventive, but our favourites are the Margherita, Stracciatella and Quattro Formaggi.
As for the pasta, you can’t beat the Tajarin, where thin strands of egg pasta cling onto a moreish duck ragù, and the Rigatoni alla Vodka which is made with a creamy, tomato-based pink sauce, basil, chilli-infused vodka, and a house-made nduja (a spicy, spreadable pork sausage). If you fancy something heartier, the Veal Milanese is a show-stopping 500-gram veal loin on the bone—rich and oozing with juices beneath a golden crust of parmigiano breadcrumbs.
Wine lovers will find plenty to love and uncover in Casa Cicheti’s curated selection of over 80 bottles while the cocktail selection features reimagined takes on Italian classics. We suggest ordering the Casa Bloody Mary, which is practically a meal on its own, or the refreshing Sgroppino which is a frothy, bubbly blend of homemade lemon sorbet, vodka, and verdicchio spumante.

Image credit: Prego | Supplied
Located at Fairmont Singapore, is known for its authentic Italian flavours and buzzy atmosphere, reminiscent of the vibrant streets of Italy. The restaurant has launched a new menu designed by Chef Davide Bizzarri. Inspired by his Tuscan heritage, Chef Davide leans in equally to authenticity and creativity—from handmade pastas and wood-fired pizzas to antipasti and premium grilled meats, each dish reflects a time-honoured recipe.
Highlights include the Polpo e Fagioli, where charred Fremantle octopus is reimagined with a Tuscan twist, served with braised cannellini beans ‘uccelletto’ style, a very traditional way of preparing creamy beans and served with marinated piquillo peppers. The Gigli al Pesto Toscano is a tribute to Chef Davide’s Pisan roots, featuring house-made flower-shaped pasta in Chef’s signature Tuscan kale pesto made with fresh Tuscan kale from the hotel’s aquaponics farm and then finished with cured vine cherry tomatoes.
Several dishes from Chef Davide’s first menu at Prego remain as much-loved classics, including two of his personal favourites—the Casarecce alle Costine e Tartufo, featuring the unique house-made casarecce pasta with braised Wagyu beef short rib ragout, mascarpone, and seasonal Italian truffle which is flown into Prego weekly from Umbria, and the Bruschetta Baccalà Mantecato, a traditional salted cod mousse with ajoblanco and lime.
At the end of your meal you’ll receive a complimentary glass of limoncello, served tableside from a Limoncello trolley. Traditionally enjoyed as a digestif in Italy, this gesture is deeply rooted in Italian culture and hospitality, bringing a taste of Italy’s warmth to Prego.

The beloved Jiak Chuan Road institution has carved a niche for itself as Singapore's first dedicated pasta and wine bar, offering a first-of-its-kind dining experience centred around both enjoyment and exploration of the two cherished traditions in a daily Italian meal.
The team worked together to bring the best of new and old into its revamped food menu—keeping the focus on eight signature pasta dishes, complemented by a tight curation of starters and desserts for a well-rounded meal.
Highlights include the Smoked Rigatoni Cacio e Pepe, where bronze-extruded rigatoni is charred on the grill and infused with a lingering smokiness, before being tossed into the pan with pecorino, aged parmigiano reggiano, Sarawak black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon to cut through it all, and the Tagliatelle al Ragù, an unassuming dish that coats every strand of spinach tagliatelle with a rich, jammy ragù sauce made from beef cheeks that have been braised low and slow in Merlot and aromatics until it all falls apart.

Image credit: Fiamma | Supplied
A salute to the heritage and spirit of Italian family cuisine by Chef Mauro Colagreco, is nestled in the heart of Capella and is one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Singapore. Inspired by the intimate and vibrant atmosphere of an Italian family kitchen, the menu is a refreshing take on the flavours and textures you would expect from any Italian nonna’s (Italian for grandmother) repertoire.
Food wise, you can’t beat the braised veal shank risotto with veal jus, marjoram and saffron cream, and the cacio e pepe complete with handmade short ridged pasta, pecorino romano cheese and lashings of pepper. The char-grilled lamb cutlets with Taggiasca olive jus and gratinated polenta also deserves a special mention.
Cicheti

(pronounced chee-keh-tee) are the signature small plates native to Venetian bàcaris, or wine bars, that meld traditional Italian heritage with distinct Mediterranean influences—which is exactly what you can expect from this Italian restaurant in Singapore.
Occupying a two-storey shophouse in Singapore’s Arab quarter, Cicheti is known for its authentic, wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas. Our favourites include diavola (crushed peeled tomatoes, salami, fior di latte, grana padano, crushed chilli flakes and extra virgin olive oil) and prosciutto e rucola (fior di latte, prosciutto di parma, arugula, shaved parmigiano and extra virgin olive oil). If you don’t fancy pizza, the braised lamb ragu with porcini, parmigiano and rosemary is also delicious.

Like its name, Locanda (which means inn in Italian) charms with a home-like warmth and is the perfect place to refuel with simple and hearty Italian classics.
Locanda’s curated range of Italian appetisers, designed for sharing, are a great way to start a meal like the Bruscaccia, their signature onion focaccia laden with a range of toppings. Just like their sister restaurant, you can indulge in a selection of house specialty pasta creations, including the Malloreddus with Red Wine Octopus Ragu and Capers and Pappardelle Ragu Genovese with Mixed Mushrooms.
Some highlights from the mains include the Secreto Iberico Pork served with braised endives and apple sauce. The Turbot Fillet is accompanied by a Mediterranean sauce of fresh tomatoes, capers, olives, oregano, and a touch of lemon. The large serving dishes are perfect for bigger groups of up to four, such as the Beef OP Ribs, Rucola and Parmesan, Baked Potato and the Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare, where a generous portion of pasta is tossed in a vibrant seafood tomato sauce, then adorned with sautéed shellfish.

The team have recently launched their new spring a la carte menu which allows you to curate your own culinary adventure. Priced at S$148++, you can select any combination of four dishes from the a la carte menu, spanning starters, pasta, mains, and dessert.
For the main course, we recommend the succulent Wild Dover Sole, lightly seasoned and slow cooked to obtain a perfectly tender and juicy fillet. Complemented by vibrant green peas, velvety potato fondant, and the sweet tang of Borettane onion, this dish celebrates the essence of spring with its fresh, seasonal ingredients and culinary finesse. As for the pasta dishes, you can’t beat the Aquerello Risotto which combines creamy richness with the delicate essence of red prawn tartare, complemented by sweet peppers and black olives.
To finish, look no further than the Giffoni Hazelnut, served with Guanaja dark chocolate and raspberry or the refreshing Amalfi Lemon with pink pepper and Limoncello granita.
Fortuna
7 Craig Road
Image credit: Fortuna | Supplied
The Italian trifactor of pizza, pasta and passion come together in a holy trinity of good food and good times with the opening of , Singapore’s first Sicilian Neapolitan restaurant in Tanjong Pagar.
Showcasing a menu that celebrates a love for Italian ingredients perfected by the artistry of Italian cooking, Fortuna was brought to life by the magic hands of Italian friends—master pizzaiola Giorgio Sorce, Michelin-starred restaurant trained head chef Omar Tutino and F&B operators Egon Marzaioli and Alessandra Gulino. Supporting them is Lukas Teo of Lukas Capital Group, Fortuna’s Food & Beverage partner in Singapore.
Pizza at Fortuna comes in three styles: the Napoletana Pizza is made from dough that is left to rise for 50 hours through a two-process fermentation, shaped four hours later and baked in a woodfire Valoriani oven. There’s also the Fried & Baked Pizza that is double-cooked first by frying then baking for extra crispiness. The Contemporary Pizza Al Ruoto is cooked in an aluminium pan following a unique three-way pre-fermented dough process that takes 18 hours. The result is an incredibly crunchy outside and soft inside. Taste them in classic flavours like Marinara, Margherita, Capricciosa or Diavola and Fortuna’s own creations like Gambero & Stracciata and Mortadella & Pistacchio as well as bolder flavours like Truffle & Anchovies and Tuna & Onions.
All of Fortuna’s pasta is made in-house using only quality flour from Naples, local free-range eggs and Sicilian olive oil. We recommend the ‘1000’ Layers Lasagna that is prepared the exact way of Egon’s mother in Sicily with layers of Provolone del Monaco and a Bronte Pistacchio pesto, and the Mafalde, where the ribboned edges of pasta perfectly hold up the rich 24-hour slow cooked ragout topped with Fortuna chilli oil and burnt provolone cheese torched tableside.

We recommend the pigeon with beetroot, pear and Moscato sauce. A variation to the restaurant’s signature dish, the ten-day dry-aged pigeon is cured with a blend of spices, then marinated with olive oil and grappa before being char-grilled over binchotan with a glazing of Italian acacia honey. It’s delicately sweet and not overly gamey.

To start, we recommend the arancini which are breaded rice balls stuffed with mushroom and mozzarella and covered in a homemade tomato sauce. When it comes to pasta, you can’t go wrong with the spinach ricotta ravioli or the lamb ragu garganelli.
