Braci Italian Restaurant and Rooftop Kitchen and Bar

For true-blue Italian soul, head to this buzzy hideaway that’s aiming to redefine modern Italian food in Singapore. The stylish rooftop open kitchen, helmed by restaurateur-chef Beppe De Vito and Chef De Cuisine Matteo Ponti, is spread across the top two floors of a heritage shophouse in Boat Quay, overlooking the Singapore River.

Awarded a Michelin star every year since 2017, Braci’s exclusive menu takes diners on a journey to the North of Italy, through the Padan Plain, the delta of the Po River, the coast of Liguria, Milan, the Alpine lakes and the Dolomite Mountains. Sip on a Banoffee Negroni or a vodka-based Tiramisu and enjoy the trip!

Don’t miss: A five- and seven-course degustation menu is available for both lunch and dinner ($208 and $258 respectively). There’s also an ever-evolving three-course Executive Set Lunch from Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays ($88).

Art di Daniele Sperindio

With panoramic views of Marina Bay, this Michelin starred rooftop restaurant and bar atop the iconic National Gallery Singapore more than deserves its place on our list. The neo-Italian fine-dining restaurant is inspired by chef-owner Daniele Sperindio, a Ligurian with global experience, and is known for its “conversational cuisine”.

Daniele’s passion for Italian food shines through in the menu of this Singapore restaurant, right from the pane e poesia (the humble bread course) through the progressive pasta courses and desserts. Special mention for “tourists on Mount Vesuvio”, a play on the classic Mont Blanc dessert made from latte di bufala gelato, bitter cacao nibs, biscotto all’amarena and 40-year-old balsamico!

Bottega di Carna

Reservations stack up quickly for hot new modern Italian restaurant Bottega di Carna. Overlooking the garden at the Mondrian Singapore Duxton, the light-filled restaurant is making waves, with master butcher Dario Cecchini joining forces with Executive Chef Alastair Clayton and Chef de Cuisine Kenny Huang to create a dining experience that’s becoming the ticket for long lunches and vibey dinners.

The star of Netflix’s Chef’s Table, Dario has been hailed by the New York Times as the “world’s greatest butcher”, and his menu can be traced back to his origins in Tuscany’s Chianti region.

Bottega di Carna Singapore

With an open kitchen to showcase the chefs at work, a bold progressive wine list and a statement bar where guests can while away an evening over a negroni or aperitivo, you can look forward to creative handmade pasta and classic and unexpected cuts of meat from Dario’s wood-fired grill, rubbed down with his signature salt profumo del chianti.

Don’t miss: The three-olive martini, Dario’s twist on a dirty martini with salty olives, Grey Goose vodka and peppery olive oil.
