Singapore is home to many Italian restaurants, offering the likes of handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas using only top-quality ingredients. Whether you prefer a casual or fine dining experience, here is our 2022 list of Top 10 Italian Restaurants in Singapore worth checking out.
1) Al Borgo
Here’s a charmingly rustic, family-friendly restaurant that specialises in authentic Italian cuisine. Led by Chef Russo Tiziano, Al Borgo uses only the freshest imported ingredients possible no matter whether you are craving pizza or pasta. For instance, if you prefer the latter, some of the signature dishes include Cappellini Anduja e Gamberi (angel hair pasta with fresh tiger prawns in Calabria’s Italian red chilli sauce & cherry tomatoes) and Spaghetti al Cartoccio — a seafood-heavy pasta filled with prawns and others like shrimps and claims in light Bisque sauce wrapped in a paper).
