And lovers of Italian wines won’t be disappointed either!
Where to go for good Italian food in Singapore Allora Ristorante and Bar – Italian wines and cuisine in Crowne Plaza Changi Airport
Eat and drink your way through Italy at this dining destination inside the “world’s best airport hotel”. Allora blends the industrial vibe of Milan with the breezy charm of Southern Italy. It’s ideal for date night, a casual dinner and also cocktails with friends.
At the helm of this Italian restaurant in Singapore is Executive Chef Stefano Sanna, who draws inspiration from his family’s culinary traditions in Vogogna, Northern Italy. His menu celebrates authenticity: handcrafted pasta, artisanal pizzas from a metallic mosaic oven, antipasti and house-made tiramisu. You can also expect a thoughtfully curated list of Italian wines.
On the table, highlights include the Polpo & Patate ($24), grilled octopus with bagna cauda dip, and the Brasato 3 Pepi Ravioli ($32), a braised beef pasta. Pizza lovers can’t miss the signature Bari ($34) – a mix of burrata, tomato pulp filets, anchovies, capers and basil. It’s best enjoyed alfresco under Allora’s brightly coloured parasols. Other favourites include the Pomodoro e Basilico ($28), Beef Brisket Pizza ($38), Genova Prawn Risotto ($32), Parmigiana Pizza ($30) and the Gnocchi al Ragù Bolognese ($26).
Allora’s cocktails double as desserts, too. The Caffè di Treviso ($25) pays homage to the birthplace of tiramisu, blending Tried & True Vodka, Mancino Kopi Vermouth, Monin Tiramisu and Guinness stout, topped with mascarpone foam, Biscoff crumble, and dark chocolate. Meanwhile, the Smile, Lo Sgroppino ($24) reimagines the Venetian palate cleanser with pear-infused gin, lemon sorbet, prosecco and Vin Santo for a floral cocktail.
For something special, Allora hosts a monthly Italian Sunday Brunch. It’s on the last Sunday of each month, and priced at $98 per adult. Diners can enjoy live stations, seasonal themes, exclusive collaborations and a must-try signature: the famous one-metre pizza. Afternoon Tea at this Italian restaurant is another treat, served daily from 2pm to 5pm ($68 per set for two). It includes free-flow tea or Bacha Coffee, savoury bites, and scones with clotted cream and jam. Then there’s Allora’s Aperitivo and Grill with Italian barbecue canapes and aperitivo drinks on Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm to 7pm ($48 per person).

Thirty9 – Italian restaurant in Duxton Hill
In a quiet corner of Duxton Hill, Thirty9 offers a fresh take on Italian cuisine. It’s the younger sibling of neighbouring Italian restaurant Latteria, yet distinct in character – contemporary and relaxed, and also firmly rooted in the philosophy that good Italian food starts with good ingredients.
At the helm is Executive Chef Erik Trozzo. Want handmade pasta in Singapore? It’s their speciality, along with Napoli-style pizzas and also seasonal plates that balance traditional Italian cuisine with an artisanal touch. The setting works just as well for an intimate dinner as it does for a business lunch or special celebration.
The menu draws inspiration from across Italy, showcasing fresh seafood, organic produce, slow-cooked ragùs and house-cured meats. Highlights include fusilli with a rich Neapolitan pork-and-beef ragù, maccheroni alla carbonara done the classic way (no cream, just guanciale and egg), and maltagliati – “badly cut” pasta whose uneven shapes catch every bit of sauce. Seafood lovers will enjoy the linguine alla pescatora or the whole red snapper casserole baked under a pizza dough crust. The tomahawk steak, meanwhile, comes straight off the grill, and is great for sharing.
The wine list, curated by owner and hobby sommelier Peter Stilli, includes bottles from around the globe. Want a personal recommendation? Just ask.

Latteria Mozzarella Bar – Italian restaurant in the CBD
Latteria brings a slice of Southern Italy to Singapore’s CBD. Housed in a restored Duxton Hill shophouse, it blends cosy indoor dining with a garden terrace that’s just as suited to long, lazy brunches as it is to romantic dinners under the stars.
At its heart is the Burrata & Mozzarella Bar, with premium cheeses flown in directly from Italy. Served in both classic and inventive ways, they anchor a menu that celebrates not only the richness but also the variety of traditional Italian cuisine. Expect handmade pasta in Singapore, seasonal vegetables, and quality meats, seafood and desserts. Dishes are prepared daily with a focus on authenticity.
Highlights at this Italian restaurant include the spaghetti alla Mediterranea, loaded with prawns, clams and mussels in a fragrant tomato-basil sauce, and also the burratina al tartufo starter with truffle, pumpkin and creamy burrata. The Rosticciana, Tuscan-style pork ribs slow-baked with garlic and potatoes, is a signature, while generous antipasto platters featuring the restaurant’s cheeses and cold cuts are made for sharing.
