In Singapore, there are plenty of Italian restaurants to choose from. Do you have a hankering for wood-fired pizzas and fresh pasta?

Chef Andrea De Paola, a young cook who has worked in prestigious kitchens such as the one-Michelin-starred Braci, elevates Italian food to new heights with his stunning plates. He draws inspiration from his hometown of Naples to create hearty Italian plates with a creative twist, such as Scampi ($38), par-grilled shrimp served with a white miso sauce created with blended white sesame and 25-year-old mirin; spaghetti with razor clams (from $34), and more.

Volare by La Barca
What was originally known as La Barca is now known as Volare. Did you know that Volare also means “To Fly”? Thus, the Italian National Bird, a swallow, is now part of the restaurant signage. Expect the same old dishes at this Italian restaurant in the picturesque Katong neighborhood, which is still led by chef Giuseppe Di Gaetano. For only $27.90 on weekday lunches, you may enjoy a three-course feast!

Can we ask for anything more than fresh ingredients and traditional Italian cuisine served beside gorgeous poolside views? Start your meal with Treccia Campana di Bufala ($36), a 10kg buffalo mozzarella cheese from southern Italy plated and served tableside with anchovies. Are you still hungry? To share, get the filled ravioli with spinach ($32) and the Pan-seared wagyu beef tenderloin ($52) with sweet potato cannolo that is sure to fill you up.
