Welcome home. Or, as the Italians would say, benvenuti a casa. In Italy, passion, laughter, tradition and love are the usual background to an informal dinner at home, and it’s this that Ricciotti transfer to this fine Italian restaurant on Singapore’s Upper Circular Road. Ricciotti stands out not only because of good food – for which it has been known since 2004 – but for being a wonderfully cosy place to sit amongst stylish decor as well as contemporary art and music. Oh, and the service is exceptional, too. The kitchen – helmed by Michelin-experienced chef Matteo Ponti – takes an admirable approach, importing the finest ingredients from Italy whilst also preparing fresh pastas and breads, in house, every day. You simply have to take a trip to this Clarke Quay location and experience everything that is irresistibly Italian.
