9 Best Italian Restaurants in Singapore 2026: $22.90 Set Lunches to a One-Star Tasting Menu

Chef Denis Lucchi's restaurant sits in a conserved black-and-white bungalow on Scotts Road and holds One MICHELIN Star in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026. It serves set menus only, and the pricing is published plainly: lunch is 4 courses at $128++ or 5 courses at $178++, Monday to Friday, while dinner is 6 courses from $248++ (the 6-course menu can also be served at lunch, subject to availability). Wine is a 3-glass flight at $88++ at either service, or a 6-glass pairing at $178++ at dinner. The one detail nobody publishes: corkage is $90++ per 750ml bottle, or free on a one-for-one basis when you buy a bottle from their list, which is the single biggest saving available here if you drink. The dining room has ten tables and seats 30, with three private rooms taking up to 14. Dinner runs 6.30pm to 10.30pm with last seating at 8.30pm; lunch is 12pm to 3pm with last seating at 1.30pm; Saturdays and public holidays are dinner only and it is closed on Sunday. Reservations for up to six go through TableCheck and carry a $100 card authorisation, released if you cancel at least 48 hours out. 29 Scotts Road, Singapore 228224. BEST FOR: the anniversary dinner where you do not want to think about parking.

This is the most interesting Italian opening of 2026. Assaggi launched in August 2026 on the second floor of a Neil Road shophouse, from Denis Lucchi of Buona Terra, and it is built to be the un-fine-dining version of the same cooking. Two tasting menus at dinner, both $88++: the Signature Journey (starter, pasta, main, then a shared Paccheri all'Amatriciana, a fruit pre-dessert and dessert) and the Pasta Journey (three pastas in sequence, with an optional Ossobuco Ravioli with black truffle). Lunch is an Express Lunch of 3 courses at $58++, Tuesday to Friday. The restaurant asks for 60 to 90 minutes, not the two and a half hours a starred room usually wants, and the drinks list leans natural and biodynamic with an unusually deep alcohol-free selection developed with Bar Kakure. Tuesday to Saturday, lunch 12pm to 3pm and dinner 6pm to 10.30pm, closed Sunday and Monday. There is a private room for up to 12. 77A Neil Road, Level 2, Singapore 088903, a 3 to 4 minute walk from Maxwell MRT (Exit 3), with an open-air URA car park directly in front. BEST FOR: a tasting menu on a weeknight, at a third of the flagship's price.

Pasta Bar on Keong Saik does one thing and does it obsessively: fresh pasta made daily from 14 different dough recipes, with the menu rewritten by season (the Summer Menu is the current one). The value play here is the set lunch, which the restaurant lists at $45++ and runs Wednesday to Sunday, 12pm to 3pm: your pick of starters and handmade pastas off the seasonal menu plus dessert, with a curated wine selection at $18 a glass if you want it. Set menus for the whole table are also available. Dinner runs seven days a week, 6pm onwards, with last order at 9.45pm, so it is one of the few kitchens here that will feed you on a Monday night. 55 Keong Saik Road, #01-05, Singapore 089158; enquiries and bookings at mangia@pastabar.sg or +65 6222 0637. BEST FOR: a proper handmade-pasta lunch in Chinatown for under $60 a head all in.

Locanda is the same group's inn-style room on Rowell Road, and it is where you go when you want the Buona Terra kitchen's hand without the tasting-menu commitment. Pasta is $24 to $32 (Casarecce with tomato, capers and olives $24; Mezze Maniche all'Amatriciana $26; Pappardelle with beef ragu and porcini $28; Tagliolini with crab $32), mains are $38 to $48, antipasti $18 to $32, and dessert is a flat $16. There is a Signature menu at $98++ per person, minimum two and ordered for the whole table, which adds a shared main course for $10 more a head. The sleeper order is the large-format section built for groups: Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare at $78 for two or $128 for four, a whole charcoal-grilled 800g seabass at $88, a salt-crusted 1kg turbot at $138, and a 1.2kg Beef OP Rib at $258. Note the schedule, because it is unusual: Monday 12pm to 3pm and 6pm to 11pm, closed Tuesday, Wednesday dinner only, then Thursday to Sunday lunch and dinner. Filtered water is $2 a head. 109 Rowell Road, Singapore 208033. BEST FOR: a group of four to six who want one big centrepiece dish.

Cicheti has held the three-storey shophouse on Kandahar Street for years on the strength of its wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas and an all-local kitchen team. Prices off its own ordering menu: Margherita $28, Napoletana $28.50, 'Nduja di Spilinga $28.50, Quattro Formaggi $30, Melanzane $32, Diavola $34, Salciccia and Bismarck $34.50, Romana and Prosciutto e Rucola $37. Pasta sits at $28 to $33.50, with the Lasagna at $28 and Rigatoni Cacio e Pepe at $32, and the arancini at $19.50 are the thing to order while you wait. The deal to know is the 3-pizza bundle at $78, which works out to $26 a pizza and beats ordering three separately at almost any combination. For a group, the Friendly Feast (feeds 2 to 3) is $98 and the Family Feast (feeds 4 to 5) is $188. Open every day, 12pm to 2.30pm and 6pm to 10.30pm, for both dine-in and delivery. The wine cellar runs to about 40 Italian labels, weighted towards native varietals like Freisa, Fiano and Ribolla Gialla. 52 Kandahar Street; +65 6292 5012. BEST FOR: pizza night for three or more, where the bundle does the work.

Antonio Miscellaneo opened La Bottega in Joo Chiat in 2021 after a decade of hosting weekend dinners at home, and it is now the best-ranked pizzeria in the country: No. 31 on the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific 2026 list published in March, plus the Latteria San Salvatore Award for the best dessert list in the region. Miscellaneo himself placed 85th in the Top 100 pizzaiolos at The Best Pizza Awards 2026, his fourth year running. The cooking follows his own map of Italy, with a mother from Sardegna and a father from Abruzzo, a childhood in Veneto and years in Bologna and Milan, so the menu carries Venetian sarde in saor and a Puglia-meets-Calabria cavatelli alla 'nduja alongside the pizza. Two menus run: the full dinner and lunch card, and a shorter lunch-only menu. Dinner is Monday to Thursday 5.30pm to 10.30pm (last order 10pm), Friday and Saturday to 11pm, Sunday to 10.30pm (last order 9.30pm). Lunch is Friday to Sunday only, 11.30am to 3pm, last order 2.15pm, which is the detail that catches people out. 346 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427596; bookings on WhatsApp at +65 9071 8400 or reservations@labottega.sg. BEST FOR: the best pizza on this list, if you can get a table.

Publico sits on the water at Robertson Quay with a lush alfresco garden that welcomes dogs, and it runs more scheduled offers than anywhere else on this list. Weekday lunch, Monday to Friday 12pm to 3pm excluding public holidays and blackout dates, is antipasti and mains from $32++ with optional dessert add-ons. Aperitivo Hour runs Monday to Friday 3pm to 6pm, last order 5.30pm, with cocktails from $12++. Supersocial, every Wednesday from 7pm, is two hours of free flow at $48++ per person covering Prosecco, house wines, Lychee Martini, Pornstar Martini, Cosmopolitan and bottled beer, with a $58++ package available on request. Pours for Paws adds three pet-safe drinks for the dog. The kitchen does wood-fired pizza, house-made pasta and shareable mains; weekend brunch runs Saturday, Sunday and public holidays. Sunday to Thursday 12pm to 10pm, Friday and Saturday to 11pm, with only the bar food menu from 9.30pm. The restaurant is fully cashless, and IHG One Rewards members earn 100 points per S$14 spent. 1 Nanson Road, Singapore 238909. BEST FOR: a long boozy riverside afternoon, with or without the dog.

Peperoni is the Les Amis Group's neighbourhood pizzeria, and its All Day Set Menu is the best-value sit-down Italian meal we found anywhere. Three sets, each bundling a starter, a main, dessert and a drink: the 9-inch Pizza Set at $22.90 (truffle fries, mushroom soup or endive salad, then any Classico pizza), the Pasta Set at $25.90 (chicken wings, calamari or Caesar salad, then any pasta except Gnocchi, Gamberi and Vongole), and the Main Course Set at $38.90 (arancini or minestrone, then Iberico pork chop Milanese, cioppino or Piedmont-style Angus beef cheek). Dessert is the dessert of the day or gelato; the drink is iced lemon tea, coffee or tea. The terms are the catch: dine-in only, Monday to Thursday only, not on public holidays or their eves, and not combinable with other promotions. Prices are before service charge and GST, except at Mountbatten Community Club, which charges no service. Eight outlets: Greenwood (6 Greenwood Avenue), Frankel (95 Frankel Avenue), Paya Lebar Quarter 3, Mountbatten Community Club, Upper Thomson, Biopolis, Suntec and United Square. BEST FOR: a full three courses on a weekday, for the price of a pizza elsewhere.

PastaMania is the answer to two questions this list otherwise cannot answer: where do you eat Italian food in Singapore if your table needs halal certification, and where do you eat it in a heartland mall. We searched the MUIS halal register on 2 September 2026 and all 16 of its Singapore premises are certified as eating establishments, including the three PastaMania Pronto outlets at Pioneer Mall, Toa Payoh Central and Changi Airport Terminal 2. Two standing deals are worth planning around. Diners aged 60 and above get 30% off all a la carte items every Monday, from 1 January to 31 December 2026, valid for dine-in and takeaway, not on public holidays, with the senior present and identification required. Kids Eat Free gives one free Kids' Meal (usual price $9.90) with every main from the adult menu, on the last Sunday of the month only, dine-in, paid over the counter rather than through order-at-table, for children aged 10 and below, and not at the three Pronto outlets. Free TriplePlus membership adds a 25% birthday voucher and up to 10% cashback. Outlets run from Causeway Point and Northpoint City in the north to Tampines Mall and Paya Lebar Square in the east, with the Toa Payoh Pronto open daily until 2am. BEST FOR: a halal Italian meal, a senior's Monday lunch, or a late-night carbonara in Toa Payoh.
