ZAFFERANO ITALIAN RESTAURANT & LOUNGE

Ocean Financial Centre, Level 43, 10 Collyer Quay, S(049315)

TEL: 6509 1488

At the heart of this seven-year-old establishment is its quality “moditalian” cuisine, which earned it a L’assiette Michelin (Michelin Plate) in 2018. Zafferano’s use of the freshest ingredients brings the ocean to the table—such as the red prawns from Mazara, served raw at the table; they’re rich, with a salty aroma that brings to mind a whiff of the Sicilian coast. The oven-baked black cod is perfectly executed, resulting in a moist fish that’s rich in flavour. The housemade pastas are strong on Tuscan flavours and are not to be missed. This season’s menu delivers the authentic taste of each individual ingredient, such as the fettuccine tossed with porcini mushrooms and Australian winter truffle, or the charcoal-grilled grass-fed Black Angus tenderloin from Tasmania, prepared alla griglia. With an expert in-house sommelier and an excellent wine list, evenings are when the bar area truly comes alive, offering spectacular views of the city and the Marina Bay area— this is a perfect private party spot for the city’s sophisticated set.
