Ristorante Pepenero

Singapore is a cosmopolitan city, but Pepenero stands out by virtue of their chefs’ efforts to combine the nuanced simplicity of Italian cuisine with the contemporary, making Pepenero’s location all the more apt. You’ll find this modern Italian restaurant on Stanley Road, between historic Tanjong Pagar and Raffles Place’s highrises. Ristorante Pepenero is simply Italian – in the heart of Singapore’s Chinatown.

Beautifully presented Italian dishes are the order of the day at Singapore’s Pepenero, where the kitchen is intent on preserving the authenticity of the cuisine you’d expect from a domestic Italian ristorante while remaining unafraid to introduce subtle flourishes that remind diners they are enjoying a meal in 21st-century Singapore. Just a stone’s throw from the bustling urban hub of Singapore’s downtown core, but equally within earshot of the hubbub surrounding historic Tanjong Pagar, Pepenero’s Stanley Street premises are the place to go for contemporary fine Italian dining.

Central to Pepenero’s ethos is that every product from the earth should be eaten during its natural season of ripening in order to be able to fully enjoy its flavours. This is a philosophical keystone that every Italian gourmand – or humble peasant, for that matter – would appreciate. And it means that every ingredient used in Pepenero’s a la carte, set lunch, or delectable 5- and 6-course degustation menus is as fresh as possible. It also means that what you eat at Pepenero’s Stanley Street premises changes through the course of the year – a perfect excuse for a repeat booking! And indeed, many diners looking for Italian cuisine in Singapore’s Tanjong Pagar have become Pepenero devotees.
