Altro Zafferano has long been associated with Italian dining sophistication in Singapore, evolving gracefully to meet the needs of modern patrons while maintaining its rich heritage. Originally known as Zafferano, the restaurant changed its name three years ago to Altro Zafferano — which means 'the other Zafferano' — to symbolise its shift towards contemporary gastronomy. Today, this transition takes a new turn as Altro Zafferano delivers an everyday eating experience designed for social occasions, casual dinners, and business gatherings alike.
The restaurant's revamped meals, led by Executive Chef Andrea De Paola and Head Chef Federico Schiraldi, feature robust Southern Italian flavours executed with polished refinement. Chef Andrea, who was born in Milan and raised in Naples, infuses his craft with childhood memories and modern culinary techniques, whilst Chef Federico, who is from Puglia, employs his farm-to-table philosophy and pastry perfection to produce soulful but meticulous dishes.
Their combined knowledge promotes high-quality produce, ranging from sun-ripened tomatoes and house-made pasta to Mediterranean seafood and artisanal cheeses, allowing authentic tastes to shine through balanced, lighter compositions tailored to the modern palate.
The new à la carte menu promotes conviviality and sharing, which is a cornerstone of Italian culture. Guests can enjoy a diverse menu that includes vivid starters, signature focaccinas, handmade pastas, fish and meat main courses, vegetarian options, sides, and sumptuous desserts. Highlights include house-made bread focaccina topped with sun-dried Neapolitan tomatoes and basil, ravioli stuffed with stracciatella and mascarpone, and branzino cooked in an aromatic acqua pazza broth. Weekday set lunch menus include two- and three-course selections, making them ideal for business hosting or casual meet-ups.
The outdoor Terrace Lounge, which offers magnificent views of the city and the bay, complements the cuisine. An new beverage menu with spritzes, aperitifs, creative cocktails, Italian digestifs, and an affordable wine list complements light snacks. The renowned Sunset Aperitivo Happy Hour continues to tempt with special drink prices and complementary nibbles from 5.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m., which will shortly be augmented with live DJ performances for a more relaxed, dynamic ambiance.
The restaurant's lofty location on the 43rd level of the Ocean Financial Centre reflects its culinary culture. A contemporary open kitchen and warmly coloured interiors offer a multimodal dining experience. Handcrafted Sicilian extra virgin olive oil decorates tables alongside rustic-chic crockery, underlining authenticity. Private dining options cater to both private meetings and big corporate occasions, giving places that balance privacy with a connection to the main dining room’s vitality.
Whether seated in the stylish main dining room or on the breezy Terrace Lounge, guests are welcome to linger, engage, and appreciate the best of Italian hospitality, which Altro Zafferano continues to serve with heart and flair.
