With a spectacular panorama overlooking the Marina Bay skyline, Art’s “An Italian Tale” Gastronomic Experience for 2 ($468++ per pair) is perfect for an indulgent night out with the significant other. The all-inclusive experience comes complete with a five-course tasting menu, wine pairing and welcome prosecco for aperitifs at the accompanying rooftop alfresco bar.
The contemporary Italian tasting menu is an elegant gastronomic pilgrimage of Executive Chef Daniele Sperindio’s whimsical stories and delicious memories, with inspired dishes such as Cinque Terre, in which Chef Daniele pays tribute to his birthplace of Genoa in the form of smoked sardines, whipped baccalá oil, roasted artichokes and comice pear water, and Scarpetta, A Way of Living: an artful combination of San Marzano tomatoes, aged parmigiano, farfalle, Altamura semolina bread and (sauce) “classics”. Available daily until Saturday 31 July 2021, visit here for menu and reservations.
