Fiamma

Fiamma is the Italian restaurant at Capella Singapore, a luxury resort on Sentosa. It opened in June 2022 as a project with Mauro Colagreco, the Italian-Argentine chef behind Mirazur in France. The name means "flame" in Italian, and fire sits at the centre of the cooking.

The food is classic Italian, shaped by family recipes and memories of home. Expect fresh pasta, pizza from a wood-fired oven, and meat and fish cooked over open flames. It suits a long lunch after a morning on the beach, or a relaxed dinner at the resort.

What to order

The menu changes with the seasons, so treat any list of dishes as a guide. Pizza is a safe start, since the wood-fired oven is the heart of the kitchen.

Handmade pasta is the other strength. When Fiamma opened, the kitchen made ravioli using the method of Colagreco's grandmother. Grilled meats and the catch of the day suit anyone who wants something simple and well cooked.

Save room for the tiramisu. The MICHELIN Guide notes that it is large enough for two to share. It comes topped with a crisp shell of caramelised sugar.

The setting

Hong Kong designer André Fu planned the space, which has about 138 seats. The room is long and gently curved, with views across the garden towards the sea. Warm shades of sand, terracotta and pale oak give it a relaxed, rustic look, a little like an Italian farmhouse.

The space is split into several areas, so you can pick the mood you want:

• The main dining room looks into a glass-fronted open kitchen.
• A long terrace overlooks the pool and garden, and is the spot for a slow lunch.
• A smaller den holds the wood-fired pizza oven.
• A private room seats up to 16 guests for groups and celebrations.

Good to know before you go

• Fiamma handles its own bookings, so reserve directly with the restaurant or through the official website.
• The MICHELIN Guide lists wheelchair access, a car park and valet parking.
• Pizza and pasta make it easier to please a mixed group than a set tasting menu would.

Getting there

Fiamma is inside Capella Singapore at 1 The Knolls on Sentosa. A taxi or ride-hailing car is the simplest way to arrive, as it drops you at the hotel entrance. Drivers can use the hotel's valet parking.

Nearby

Make a day of it on the island. Palawan Beach is good for a swim, and Fort Siloso covers Singapore's wartime past. For another meal on Sentosa, try Cassia or Hashida Singapore.
