Trapizza

Trapizza is a casual, family-friendly Italian restaurant on Siloso Beach in Sentosa. It is run by the Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa resort and serves thin-crust pizza, Roman-style pinsa, pasta and grills, with the sea in view.

It fits neatly into a beach day. You can walk in from the sand for a long lunch, or stay on for dinner once the heat of the day has eased.

What to order

Pizza is the heart of the menu. The handmade pizzas have a thin crust and cover the familiar names, from Margherita and Quattro Formaggi to Pizza Di Mare with prawns, mussels and crab meat. The Pizza Siciliana brings Sicilian pork sausage and salami.

Trapizza also makes pinsa, a Roman-style pizza with a light base that stays crunchy around the rim and airy in the middle. The dough contains no egg or dairy. Each pinsa is named after an Italian city or region, such as Pinsa Napoli with buffalo mozzarella and Pinsa Alba with truffle and porcini. Pinsa Torino, spread with chocolate hazelnut, works as a dessert.

Other dishes worth a look:

• Linguine Trapizza: the house seafood pasta, with prawns, mussels, clams and more in a lobster sauce.
• Agnolotti all'Aragosta: stuffed pasta with lobster, burrata and salmon roe.
• From the grill: ribeye, lamb rack, salmon and a Wagyu beef burger.
• Desserts: tiramisu, sfogliatella with orange ricotta cream, and gelato.

Good for families and groups

A few dishes are made for sharing. The family-size pizza lets you choose any three flavours. There is also a family-size Wagyu burger with potato wedges, meant for four people. The family burger takes about 25 minutes to prepare, so order it early if the children are hungry.

Many of the pizzas contain pork. The menu uses symbols to mark pork, vegetarian dishes and common allergens such as nuts, gluten and seafood. Let the staff know about any dietary needs when you order.

The setting

The restaurant sits on the beach itself. Some tables are set out on the sand, and there is also seating indoors if you want a break from the sun. The mood is relaxed and holiday-like, with families and beachgoers rather than a formal dinner crowd.

Good to know before you go

• You can book a table through Chope.
• Opening times vary through the week, so check before you make the trip.
• The menu changes from time to time, so some of the dishes named here may have been swapped for others.
• More details are on the resort's Trapizza page.
