Located in The Regent Singapore, Basilico offers plush seating in its spacious dining room, a salubrious poolside view and quality Italian cuisine. Take your pick from a la carte and buffet options featuring a dazzling array of antipasti, mains and desserts. The oven-baked focaccia topped with robiola cheese and black summer truffles is a must-try. The earthy flavour of the truffles pairs perfectly with the rich, savoury cheese—just be careful not to fill up on it as there is so much more to enjoy. Another recommendation is the risotto alla pugliese, comprising carnaroli rice cooked al dente, with lobster, scallops, tiger prawns and asparagus in a citrusy cream sauce. For a trek off the beaten path, try the bombette alla locorotondese, a Locorotondo-style wagyu beef roll with smoked scamorza cheese, cured pork belly and rocket salad. The roulades of beef are imbued with an inimitably sweet and smokyflavour.

The food is accompanied by excellent service, making this a great place to take loved ones for a meal.
