Singapore’s Italian dining scene is about to get even more exciting with the arrival of Scarpetta, a brand-new artisanal pasta bar opened its doors on 7 February 2025 at 47 Amoy Street. Inspired by the Italian tradition of La Scarpetta—where diners mop up every last drop of sauce with bread—Scarpetta embraces the philosophy of savouring every bite, delivering a refined yet casual dining experience that puts fresh, handcrafted pasta at centre stage.

Authentic Flavours, Artisanal Pasta, and a Front-Row Dining Experience

Helmed by Head Chef Danny Ng, Scarpetta is dedicated to showcasing bold, well-balanced flavours through high-quality ingredients and meticulous culinary craftsmanship. The menu offers a curated selection of Italian classics with a contemporary touch, from flavour-packed appetisers to indulgent fresh pasta dishes and expertly crafted desserts.
