Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen

If you’re craving a mouth-watering porterhouse away from the bustling crowds of Singapore’s food-obsessed business district, Griglia is your oasis. Tucked among Tanjong Pagar’s highly rated eateries, this unassuming Italian grill serves a premium cut aged 200 days and fired over a custom cast-iron charcoal grill. The soundtrack—ranging from The Beach Boys’ Surfin’ USA to Gianni Morandi’s Andavo A Cento All’ora—sets a light-hearted yet sophisticated tone. Griglia’s menu goes beyond meats and seafood, featuring Italian favourites like tender pork cheeks with pappardelle and house-made focaccia drizzled with Apulian extra virgin olive oil. An ample wine selection complements the offerings, and for the perfect finale, indulge in the Cappucinomisu—a playful reinterpretation of Italy’s most famous dessert, combining buffalo mascarpone with port wine cappuccino foam.
