As we step into the final quarter of the year, Singapore’s vibrant drinking scene continues to flourish with an array of exciting new bar openings. From the bustling streets of Chinatown and the laid-back vibes of Paya Lebar to the tranquil island of Sentosa and beyond, there are countless reasons to rediscover the city.
Experience the Italian charm of ANTO Pizza, teleport to Japan at Nikutosake, and geek out at Vivino’s first flagship store. For those seeking a romantic setting, both Logi and The Pineapple Room offer charming interiors paired with impressive food and drink selections, making them perfect choices for a memorable night out.
ANTO Pizza E Aperitivi
ANTO Pizza E Aperitivi is led by Pignola-born cousins, Hong Kong-based bartender and entrepreneur Giancarlo Mancino, and Singapore-based Master Pizzaiolo Antonio Brancato. Together, they bring a true sense of Italian sophistication, with simplicity and authenticity at its heart. Nestled within a heritage shophouse along the charming Jiak Chuan Road, this cosy 80-seater is truly a ‘slice’ of Italy.
Each pizza is crafted with Molino Dallagiovanna flour from Northern Italy, prized for its pure Italian grains that create a light, airy dough after a 24-hour proof. The homemade tomato sauce features fresh Italian tomatoes, carefully seasoned, stewed, and hand-crushed.
At the five-metre bar, an impressive pizza oven stands alongside a wall stocked with premium spirits, including Giancarlo’s own Mancino Vermouth. A must-try is the Pineapple Pizza Negroni ($25), a captivating Bianco Negroni-style cocktail crafted with Big Kahuna Pineapple Gin, ham, tomato bitters, Mancino Vermouth Bianco, and freeze-dried mozzarella.
