While our Singapore hawker food is great, I cannot deny that Italian cuisine is something my friends and I turn to now and then for comfort. There is just something about wood-fired pizzas and house-made pasta that gets me craving Italian food. It is a fact that a meal at a fancy Italian restaurant can burn a hole in your pockets. This is why I searched high and low for 17 best Italian restaurants in Singapore at different price points, hoping to make your hunt for an Italian restaurant easier!
