Get away from the bustling city and head to The Cliff in Sentosa for a slice of Italy. 

Located at the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa, The Cliff has always been under the radar, but it is worth heading to for a leisurely lunch or peaceful date night. 

Its new Italian chef de cuisine Paolo Benedet, who has been in Singapore for more than 10 years, has revamped the menu to offer southern Italian fare featuring sustainably sourced produce and herbs from the hotel’s garden. 

Prices start at $39++ for a weekday two-course set lunch, and from $88++ for a three-course set dinner (from 6pm daily). 

Begin your lunch with a refreshing starter of endive salad with gorgonzola dolce, candied pecans dressed in a pomegranate and cherry vinaigrette or buffalo mozzarella caprese with cherry tomatoes. 

Main course options for lunch include herb-roasted sustainably farmed sea bass with ratatouille, and pork pluma with braised cannellini beans with lardo. 

For dinner, the spaghetti alla puttanesca is also part of the line-up of mains. 

The dishes are available in the a la carte menu, alongside other dishes such as burrata with parma ham ($35), grilled octopus ($32) with cauliflower puree and iberico chorizo, and OnlyEg Parmigiana ($26), which uses plant-based eggless patty and roma tomatoes. 

To finish, order the signature tiramisu, made with chef Benedet’s family recipe.
