While our city does not lack for contemporary Italian restaurants, few come close to matching the exquisite dining experience one gets at il Cielo. Perched on the top floor of Hilton Singapore, the restaurant offers guests a bird's eye view of the teeming crowds on Orchard Road, a fitting tribute to its name that translates to 'the sky'. With its small 48-seater capacity and hyper-personalised service, this intimate restaurant is a perfect venue for a romantic evening or small dinner celebrations.

Here, each dish is carefully conceived by Chef Yohhei Sasaki, who boasts years of experience working in top Italian restaurants across Japan and Italy. Under Chef Sasaki's leadership, the kitchen conjures artful dishes that marry locally sourced natural ingredients with seasonal gourmet produce that are simply divine.

Partake in any of this award-winning restaurant's delectable offerings, such as the Pumpkin Charcoal Ravioli that comes with chickpeas cream, red onions, Modena balsamic, and black truffles. A must-have for any meat-lover, the Rack of Lamb is paired with a dab of sun-dried tomato tartar, and baby carrots for a slightly sweet finish. The Lobster Salad is also a refreshing option on a hot day, thanks to the addition of toscana roschetta, ice vegetables, bottarga, and mascarpone cream. Meanwhile, indecisive diners who want to sample a bit of everything should check out the degustation menus, available at both lunch and dinner service. (Jul 2017)
