Celebrated American Chef Nancy Silverton’s Osteria Mozza is bringing its unique brand of ingredient-specific, Cal-Italian cuisine to Singapore, showcasing simple cooking that allows impeccably sourced seasonal produce to shine. The new 120-seat restaurant at Hilton Singapore Orchard features classics from the original one-Michelin-starred outpost in Los Angeles as well as a number of new dishes crafted exclusively for Singapore.
“Singapore’s already insatiable appetite for top-notch dining has grown in recent years. I am excited to create a new Osteria Mozza experience in partnership with Hilton Singapore Orchard and OUE, one that highlights our classics yet is designed especially for Singapore,” said Nancy Silverton, Co-Owner of Osteria Mozza.
Hilton Singapore Orchard is the largest Hilton hotel in Asia Pacific and presents a beacon for Hilton’s flagship brand. A true dining destination, Hilton Singapore Orchard is home to a stellar collection of restaurants that offer exceptional culinary experiences.
MOZZARELLA BAR
At the heart of Osteria Mozza is the signature mozzarella bar, a place to start the meal with a selection of five different mozzarellas, burratas and fresh cheeses, and an impressive array of imported Italian cured meats. Silverton and her team source and curate simple Italian ingredients of exceptional quality to create the remarkable antipasti and salads which have cemented Osteria Mozza’s reputation.
HANDMADE PASTAS & WOOD-FIRED COOKING
Almost all of the 10 pastas on the menu at Osteria Mozza are handmade in-house daily. A unique new pasta on the menu and one created specially for Singapore is the Cencioni with Dungeness crab and saffron, inspired by Silverton experiencing the wide array of seafood in Singapore. Every part of the crab is used to create the dish from claws to meat and belly, used either as filling for the pasta or to create stock for pasta-making.
The Josper Oven is the precision workhorse of the kitchen, turning out perfectly cooked Grilled Calamari and Whole Branzino alla piastra. Farmers’ market quality vegetables are also roasted in the Josper to coax out their flavour and natural sweetness, like seasonal selections of Friarelli Peppers and Roasted Carrots.
Pizza at Osteria Mozza is the art of a master bread baker. After extensive testing and enhancement, the pizzas are a reflection of Silverton’s distinctive style and taste. A selection of nine pizzas are cooked in the restaurant’s custom Wood Stone wood-burning pizza oven and will be served exclusively at lunch. Silverton has chosen to cook with California almond wood for its fruitwood flavour, high heat, low smoke and balanced sweetness. As a result, Osteria Mozza’s pizzas boast a fine crisp base and ultra-high airy and puffy cornicione, with a deep sourdough flavour.
GELATO-CENTRIC DESSERTS
Osteria Mozza’s desserts sport a distinctly Italian-meets-American flair. While most of the menu is centred around the joy and art of gelato, where local tropical fruits like pineapple and rambutan feature prominently, Silverton classics like Butterscotch Budino and Rosemary Olive Oil Cakes are not to be missed.
BEVERAGE PROGRAMME
The beverage list includes an impressive selection of Italian wines, including organic and sustainable wines, as well as classic Italian cocktails like negroni, aperol spritz, espresso martinis.
Osteria Mozza will welcome guests for dinner from Tuesdays to Saturdays, from 5 PM to 10.30 PM. For more information on Osteria Mozza at Hilton Singapore Orchard, visit hiltonsingaporeorchard.com/OsteriaMozza.
