To celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary early this January, my husband and I chose a Restaurant that we had been meaning to check out for the longest time. I still have a long list of restaurants in Singapore left to check off my bucket list so I hope to make good headway on that this year.
Situated in a green enclave, a stone’s throw from Orchard Road, Regent Singapore is a five star serene urban oasis balancing classic style with modern comfort. Housed within Regent is all-day dining restaurant Basilico serving seasonal Italian cuisine.
Helmed by Rome-born and bred Head Chef Valerio Pierantonelli, the award-winning Basilico is widely considered one of Singapore's best Italian restaurants. The menu at Basilico features authentic Italian elements such as a rotisserie, antipasti, mains and pasta, comforting wood-fired pizzas, sumptuous desserts and a walk-in cheese cellar. There are both buffet and a la carte dining options.

Several aspects of the space caught our eye - the stunning chandelier, tasteful furniture, the skylight, the bubble glass elevators, a suspended art piece, the water feature and the extensive indoor flowers and plants which made the space appear lively and calming.

Basilico is located at the second floor of Regent Hotel and can be accessed by stairs or elevator. It has a modern and sophisticated appearance. There are two levels, with an upper open deck/terrace.
