Sophia,
A New Italian
Restaurant
A fresh chapter begins at The St. Regis Singapore with Sophia, an Italian-inspired restaurant that takes over the space once home to The Astor Grill. Blending elegance with inviting warmth, Sophia brings a new breath of Italian dining to the hotel’s culinary landscape.
Leading the kitchen is Chef de Cuisine Angela Sergio from Puglia, whose rich experience across Italy’s diverse regions shines through in the menu. Influenced by 11 regions of Italy, his creations celebrate traditional recipes reimagined with modern flair for a perfect harmony of authenticity and artistry.
Chef Angelo's journey began at just thirteen, in a small Italian pizzeria where he spent long hours slicing mozzarella. He went on to helm kitchens in Osaka and Shanghai before returning to Italy for an illustrious collaboration with Ferrari, further refining his skill set and creative perspective. This mastery of the grill later found him a home at The Astor Grill in The St. Regis Singapore, where he showcased his artistry in fire and flavour, and this philosophy will be carried forward to Sophia through the lens of Italian warmth and refinement.
The restaurant offers freshly baked focaccia, adorned with toppings such as cherry tomatoes, bresaola, goat cheese, honey, or smoked tuna. Seafood lovers can enjoy the smoky grilled octopus with fava beans and mint, or the delicate red Mazara prawn carpaccio lifted with raspberry and lemon gel.
Sophia’s signature focaccia is a showcase of the region’s most exceptional produce, while the Carpaccio di Gamberi serves buttery slivers of Mazara red prawn meet raspberry and lemon gel, celery, plankton oil and sea salt in a meticulously orchestrated bite.
For mains, the Hickory-smoked porcini tagliatelle with veal jus is an exclusive house specialty, while the pappardelle ragu offers comforting familiarity. And to finish, classic desserts like cannoncini alla crema and salame di cioccolato are prepared tableside, adding a touch of theatre for a memorable experience.
The Bistecca alla Fiorentina is an extraordinary 1kg Angus beef T-bone, grilled and finished with pepper berry sea salt and cannellini beans in red wine veal jus. To end your meal on a sweet note, the limoncello-infused Babà Napoletano, paired with strawberry compote, is an original, zesty take on a traditional treat.
With its sunlit interiors, warm hospitality, and Italian fare, Sophia is poised to become a beloved new gathering place for Italian culinary lovers and celebrations at The St. Regis Singapore.
