From creamy classics to bold, spicy dishes, the city offers some of the best pasta in Singapore across a range of popular restaurants. If you’re a pasta lover or just curious to try something new, these five pasta styles are sure to impress.
When it comes to classic Italian pasta, carbonara remains a firm favourite. Typically made with eggs, cheese, bacon, and black pepper, it is a simple yet rich dish. The creamy texture and savoury notes offer the perfect mix of comfort and flavour.
Where to try it: At Pasta Fresca Da Salvatore, our carbonara features a velvety blend of cream and egg yolk by default and crafted to suit the rich, creamy taste many diners enjoy. For purists, the classic Roman-style (without cream) is also available on request. Served with your choice of freshly made pasta, it is a customisable dish that balances comfort with tradition.
Seafood lovers will enjoy seafood linguine – a light yet satisfying pasta dish. This recipe typically includes prawns, mussels, clams, and squid, all tossed in a garlic and white wine or tomato-based sauce. It’s a true taste of the sea on your plate.
Where to try it: Rosso Vino, located along the Singapore River, offers a lovely atmosphere and serves a delicious seafood linguine that’s both generous in portion and rich in flavour.
If you enjoy earthy, luxurious flavours, truffle mushroom fettuccine is a must-try. This dish blends fresh mushrooms and aromatic truffle oil or cream, creating a dish that feels indulgent and comforting at the same time.
Where to try it: Pasta Bar is a cosy spot known for its handcrafted pasta and seasonal menus. Their truffle mushroom fettuccine is a favourite among regulars for good reason.
For those who enjoy a bit of spice, penne all’arrabbiata is the perfect choice. Made with a fiery tomato and garlic sauce, this dish packs a punch without being overwhelming. It’s simple, bold, and always satisfying.
