If you’re searching for authentic Italian food in Singapore, you’ll find no shortage of options — but finding the real taste of Italy is a different story. At Pasta Fresca, we bring more than just Italian dishes to the table. We offer a complete experience that celebrates tradition, freshness, and flavour.

As an authentic Italian restaurant in Singapore, Pasta Fresca has stayed true to its roots since 1988. From handmade pasta to original recipes and imported ingredients, our goal is simple: to bring the very best of Italy to Singapore. It’s this dedication that has made us a favourite among locals and visitors looking for quality Italian food in Singapore.

Our Roots: How Pasta Fresca Started

Pasta Fresca began with a simple idea — to share the joy of homemade Italian cooking with the people of Singapore. Our founder, recognising the lack of fresh, authentic pasta in the local market, started the restaurant with a strong commitment to quality and tradition.

The name “Pasta Fresca” means “fresh pasta” in Italian  and it reflects exactly what we do. From day one, we’ve prepared our pasta by hand every day, using time-honoured methods passed down through generations.

Staying True to Italian Traditions

At Pasta Fresca, we don’t take shortcuts. Our recipes come from different regions of Italy, such as Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, and Naples. These are the same recipes Italian families have enjoyed for decades and we are proud to continue the tradition.

Our chefs are trained in traditional Italian cooking techniques. From slow-simmered sauces to hand-shaped pasta, each dish is made with care and respect for its origins. Some popular favourites include:

The Secret: Fresh and Authentic Ingredients

To cook authentic Italian food, you need authentic Italian ingredients. That’s why many of our core ingredients come straight from Italy including extra virgin olive oil, cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, San Marzano tomatoes, and herbs like basil and oregano.

But freshness doesn’t stop there. Every day, our chefs prepare fresh pasta by hand, using high-quality flour and eggs. This gives the pasta a soft texture and richer taste, making it the perfect base for any sauce.

We also combine imported ingredients with fresh local produce, carefully selected from trusted suppliers in Singapore, to ensure everything on your plate is of the highest standard.

Connecting with the Community

We believe in supporting the community that supports us. Over the years, Pasta Fresca has partnered with local events, Italian cultural groups, and schools to promote appreciation for Italian cuisine and culture.

We also organise pasta-making workshops and cooking classes, giving customers the chance to learn the craft behind their favourite dishes. It’s a great way to bring people together and share our love for Italian cooking.
