Dolce Vita Mandarin Oriental Singapore

Dolce Vita is an Italian restaurant located at the poolside of the Mandarin Oriental Singapore with a view of Marina Bay Sands and the skyline. Even on weekends the restaurant is rarely booked out, but if you want a more quiet and out of the way table, it might be a good idea to call beforehand. If the weather allows for it, or in the evenings, sitting outside next to the pool is very chilled, especially as the pool itself is not frequented a lot.
While you might want to enjoy the chilled atmosphere outdoors, the indoors area of Dolce Vita is more dignified, with stone floors and wall, a big bar and a cozy/stylish Italian air. The staff is impeccably professional (even though sometimes it might be a little hard to get their attention) and very friendly and accommodating. On our first visit, we were greeted by Jan Immoff, the recently appointed restaurant manager of Dolce Vita. It’s always a nice touch if management takes 5 minutes to say hello at your table, no matter where you go.
The food at Dolce Vita is not cheap, but it’s among the more decent Italian restaurants you will find in Singapore. Some of Dolce Vita’s signature dishes include a wide selection of yummy thin-crust pizzas, penne with osso bucco ragout and beef tenderloin with foie gras. A very nice starter or palate cleanser in between courses is their oven-fresh bread with olives. If you’re wine connoisseur, you will appreciate the wide selection on offer.

At times, Dolce Vita invites guest cooks that stay for a week or so (when we were there two cooks from Norway were visiting and we were invited to try some complimentary smoked salmon). During these times, guests have the opportunity to sample special menus/dishes at very reasonable prices.
