Bon appetito at Regent Hotel

Regent Hotel has partnered with the Embassy of Italy for Festa della Repubblica Italiana (Festival of the Republic). Expect the same world class hospitality heightened with Italian flair — including food, wine and music.

Begin with an aperitivo at Manhattan bar, where bartender Matteo Zed whips up cocktails featuring the iconic red bitter, Campari (from $25). Basilico's Basilissimo Dinner (from $98) showcases a range of dishes prepared by four Italian chefs, each hailing from a different Italian region.

Think aged acquerello risotto with Sardinian saffron, or a 32-yolk ravioli. Other activities include pizza-making workshops, afternoon tea treats, and visits to their exquisite cheese room.

Festa della Repubblica Italiana runs from May 30 to June 5, 2022, at the Regent Singapore located at 1 Cuscaden Road, Singapore 249715.
