For three good years, Bonta has been regaling diners with its spread
of exemplary Northern Italian cuisine. From decadent cheeses to
fresh-out-of-the-ocean seafood, every creation by Bergamo-native,
executive chef Luca Pezzera brims with culinary ingenuity. To celebrate
three successful years in Singapore, Bonta unveiled a new interior look
complemented by sumptuous additions to the menu. Diners can now lounge
with pre-dinner cocktails at Bonta’s swanky bar area. The bar affords a
cosy space for diners to mingle and chat over aperitifs and proseccos.
Revamped in June, Bonta’s masculine-styled interiors peppered with
striking neon cove lighting provide the perfect backdrop for an
indulgent Italian meal. The restaurant seats up to 126 persons,
including 34 persons at the alfresco area. Added to its swish surrounds
is a second private dining room on the mezzanine level.
Pezzera
has also ensured that diners get to taste 10 of the finest dishes from
Italy. From Sardinia to Veneto, each dish is conjured to reflect the
mood of its place of origin. Must-tries include Sardinian black mussels
in spicy tomato sauce and garlic croutons as well as pappardelle with
wild boar ragout and shaved Parmesan cheese. Every spoonful of this
traditional Tuscan dish is unctuous and delicious. The homemade black
ink tagliolini with jumbo crabmeat in spicy basil tomato sauce is a
classic dish hailing from Veneto. Every mouthful rewards you with divine
textures and flavours. For a catch that satisfies, zero in on the
seabream fillet with cartoccio. Here, the fish is wrapped in a paper bag
filled with rich flavours from mussels, clams, tomato capers and basil.
Pezzera’s hometown in Lombardy, Italy, even gets undivided attention.
The oven-roasted rabbit leg wrapped with Parma ham and served with
grilled polenta in Ligurian olive oil flaunts the chef’s culinary
finesse. Finally, end the meal with one of these three new desserts:
blackcurrant cheesecake served with sour cream sauce; crispy apple
crumble with pistachio ice cream and cinnamon emulsion; or double
espresso crème brûlée. 207 River Valley Road, #01-61 UE Square River
