Amò

Amò is a smart-casual Italian eatery and bar by established restaurateur-chef Beppe De Vito of the ilLido Group. Located at 33 Hong Kong Street, Amò continues the Group’s continuous mission to elevate the Italian dining scene in Singapore, by combining Italian traditions with contemporary innovation at a high perceived value.

Short for “amore”, the restaurant is named after the colloquial term of endearment used across Italy regardless of dialects and regions.

The menu comes in sharing and single portions to encourage interaction, ranging from an assortment of antipasti, salads and sides to pre-sliced pizzas and large mains.

To start we adored the Artisanal Burrata Cheese. This cheese sensation demonstrated that unforgettable dishes can sometimes be very simple. In this instance, a ball of unadulterated burrata simply paired with Datterini Tomatoes, Calabrian Oregano and finished with EVOO and Apple Balsamic. 

The delectable Mushrooms, Truffle, Mascarpone and Tuscan Pecorino pizza graced our presence next. The toppings were exquisite while the base was light and easy to digest - the result of patience, exceptional ingredients, and a fine-tuned knowledge of food chemistry. To thoroughly master the craft of pizzas, two of Amò’s chefs trained at the best pizza academy in Italy, while extensive research has been made in the understanding of slow dough fermentation, cooking methods and the sourcing of the most suitable types of flour over a period of two years. To put simply, Amò serves some of Singapore’s best pizza.

To follow, the Strozzapreti with Crab, Tomato and Mascarpone was again, excellent. Unsurprising given Amò is part of the restaurant group who is behind some of Singapore’s best pasta dishes. No expense has been spared when it comes to its dried pastas - expect true artisan pastas from Italy’s top pasta makers. 

To finish, the delightful tiramisú was the perfect conclusion to an excellent meal.

In true Italian hospitality, the relaxed bar is the perfect spot for casual drinks and aperitifs and boasts an all-Italian selection of wines, beers and spirit-forward cocktails. Wines from all parts of Italy are represented on the extensive, all-Italian wine list, while an impressive rotation of up to twenty wines are always offered by the glass using the Coravin system at any time. Meanwhile, the cocktail menu concentrates on refreshing coolers that are built on classic Italian tipples.
