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.

Basilico’s Basilissimo Dinner (from S$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 30 May to 5 June 2022, at the Regent Singapore located at 1 Cuscaden Road, Singapore 249715.
