NUVO Restaurant and Lounge - Contemporary Italian cuisine infused with Japanese elements and cooking techniques.
With over 16 years of experience, Chef Mark Richards carefully curated a tantalising menu of innovative dishes that showcase the best of Italian and Japanese ingredients in a reunion.
The entire restaurant has an unique circular shape, with the elements of wood giving it a touch of nature, boasting a simple yet elegant atmosphere.
Upon entering you will see Roman-inspired interior design, as seen in the Roman influences painted on the walls.
The 4,000 square feet restaurant holds a dining room, lounge and outdoor terrace.
The outdoor terrace makes alfresco dining a breeze.
At NUVO, the terrace and the lounge are the best options for catching the Singapore F1 Grand Prix as you can get one of the better views of the track.
The open kitchen of NUVO, where you can catch the drama and excitement of the chef cooking.
Communal dining plays a big part and NUVO is a perfect place to gather both friends and family for leisurely dining.
Behind the door that separates the dining room from the Lounge is certainly a hidden gem.
Shaking things up in the Lounge, is Head Bartender Bani whom recently started a new cocktail programme serving artisanal cocktails to the restaurant.
Bani has concocted 4 unique and exclusive cocktails in the NUVO Lounge. Here's one of the signature cocktails he is preparing for the guests.
NUVO's cocktails are pocket friendly (priced between $18 to $25)
DISHES I LOVED
Smoked Uni Carbonara, made from Mugi Cha smoked Uni and cooked with Applewood smoked bacon and crayfish in a lush velvety cream sauce. Served with an onsen egg nestled in the centre and dusted with truffle soil.
Angus Osso Buco Stew, a full flavoured stew made from roasted bone marrow. The dish consists of Hijiki and Porcini mushrooms that oven-roasted with thyme and rosemary, then combined with a reduction of veal jus, parmigiano-reggiano and toasted breadcrumbs. Served with baked Tsukiji oyster fritters, mushrooms and pickled crumble.
Japones Australian Lamb Shank, a hearty main prepared sous vide, with limoncello, yuzu salt and vine-ripened tomatoes. Topped with crispy kale, on a bed of organic pasta from Sicily known as fregola sarda.
Fuji Apple and Parmigiano-Reggiano Torta, fresh Fuji apples torta using a secret family recipe with an Italian twist. Baked with Parmesan, and served with honey and wild wig ice cream.
