Since opening at The Rail Mall in 2016, Acqua e Farina has become a beloved destination for many who relish their authentic Italian flavours and warm hospitality. Acqua e Farina, which means "water and flour" in Italian, celebrates the diverse flavours of Italy through the expertise of its two chefs - Antonio Manetto from a small town near Naples (South of Italy) and Roberto Galbiati from Milan (North of Italy). After close to 10 years in the business, they are now ready to expand and share their unique blend of Northern and Southern Italian flavours as their second restaurant finds a home in the heart of Singapore’s bustling Keong Saik Road.

Experience the Best of Italy at Acqua e Farina

With over 55 years of combined Italian cooking experience between them, Antonio and Roberto harmoniously combine the juxtaposition of their regional specialties, offering diners a rare opportunity to savour a unique blend of Northern and Southern Italian flavours. Drawing on decades of distinct culinary knowledge from their respective regions, the duo proudly presents both the delicious Italian authenticity that they miss from their homeland and the new creations fired by their passionate yearnings.

An Intimate and Charming Italian Escape

Designed by Italian architect Samuele Martelli, he drew inspiration from various sources including the chef-owners who found kinship, despite being from entirely different parts of Italy, as well as the venue’s urban setting. For his design, Samuele opted for the commonalities seen in both the North and South of Italy such as the terracotta tiles, creamy pale yellow plaster walls and ceilings, and cheerful green shutters. Refining and seamlessly melding these inspirations with the space’s own quirky, historic architectural elements and natural wood furniture sourced both locally and from Italy, Samuele created a cosy and welcoming atmosphere in the restaurant.
