CAPASSO
Tucked along the bustling stretch of Telok Ayer, Capasso offers a refined and quietly confident take on Italian cuisine. Its 4-course executive lunch is a thoughtful showcase of flavour, comfort, and elegance—all at a compelling S$48++.
Pane della Casa
The meal opens with Capasso’s house-baked bread - a rustic touch that sets the tone.
Starter
We had the Zuppa del Giorno (soup of the day) which offers a comforting seasonal surprise. For those seeking something indulgent, the Carpaccio di Salmone Affumicato (supplement $12) brings smoky richness and textural intrigue, elevated by burrata cream and salmon ikura.
Pasta
The Tagliatelle alla Bolognese stands out for its wagyu beef richness and al dente texture, finished with a classic Parmigiano lift. The squid ink Tonnarelli ai Gamberi (supplement $15) with tiger prawns, chili, and garlic offers bold briny depth—definitely a standout for seafood lovers.
Main Course
Red Snapper Fillet: Clean, pan-seared and served with broccolini and bagna cauda—a Mediterranean nod. Diners seeking the full luxe experience can upgrade to the Filetto di Manzo (supplement $45)—a grass-fed tenderloin with marsala wine sauce and king oyster mushrooms, served alongside truffle mashed potato.
Dessert
The meal closes with a choice between Gelato del Giorno—perfect for a light finish—or a classic Tiramisu (supplement $5) with mascarpone, rum, and cocoa. A delightful sweet end that doesn’t overwhelm, just enough to leave you lingering for another bite.
Capasso’s executive lunch strikes a fine balance between approachability and polish. From the pacing of the courses to the optional upgrades, everything feels considered and relaxed. The dishes are generous, beautifully plated, and showcase the restaurant’s quiet confidence in letting quality ingredients speak for themselves.
Whether you’re hosting a business lunch, enjoying a midday treat, or planning a stylish catch-up in the CBD, Capasso delivers an experience that is both elevated and unpretentious—a rare and welcome find in the heart of the city.
