(Singapore, September 2026) Revealing a new chapter in its brand of elevated yet congenial Cal-Italian dining, acclaimed Los Angeles-based chef, restaurateur and cookbook author, Nancy Silverton, (pictured) of one-MICHELIN-starred Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles opens her only Asian flagship restaurant, Osteria Mozza, in its new home in ION Orchard. 

If you frequented the restaurant in its previous location at Hilton Orchard, you will be happy to know that Osteria Mozza is bringing to its fans more of its particular brand of home-style, traditional Italian cooking laced with LA-sophistication.

Located on the third floor of ION Orchard, the contemporary welcoming interior beckons with warm wood tones and comfortable leather upholstered booths, encouraging you to linger over lunch with delectable desserts or just one more post-dinner drink to finish off a delicious dinner.

With its relaunch, the restaurant has enhanced its menu offerings with the introduction of the Pizza alla Pala, a Roman-style pizza inspired by Rome's vibrant street food scene. Baked in a long, paddle-shaped form (pala meaning "paddle" in Italian), the light, airy and crisp crust is made daily from fresh dough and is intended for sharing along with hearty mains or as a light meal on its own.

For the Pizza alla Pala selection, you’ll see new takes on familiar flavours as well as new flavour concepts. For example, the spicy, savoury flavours of the ever-popular fennel sausage orecchiette pasta, is reprised in the menu as a Fennel Sausage pizza flavour along with new taste offerings like Spicy Tomato (a medley of tomato passata, dried chilli flakes and Sicilian oregano), as well as crowd-favourite, Salame with tomato, mozzarella and Fresno chillies, and BLT with bacon, pancetta, tomato confit, rocket, onion cream and aioli. 

To cater to shoppers or lunchtime office crowds, the restaurant has also launched the Piadina (from $20) reimagining one of Italy's most beloved street foods through Nancy Silverton's Cal-Italian lens. 

Available exclusively at lunch, the piadina is made with freshly prepared Italian flatbread baked in-house daily using the Osteria Mozza’s signature pizza dough. In essence, it is a lighter version of the classic panini, filled with vibrant fresh ingredients ranging from fillings as simple as Nancy's Chopped Salad with provolone, pepperoncini and salami, Tuna with hard-cooked egg, capers and anchovy, to an elegant Chicken Milanese with caper aioli and tricolore salad, or a beautifully prepared steak with caramelised onions and fresh greens.

At the heart of any restaurant are the people that run it. And returning full circle in her culinary journey is Head Chef Ammie Khoo, who returns to helm Osteria Mozza after honing her craft for over seven years with the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group.

Having first joined the Mozza family at Pizzeria Mozza Singapore in Marina Bay Sands previously, she definitely brings home a deep understanding and appreciation for the ingredient-led Italian cooking and generous hospitality that Osteria Mozza and Silverton are known for. 

Popular favourites includes Mozzarella di Bufala & Condimenti with basil pesto, salsa romesco, black olive tapenade & caperberry relish, Nancy's Caesar egg with leek, anchovy crostini, Salame with Tomato Pizza alla Palla, Fennel Sausage panna, mozzarella, red onion, scallion Pizza alla Palla and Squid Ink Casarecce where the handmade fresh pasta is cooked to perfection and coated with an unctuous, inky sauce and goujons of squid. 

As before, the cocktails here are beautifully crafted and the umami spin on desserts including the popular BTS - Black Truffle Sundae with brown butter, buttered breadcrumbs and a wonderfully decadent Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie buried under a mound of vanilla soft serve and drenched in hot fudge sauce, take this restaurant definitely a notch above the ordinary. 

To be sure, a restaurant worth checking out, if the often almost sold out lunch and dinner bookings are anything to go by! Takeaways, delivery and events private partial or full buyouts are available.
