Since opening in 2012, Zafferano – Italian for ‘saffron’ – has established itself as a showpiece of Italian cuisine and a destination restaurant highly sought after for events ranging from corporate lunches to romantic dinners, weddings to champagne brunches.
And now, to mark 10 years of hosting joyous occasions and building beautiful relationships, a fresh concept is unveiled with new name and interiors – resulting in a rejuvenating experience. Welcoming Altro Zafferano – ‘the other Zafferano’.
In this new chapter of the journey, guests will be immersed in contemporary Italian cuisine interpreted through the South Italian lens of Executive Chef Andrea De Paola – in gastronomy shaped by personal history and a distinct ‘sense of place’.
Raised in Naples, the curious 7-year-old Andrea would spend time in the kitchen helping his maternal grandmother cook traditional dishes for the family. Today, Chef Andrea brings these memories with him to Altro Zafferano, celebrating the region he calls home with the produce of its lands and seas, in time-honoured Italian dishes prepared with modern techniques and perspectives.
The a la carte menu features contemporary renditions of South Italian classics. The experience menu ($148++ per person) allows guests to curate a 4-course tasting exploration of a la carte dishes. A 3-course weekday set lunch ($78++ per person) presents a mid-day Italian respite; and at the alfresco Terrace Lounge, light snacks (from $10++) are offered alongside a beverage menu for pre- or post-meal social interactions.
Highlights of the new interiors include a 12m-long open kitchen that parallels the length of the entryway – a distinctive design that places the kitchen at the forefront of the restaurant, like no other. As guests walk to the dining table, they are immersed in the vibrant dynamics of the kitchen and aromas of dishes that are finished at the pass by Chef Andrea stationed along the walkway; a multi-sensorial preview of the gastronomic wonders to come.
In addition to an expansive main dining area and an intimate private dining room with a private entrance, Altro Zafferano features a new private dining enclave that allows flexible configuration into one or two rooms. Stepping out onto the terrace brings guests to the outdoor lounge and bar, designed in a modern style with light, earthy tones and lush greenery evoking a dreamy patio overlooking the seas around southern Italy.
The next chapter has begun, and Altro Zafferano forges a new path forward in offering a rejuvenated Italian dining experience.
