For over 50 years, Pete’s Place at Grand Hyatt Singapore has stood as one of the city’s most cherished Italian dining destinations. First opening its doors in 1973, the trattoria-style restaurant has become synonymous with hearty Italian comfort food, served in a rustic setting that transports diners straight to the heart of Italy.
Now, under the leadership of Chef de Cuisine Salvatore Catania Giorgio, Pete’s Place is introducing a refreshed set lunch menu that blends timeless Italian traditions with contemporary touches designed for today’s diners.
The new set lunch offers both two-course and three-course options, starting with antipasti selections such as the vibrant minestrone, hearty soup of the day, or a light salad complemented by Italian cheese and cold cuts. For mains, diners may indulge in classic pasta dishes including spaghetti carbonara prepared with guanciale and pecorino cheese, or rigatoni bolognese slow-cooked in a rich beef ragout.
Seafood lovers can opt for linguine vongole with clams in a white wine and garlic sauce, or elevate the experience with the Conchiglie Cioppino, featuring half a Boston lobster, prawns, scallops, and mussels in a tomato base.
Pizza also plays a starring role, with highlights such as Pizza Margherita, Pizza Diavola with spicy salami, and the indulgent Pizza Formaggiosa layered with five Italian cheeses and finished with honey and black pepper.
For meat and fish lovers, the menu includes Pollo alla Milanese, a herb-crumbed chicken breast with roasted potatoes and aioli, and Branzino in Guazzetto, a barramundi fillet accompanied by clams in a caper and white wine sauce.
No Italian meal is complete without dessert, and Pete’s Place does not disappoint. The legendary Pete’s Tiramisu remains a house signature, crafted with mascarpone, espresso-soaked savoiardi biscuits, and a hint of white amaretto.
Guests may also enjoy vanilla panna cotta, fresh fruits, soft serve, or a rich slice of salame cioccolato. The set lunch menu includes Nordaq still or sparkling water, alongside one serving of Lavazza coffee or Monogram tea, adding a refined finish to the dining experience.
Chef Salvatore, a native of Piedmont in Northern Italy, brings a wealth of culinary expertise honed across Asia and the Middle East. His passion for regional Italian cuisine shines throughout the menu, which showcases not only beloved classics but also dishes that highlight his Piedmontese roots.
With a strong focus on sourcing quality ingredients—including olive oil personally selected from his hometown—Chef Salvatore ensures that authenticity is at the heart of every dish. His approach combines tradition with innovation, making Pete’s Place a must-visit for both long-time patrons and newcomers seeking a true taste of Italy in Singapore.
The set lunch is available daily from 12:00pm to 2:30pm. Reservations can be made online via TableCheck
