Food Concepts Group, owner of Zafferano Italian Restaurant & Lounge and Z Bar, has just debuted their contemporary Italian grill restaurant, Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen.
Located at 37 Craig Road, the name - Griglia, is inspired by the summer outdoor grill known as the grigliata. Adored by Italians for generations, grigliata celebrates fresh seasonal produce over charcoal open flame and presenting it in light, flavoursome dishes while communing with family and friends over wine and long afternoons, amid the beautiful outdoors. Grigliata dishes are less intense and more Mediterranean in flavour, consisting of meats, seafood, fish, seasonal vegetables and fruits seasoned with herbs, salt and pepper, lavished with olive oil marinades and judicious squeezes of lemon.
Griglia recreates this magic with classic grigliata dishes cooked in a specially customised cast iron charcoal grill, using traditional and modern methods to make them even lighter and more refreshing. By offering a wide selection of food, and serving smaller sharing portions, diners are encouraged to order and taste many dishes in the style of the ‘bring-your-own’ grigliata.
Griglia, nestled on the ground level of a 3-storey conservation shophouse along Craig Road, is a 41-seater restaurant with an open kitchen. Inspired by the outdoor setting of a grigliata, its warm and cosy interior showcases wood, brick and metal, raw materials and elements closely linked to fire. The 1,600-square-feet restaurant is imbued with a rustic chic aesthetic for a contemporary and relaxed vibe. Awash in Italian hospitality, Griglia promises conviviality, bonding and memory-making over the fire.
