Sophia St. Regis Singapore Opens: Redefining Italian Dining

The St. Regis Singapore has unveiled its latest culinary destination — Sophia, a modern Italian restaurant that blends timeless hospitality with a fresh, elegant flair. Helmed by Chef de Cuisine Angelo Sergio, a proud son of Puglia, Sophia brings together 11 regional expressions of Italy onto one carefully curated menu. Designed as a social beacon in the heart of the city, Sophia celebrates the convivial spirit of Italian culture through dishes meant to be shared, crafted with honest ingredients and modern finesse. From refined antipasti to artisanal pastas and showstopping mains, Sophia is an invitation to experience Italy, one plate at a time.

A Journey Through Italy’s Heartlands

The menu begins with bold, layered appetisers like the Polpo Grigliato — smoky grilled octopus served over fava beans and sweet Tropea onions — and the exquisite Carpaccio di Gamberi, which sees buttery Mazara red prawns brightened with raspberry and lemon gel. These small plates set the tone for the culinary odyssey ahead.

Pasta takes centre stage with standouts like Tagliatelle Atavi e Porcini, a hickory-smoked flavour-infused pasta imported from Italy, coated in earthy porcini and veal jus. For a comforting favourite, the Pappardelle al Ragù simmers hand-shredded Wagyu beef into a fork-tender delight.

Mains continue the crescendo with the impressive Bistecca alla Fiorentina — a 1kg Angus T-bone grilled and served with pepperberry sea salt — and Baccalà in Umido, a refined cod stew with silky white onion sauce and artichokes.

Tableside Rituals & Sweet Finales

Sophia’s signature charm lies in its attention to experience. Try the Cannoncini alla Crema or Salame di Cioccolato prepared tableside, or enjoy timeless dolci like Tiramisu and Baba Napoletano, soaked in limoncello syrup.

For value-seekers and gourmands alike, Sophia offers two- and three-course set lunch menus from Mondays to Saturdays at S$42++ and S$58++ respectively — making refined Italian cuisine surprisingly accessible in the Orchard Road district.

Brunch, Bubbles and Gelato

On Sundays, Sophia transforms into a lively, music-filled brunch destination. Guests are welcomed with Aperol Spritz or Mimosas, then treated to a mozzarella bar, live pasta stations, artisanal cheeses, and a roaming gelato cart — with signature tiramisu served pass-around style. At S$198++, the brunch includes free-flow R de Ruinart champagne and house wines.

Cocktails & Curated Wines

Sophia’s drinks menu is as expressive as its food. Sip on three signature cocktails — Amalfi Breeze, Bella Rossa, and Negroni Bianco — each crafted with Malfy Gin from the Amalfi Coast. A thoughtful wine list features 70 labels from across Italy, including organic selections and volcanic Sicilian reds, while classic digestifs like Grappa and Limoncello round off the experience.

Sophia is open for lunch (12:00 PM – 2:30 PM, Mon–Sat), dinner (6:30 PM – 10:30 PM, daily), and Sunday Brunch (12:30 PM – 3:00 PM). Reservations can be made at www.sophia.com.sg.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply savouring everyday indulgence, Sophia promises more than just a meal — it delivers a modern expression of Italian soul at Singapore’s most luxurious address.
