Was @ Marina Bay Sands again yesterday! :)
Love that place.. :)
Visited both MOZZA restaurants while I was there.. :)
Here's the link to an introduction to the restaurants & the chef profile:
Mario Batali's Pizzeria and Osteria Mozza
Lo and behold, shots of Nancy Silverton,
Mario Batali
and Joe Bastianich's
Pizzeria and Osteria Mozza brought across seas as anticipated. Within Pizzeria Mozza Singapore, not a huge departure at all from the LA original, notice a similar pizza bar, pizza ovens, what appears to be the same hanging lights, even the chairs look identical. Likewise for the Osteria, look at that same white marble countertop, black backless stools, and again, those duplicate hanging lights.
These two eateries will be having their soft launch this coming Monday in the Marina Bay Sands hotel! :)
Both OSTERIA MOZZA and PIZZERIA MOZZA will be almost exactly as they are in California, with the delicious addition of local seafood and vegetables.
PIZZERIA MOZZA is a bustling, urban, burst of flavor and color. The wine bar provides a vibrant venue for sampling a selection of wines, there will be ample offerings of salumi and pizza. An intimate private dining room is also available for group events and parties.
In the heart of OSTERIA MOZZA rests a free standing mozzarella bar, where a wide array of fresh items from mozzarella, burrata, bocconcini and stracciatella are prepared. The full liquor bar is backed by a stunning millwork feature and spills onto white marble bar tops where guests can gather to enjoy items from the mozzarella bar. The remainder of the menu features salumi, pasta, seafood and meat dishes.
I even had the privilege to meet Nancy Silverton
& Joe Bastianich
in person while I was there! :)
Awesome! :)
