New month, new food! This month, Singapore’s Italian dining scene expands once again with the addition of Sospiri at Central Boulevard.

Located at the newly constructed IOI Central Boulevard Towers, the restaurant offers a range of Southern Italian dishes. After several successful ventures in Singapore, the renowned restaurateur and founder of ilLido Group, Beppe De Vito decided to establish Sospiri, a name inspired by his childhood favourite dessert from Puglia.

The cosy and chic dining area features 128 seats, with a private dining room that accommodates up to 14 guests for intimate gatherings. The rooftop bar, on the other hand, houses 60 seats where guests can enjoy dining and drinking in a relaxed atmosphere.
