After InterContinental Singapore hosted a culinary casting call to find a gastronomic talent to helm the hotel’s flagship restaurant, the launch of LUCE by Davide Giacomelli followed earlier this year. The global hunt saw more than 200,000 hopefuls, which eventuated in Davide beating almost 120 other chefs from around the globe. The prize is a namesake concept brought to life as InterContinental Singapore’s signature restaurant.
With more than 13 years of experience in the culinary industry, including at several Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe, Davide’s passion for Italian cuisine and adventures earned him LUCE by Davide Giacomelli. Luce means light in Italian, portraying the bright flavours found on the menu, as well as the warm and inviting ambience of the restaurant.
Offering a personal, immersive and authentic Italian dining experience, LUCE puts its focus on fresh, local ingredients for the seasonal à la carte menu that will be refreshed on a quarterly basis.
Davide will be supported by Restaurant Manager Artem Viglione, who has honed a deep-rooted penchant for the F&B industry with experiences throughout Italy, the United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore. In his outstanding resume are iO Italian Osteria Restaurant, LAVO Restaurant at Marina Bay Sands and Da Paolo Restaurant & Bar at Dempsey.
