Lovers of Italian food are delighted with Regent Singapore, A Four Seasons Hotel, as it undertakes a year-long culinary adventure in 2018 at Basilico, its flagship Italian restaurant. The stunning Basilissimo, or Best Of Basilico, dinner experience includes an appetiser and dessert buffet alongside a specially selected main course selected based on Italy’s latitudinal parallels.
The first quarter of 2018 presented dishes from Sicily, Sardinia and Calabria, located between the 36th to 40th parallels. Meanwhile, the second quarter, from 9th April to 3rd July, is focusing on the 40th to 42nd parallels, namely Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Molise, Lazio and Abruzzo with dish highlights including Cavatelli pasta with black mussels, tiger prawns, sea urchin and asparagus sautéed with sweet garlic and anchovies (Basilicata) and 12-hour braised boneless wagyu beef ribs cooked in light tomato and Aglianico wine sauce with fava bean purée and heirloom carrots (Molise).
To the delight of Singapore’s gourmands, Executive Chef Angelo Ciccone and Basilico Head Chef Luca Beccalli have also introduced a cheese room with highlights rotating quarterly. While the first quarter featured gorgonzola infusions, the second quarter is spotlighting ricotta, with house-made specialities such as sea-salt oven-baked ricotta with rosemary, sweet Amalfi lemon ricotta, Basilico-style ricotta with black truffle and ricotta forte (60-day fermented spicy ricotta spread).
