After more than two years and starting a wildly popular casual concept and hawker pop-up in between, Italian chef Mirko Febbrile has returned to his fine-dining roots with Somma, a modern Italian fine-dining restaurant and pasta bar.
The restaurant opened on September 25 in the hip lifestyle enclave, New Bahru, on Kim Yam Road. The former chef de cuisine of the now-defunct oneMichelin-starred restaurant Braci hopes to present a fresh take on Italy’s culinary heritage, underpinned by sustainability and creative flair, through two concepts under one roof.
Somma, which means “sum” in Italian, aptly sums up what the fun-loving Puglia-born chef hopes to achieve with Italian cuisine. His much-anticipated restaurant houses two concepts across two sprawling levels in the former Nan Chiau Girls’ High School library.
A 36-seater fine-dining restaurant sits on the upper level, while diners can enjoy a more laidback atmosphere at Somma’s Pasta Bar, digging into pasta in between sips of cocktails. There is also a cooking research lab and cooking school, where pasta-making, fermentation, and pastry classes are in the pipeline.
