# Italian Restaurants in Chinatown

Italian restaurants in Singapore run from casual pasta and pizza chains to trattorias and fine-dining kitchens. Pork, lard and wine are common in Italian cooking, so most are not halal, though some outlets hold MUIS certification. Sit-down Italian restaurants often add service charge and GST to menu prices.

## Key facts
- Listings: 21
- Matched to a government licence/register: 2
- Median years in business: 9

## How to choose
- Check whether menu prices are nett or "++" (service charge and GST added).
- For halal Italian food, verify the outlet on the MUIS directory; "no pork, no lard" is not certification.
- Ask whether pasta is made in-house and whether gluten-free pasta is available, if that matters to you.
- Smaller trattorias have few tables, so book ahead for weekend dinners.

## FAQs
### Is there halal Italian food in Singapore?
Yes, some Italian restaurants and pizza outlets are MUIS halal-certified, but most are not, as dishes often use pork or wine. Check the MUIS directory before you go.

### What does "++" mean on a Singapore menu?
"++" means a 10% service charge and 9% GST will be added. GST is charged on the service charge too, so the multiplier is 1.1 × 1.09 = 1.199 – a $50++ meal costs about $59.95. IRAS lets restaurants that levy a service charge show pre-GST prices, but they must state prominently that prices are subject to GST and service charge.

### What happened to the A, B, C, D hygiene grades in Singapore?
From 19 January 2026 SFA replaced the annual A–D hygiene grade with the SAFE framework. Outlets now get A (more than three years with no major lapse), B (one to three years), NEW (operating under a year) or C (a court conviction for a food-safety offence or a licence suspension under the demerit-points system). Scan the QR code on the SFA licence at the counter to see the current grade.
