ABBEY: During our recent staycation at Mercure ICON, we decided to have dinner at da Michele, a popular Italian restaurant that’s well-loved for its authentic flavors. The place was buzzing with diners when we arrived, and we happily joined the queue, knowing it must be worth the wait.
We were seated al fresco, which gave us a front-row view of the hotel’s bustling driveway. Perfect for some casual people-watching as we enjoyed our meal.
We had Burrata & Capocollo Pizza, a thin-crust delight topped with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, savory ham, and crowned with a generous ball of creamy burrata in the center. While it was delicious on its own, drizzling some chili oil over it took the flavors to an entirely new level; spicy, salty, slightly sweet, with that perfect smoky note from the crust. Absolutely wow-worthy!
Next was the Orecchiette All’Aragosta Alla Positanese pasta. The texture was spot-on, chewy and al dente, paired beautifully with a rich tomato sauce and hearty chunks of Italian sausage. Each bite was comforting yet full of bold Italian flavors. All of these good food along with a refreshing mojito.
da Michele is a great choice for a romantic dinner spot in Singapore. The cozy ambiance, authentic Italian dishes, and lively atmosphere make it ideal for couples. It would be even better if they had live music to complete the vibe!

WILL: Have you ever taken a bite of food and, for a split second, felt teleported? That’s exactly what happened to me at L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele Singapore—one forkful of pasta and my brain whispered, “Girl… are we in Italy right now?”
Here’s the funny thing—I had no idea this place is world-famous, with its Naples branch even featured in the movie Eat Pray Love. To me, it was just a spot my friend recommended, conveniently located at the ground floor of Mercure ICON Singapore where we had our staycation.
Fast-forward to that afternoon: no reservation, just pure luck. The walk-in queue was short, and in 10 minutes, we were seated.
So… how’s the pizza and pasta?
You can really taste that everything is freshly made from scratch—yes, even the pasta. The flavors felt like we were transported to Italy. Yayyy! Finally! Haha!
Do I recommend it? For the taste—absolutely yes. But will it replace your favorite less-than-$10 pizza joint? Maybe not. Still, it’s worth trying at least, especially if you’re a foodie or an Eat Pray Love fan.
