Waterfall Ristorante Italiano

Exceptional family dinner at this gem! Hidden in Shangri-La’s lush gardens, the colonial Italian vibe—wooden shutters, spice shelves, torch gingers, and private pod seating—felt intimate and magical for our little one. Warm lighting and pool views made it perfect for a relaxed evening. Food was spot-on authentic Southern Italian. Started with silky Velutata di Zucca e Cappesante (pumpkin soup with roasted scallops, S$22)—creamy sweetness balanced by briny bites. Tartara di Tonno Pinna Gialla (yellowfin tuna tartare, S$32) melted in the mouth: sashimi-grade tuna, creamy avocado, popping salmon roe, ginger, and mango coulis. Carpaccio di Manzo (beef tenderloin, S$38) was elegantly thin over rocket with parmesan and balsamic. Pastas shone: Spaghetti alle Vongole (S$33) had al dente strands, plump clams in light white wine-garlic sauce. The star? Spaghetti alla Chitarra con Aragosta (squid ink lobster pasta, S$68)—jet-black noodles with sweet Boston lobster chunks and cherry tomatoes. 250g Bistecca alla Griglia (Angus ribeye, S$68) grilled juicy with crisp fries and sundried tomatoes. Desserts delighted: Silky Panna Cotta Coulis al Mango (S$16) with tangy mango drizzle and strawberries; classic Tiramisù (S$16) layered perfectly. Attentive service under Chef Simone Loisi matched the quality—fresh ingredients, generous portions. 5/5 stars. Ideal for families or dates in Orchard. Worth every SGD (plus 10% service/taxes). We’ll return!

We really enjoyed both the food and the ambience at Waterfall. The porchetta was a standout — perfectly crunchy skin with tender, juicy meat inside. The pasta was cooked beautifully and full of flavour, and the pizza was tasty with a great balance of toppings and crust. We ended the meal with their gelato, which was top-notch and a perfect finish. The service was also excellent — the attendants were attentive and helpful, and our server knew the menu well and suggested dishes that suited our preferences perfectly. Overall, a very satisfying dining experience and a lovely place for a relaxed Italian meal.

Overall, a great evening at waterfall. Food was good and the service was impeccable! We had an outstanding staff, Suren who deserves commendation because of his professionalism. He was friendly, attentive and an absolute gem! He made our night so wonderful.

Beautiful decor, great Italian food and good service. The portion of the pasta dish was huge and they even have a special menu to celebrate Mother’s Day. There was outdoor seating which faces the hotel’s swimming pool. Will certainly be back to try the pizza.

A wonderful dining experience! The food is incredibly fresh and authentic. I especially loved the pizza—the crust and toppings were perfect. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a relaxed dinner. Highly recommend!
