Located at the apex of one of Singapore’s prestigious office towers, Zafferano entices with its combination of contemporary authentic Italian cuisine, stylish and sophisticated decor, and open-air rooftop terrace with stunning views. Since opening in 2012, Zafferano has attracted both a solid corporate clientele with its business lunches and private dining rooms, plus a diverse evening clientele appreciative of an elegant Italian dining experience. Occupying an expansive space on the 43rd floor of the Ocean Financial Centre, the design deftly combines the contemporary elegance of the main restaurant dining room and lounge, with a casual ambience out on the glass-encased rooftop terrace that wraps around three sides of the restaurant. Zafferano serves lunch and dinner in the restaurant dining rooms Monday to Friday, with dinner only on Saturdays. On the Terrace, guests can enjoy afternoon and evening drinks whilst taking in the spectacular panoramic views, with live DJs on featured nights adding an up-tempo, vibrant atmosphere.
