It was one of those evenings that made us pause and simply enjoy the moment. Nestled within the heritage charm of Fort Canning, L’Amo Bistrò del Mare feels like a Mediterranean holiday waiting to happen. Only two months old, this is the first of three restaurants under METT Singapore, with the other two set to open in 2026.

The restaurant’s design is calm and elegant, with soft coastal tones, white walls and warm wood accents. Inside, plush seats, gentle lighting and lush greenery create a cosy and inviting space. Step outside and the terrace opens to a picture-perfect view of palm trees wrapped in golden fairy lights.

The night we visited, the air was filled with live piano music and soft vocals that added a touch of romance to the experience. Service was impeccable, polished yet friendly.

Food was consistently outstanding. The bluefin tuna carpaccio with citrus and tomato was bright and refreshing. The grilled octopus, smoky and tender, paired beautifully with carrot & ginger purée. The frittura di mare was crisp and golden, the kind you could eat endlessly with a squeeze of lime.

The pastas impressed us. The tagliolini with truffles was silky and rich, while the Piedmont ravioli del plin in sage butter felt like autumn on a plate. The wagyu striploin was perfectly seared, pink, juicy and full of flavour, while the sea bream was simple yet flawless with its crisp skin and tender flesh.

Desserts sealed the evening with indulgence. The tiramisu, prepared tableside, was airy and rich, but the profiteroles stole the show. Filled with hazelnut mousse and finished with warm chocolate sauce, they were decadent, nostalgic and deeply satisfying, the kind of dessert you remember long after the meal ends.

The wine list is still a work in progress, focusing mainly on Italian labels with a strong showing from Piedmont for the reds.

It was a night of beautiful food, wine and conversation. L’Amo captures the heart of coastal Italian dining with class and warmth, a delightful beginning to an exciting culinary chapter at Fort Canning.
