Tucked into UE Square near Fort Canning, Caffe Italia is Singapore’s inventive spin on Italian dining—boasting the world’s first conveyor-belt tapas concept serving Italian-style small plates in a lively, bar-like setting. Founded by Sicilian-born hospitality veteran Angelo Buglio, the restaurant blends traditional flavors with playful innovation, offering a color-coded tapas belt (red plates ~S$10.50++, grey ~S$11.50++, blue ~S$13.50++) alongside a full à la carte menu of pizzas, pastas, and desserts like Caviar Angel Hair pasta and Cannoli Cioccolato . The interior—with Mediterranean-themed décor, sleek tiles, and warm lighting—balances cozy nostalgia with modern flair, making it ideal for casual drinks, tapas grazing, or a full Italian meal with friends. In this blog post, we’ll explore Caffe Italia menu, pricing, current promotions, best-selling items, outlet locations, operating hours, and share our honest review.
I recently checked out Caffe Italia at UE Square, and what initially drew me in was its playful twist on Italian dining—the conveyor belt loaded with miniature Italian tapas. It’s a fun, casual concept that makes for a lively start to the evening. I sampled small bites like Parma ham with taralli and pecorino with fig jam, each dish thoughtfully paired and priced clearly with its plate color, keeping the experience both light and interactive. The setting—modern, inviting, and reminiscent of a stylish bar—made it a great spot for casual drinks or a fun date night vibe (see user praise for its panoramic atmosphere and pet-friendly counter service).
But the real standouts here were the full-sized dishes. The Caviar Angel Hair Pasta was unexpectedly sublime—simple, buttery, with just the right brine from premium imports—and showed real confidence from the kitchen. The house-made Napoli-style pizza, with its fluffy crust, perfectly blistered edges, and generous meatball topping, was another highlight (though I did wish for a stronger tomato sauce punch) . A social media review also noted the Cannoli Cioccolato, rich yet balanced, as a sweet finale that felt indulgent without overdoing it. That said, a few dishes—like the calamari and crème brûlée—weren’t as strong. The calamari missed a lively seasoning punch and lacked the promised lemon squeeze, while the crème brûlée’s sugar crust didn’t crack as expected—disappointing given the expectations set by its name.
Friendly, attentive service and flexibility—like customizing a half-cheese, half-no-cheese pizza—made the evening feel personal and comfortable. While the tapas work best as nibbles alongside drinks, the main courses—pizza and pasta—are what truly shine and justify a full meal. If you’re after a memorable Italian dining experience with a creative twist and room to build your own culinary journey, Caffe Italia is well worth the visit—just be sure to prioritize the mains over the gimmicks.
