Introducing Dopo Teatro, a brand-new Italian restaurant nestled in Esplanade! Meaning “after theatre”, Dopo Teatro celebrates the confluence of Italian and Japanese culinary influences. Here, you can discover a medley of Italian antipasti, salads, pasta, and hand-stretched pizzas, made with premium Japanese ingredients.
An ideal address for sedate lunches, business meetings, and intimate get-togethers, the 86-seater restaurant boasts a cozy interior that is characterized by marbled walls and warm hanging lights. Located along the waterfront, it is also complemented with a breezy alfresco dining area where you can soak in the picturesque city night views.
A spellbinding gourmet session awaits you at Dopo Teatro. To start, you cannot go wrong with the Japan Sakoshi Bay Oysters (S$34 half dozen, $60 dozen). Plump and silky, each oyster is topped with yuzu and cucumber granita, seaweed caviar, and cured lardo that will effectively kickstart your palate engines. The Fisherman’s Catch (S$20) platter is filled with calamari, tempura shishamo, soft shell crab, kawa ebi, tsukemono pickles, and mentaiko aioli – ideal for sharing.
The crescendo of flavors builds with the restaurant’s pizza, pasta, and secondi. The signature pizzas at Dopo Teatro feature a dough that has been fermented for at least 36 hours which gives the dough a delightful tang and then baked to a light and airy crisp. Enveloping your palate from the very first bite, the Verde (S$24) is topped with generous slices of mortadella, bocconcini, toasted pistachio, and wild rockets; all brought together by pistachio crème. For the Al Funghi Pizza (S$22), this vegan and vegetarian-friendly pizza showcases sake soya mushrooms medley, halloumi, wild rockets, and crispy mushroom floss. Harmonizing the ingredients is an addicting shiso pesto sauce.
Dopo Teatro also offers a variety of pasta options. Beautifully plated, the Seafood Paccheri (S$25) showcases Japanese octopus ragu ragu and Japanese baby crabs atop a bed of Italian paccheri pasta. The dish is served with ice plants and finally topped with uni foam and drizzles of shiso oil, lending the dish a nice kick. Its fragrance wafting through the air, the Sugo Al Granchio (S$25) is a marriage of handmade ika Sumi tagliatelle, spicy marinara, Kani, herb pangrattato, and wild rockets.
Dopo Teatro’s array of mains will satisfy all your hankerings. Starring locally farmed fish seared to golden-brown perfection, the Snapper Acqua Pazza (S$26) comes with tomato nage broth, capers, olives medley, cherry tomatoes, and ice plants. Another showstopping dish is the Maiale Alla Pastria (S$29): the Kurobuta pork chop is grilled and charred over high heat and bathed in masala jus. Sautéed mushroom medley and garlic mash potatoes serve as mouth-watering accompaniments.
End this colorful journey of flavors with the signature Pistachio Canoli (S$16) — a pleasantly nutty combination of cocoa cannoli, whipped pistachio ganache, sea salt dulce de leche, toasted pistachio, and matcha gelato. Craving for a sweeter ending? Opt for the Italian Bomboloni Trio (S$14) which features pillowy soft and round doughnuts rolled in sugar and piped with crema of matcha pistachio, dark chocolate ganache, and yuzu lemon custard.
