Verve - alfesco dining by the bay

In Singapore, eating is a national pastime and food, a national obsession.  We constantly hear that food is the main topic of conversation among Singaporeans ..... or is it?

No longer is it "only Singaporeans" that are looking for good food places to eat. There are many new comers to Singapore and tourists or visitors who very well know that one of the best things about being in Singapore is undoubtedly the food. It is no secret that Singaporeans eat and drink with a passion but for the newcomer or tourist deciding where and what to eat can be an intimidating, yet at the same time, exciting experience. 

They are always on the lookout for a new or interesting place to dine....and the Verve Pizza Bar is just that - the recently opened outlet at The Marina Bay City Gallery - is alfresco dining at its best.  In addition to offering alfresco dining by the bay, Verve has one of the very best and most authentic Italian Pizza in Singapore. 
 
 
 
The Verve Italian Style Pizza's are made with fresh home made dough and include the Classic Pizza, the Senza Pizzas - a mix of traditional style thin crust Italiana pizza with the centre dough removed and replaced with fresh leaves - the Corleone, being one of their signature dishes, and the Trapini that includes tiger prawns, mushrooms and fresh basil .... there were many more but shall leave that up to you go and try for yourself!
 
 
For our evening meal, we indulged in the delightful appetizers, a few drinks, some fine Italian Pizzas, the gelato and then finished off with a delicious cafe latte...... after all that am happy to report we had a long walk to the Bay Grandstand where we had seats for the Singtel Singapore Grand Prix!
 
then came dessert .....the Italian Ice cream, absolutely the best this side of Italy!

Rob Coleman (the owner of Verve) says "Our gelato is made with no compromise” and I can attest to this having indulged in more than just a taste of the highly decadent chocolate that is made with 70% cocoa ...... all I can say is that it is truly 100% indulgence!

But the other flavors that they have on hand are worth trying as well. Perhaps not all at once though!


VANILLA COGNAC · DECADENT CHOCOLATE · FOREST BERRIES · STRAWBERRY · BAILEYS CHOCOLATE · TIRAMISU · CARAMEL SWIRL · OLD FASHIONED VANILLA · COOKIES & CREAM · MANGO SORBET · LEMON SORBET · LIME SORBET · CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW · HAZELNUT · PISTACHIO & GREEN ALMOND · MILO · CHOCOLATE ORANGE & COINTREAU · LEMON ICE-CREAM


 

The Verve Pizza Bar is the perfect place to meet with friends for lunch and dinner, for a few drinks after work or an afternoon indulgence of ice cream if you are wandering along the promenade at Marina Bay.
