Griglia is a brand-new contemporary Italian grill restaurant nestled on the ground floor of a conservation shophouse in charming Craig Road. As its name promises, diners at Griglia will be treated to the tastes, sensations and emotions of the grigliata in a casual setting-- and fall in love with the magic of the Common Flame.

Grigliata is the summer outdoor grill adored by Italians for generations!

At Griglia almost all the ingredients, and not just meat, fish and seafood, are cooked with the cast iron charcoal grill. This stunning equipment, made-to- measure for the open kitchen, brings out the intrinsic flavours of the fresh seasonal produce. Meanwhile the warm and cosy restaurant is constructed and clad in the raw materials of the grigliata – wood, bricks and metal.

The Food

Griglia serves antipasti, artisanal salumi, main courses, sides, cheeses and desserts, and carries an extensive range of more than 100 wines from different regions, with up to 85% from Italy. Cocktails focus on different flavours of Negroni, Spritz and Gin & Tonic. Traditional Italian digestives, such as limoncello, amaro and grappa are also served.

Open Fire Grill

Open Fire Grill highlights an irresistible selection of beef, lamb, pork and fish. Aged beef and brined pork are used for its deep complex flavours to enhance the overall dining experience.

The meats, especially the ‘Fiorentina’ 30 days dry aged Porterhouse, are served in unconventional small sharing portion to allow diners to enjoy a wide variety of dishes from the menu. Seasonal fish such as Turbot is offered in large and small sizes.

An enticing selection of refreshing sides complements the main course. Some of the notable small plates include Gratinated bone marrow with rosemary and wild garlic crumbs, Cherry tomatoes with cucumber, olives and rocket salad and Potatoes puree with horse radish and smoked caciocavallo .

The Space And Open Kitchen

Griglia, nestled on the ground level of a 3-storey conservation shophouse along Craig Road, is a 41-seater restaurant with an open kitchen. Inspired by the outdoor setting of a grigliata, its warm decor showcases wood, brick and metal, raw materials and elements closely linked to fire. Wood fuels fire; bricks are formed by fire; and metals are bound by welding with fire. Metal is also a conductor that transfers heat from the fire to food.

The 1,600-square-feet interior is imbued with a rustic chic aesthetic for a contemporary and relaxed vibe. The dining hall is lined with green leather banquette seats and feature walls of prominent wooden slats and exposed brick. The elegantly designed fittings and furniture contrast with the rusticity. Burnt copper partitions enhance cosiness and allows guests to discover the space at their own pace.

Meanwhile, the open kitchen affords diners a dynamic view of the vigorous action around the stunning cast iron charcoal grill specially customised from Russia.

Family-Friendly Elements

Griglia offers a wide selection of food, and serving smaller sharing portions, this allows families to order and taste many dishes in the style of the ‘bring-your-own’ grigliata. The open kitchen give the kids the opportunity to have a view of the chefs in action too!
