Da Paolo Gastronomia at Great World is a casual Italian restaurant and gourmet deli from the Da Paolo Group, a family-run business bringing Everyday Italian dining to Singapore since 1989. Positioned in the River Valley neighbourhood between Orchard Road and the Central Business District, and accessible from Great World MRT, the restaurant welcomes guests into an interior inspired by a Tuscan courtyard, with sunlight streaming through the windows and seating set under olive trees.
The all-day dining menu covers Italian classics such as pizza, pasta and grilled sandwiches, alongside Italian cocktails like the spritz, and a selection of Italian wine and craft Italian beer. At the entrance, an Italian gourmet shop features homemade gelato, a deli counter with Italian ham and cheese, sourdough bread and a wide range of fresh pastries, plus gourmet products sourced directly from artisans across Italy.
For guests who want the Da Paolo experience at home, the Grab & Go deli section offers preservative-free ready meals crafted from scratch, from ready-to-bake pizza to pasta salads and homemade lasagna, along with fresh homemade pasta and pasta sauces. Those after something sweet can take home the signature Tiramisu or the Nutella-based N Cake.
The restaurant is led by the Da Paolo family's second generation - Group Executive Chef Andrea Scarpa, Head of Marketing & Product Management Francesca Scarpa, and CEO Guillaume Pichoir - continuing a business built on authentic Italian flavours, sourcing and hospitality.
Da Paolo Gastronomia at Great World is part of a family business that has been bringing authentic Italian dining to Singapore since 1989. Today the group is led by the founder's second generation - Group Executive Chef Andrea Scarpa, his sister Francesca Scarpa, who heads Marketing & Product Management, and her husband Guillaume Pichoir, the group's CEO. Together they continue what the family calls the Everyday Italian lifestyle, built on authentic flavours, careful sourcing and warm hospitality.
The Great World outpost sits in the River Valley neighbourhood, between Orchard Road and the Central Business District, and is directly accessible from Great World MRT. Step inside and the space is designed to feel like a Tuscan courtyard, with sunlight streaming through the windows and seating arranged as if dining under olive trees.
Gastronomia is described as an all-day dining restaurant and gourmet deli, and the menu reflects that range. Guests can settle in for Italian classics such as pizza, pasta and grilled sandwiches, in a setting the group calls cosy and comfortable. To go with the food, the bar offers Italian cocktails including the spritz, alongside a selection of Italian wine and craft Italian beer.
What sets Gastronomia apart from a typical restaurant is the gourmet shop built into the entrance. Here, homemade Italian gelato sits alongside a deli counter stocked with Italian ham and cheese, sourdough bread, and a wide range of fresh pastries. Beyond the deli counter, the shop carries a broader selection of gourmet products sourced directly from artisans across Italy, letting guests take a piece of the Da Paolo pantry home with them.
For those who want the Da Paolo experience without dining in, the Grab & Go deli section offers preservative-free ready meals crafted from scratch. The range spans ready-to-bake pizza and pasta salads to the group's homemade lasagna, which is easily warmed up at home. Home cooks can also pick up fresh homemade pasta and pasta sauces to build their own meal.
No Da Paolo visit is complete without dessert, and the Great World gourmet shop carries two of the group's signature options to take home: the classic Tiramisu and the indulgent, Nutella-based N Cake.
