Step Inside Singapore's Most Intimate Dining Spot
An Evening Worth Lingering Over
Some evenings begin with dinner.
The best ones become something more.
Hidden along the Singapore River at Boat Quay, Aniba is a Southern Italian restaurant where every detail is designed to encourage guests to slow down, settle in and enjoy the pleasure of gathering around the table.
Led by Chef Alessandro Frau, our menu celebrates contemporary Southern Italian cooking through handmade pasta, wood-fired pizzas, fresh fish and seasonal ingredients, served in a space where conversation flows as naturally as the wine.
Whether you're joining us for an intimate dinner, a business gathering or a special celebration, we invite you to experience Italian dining as it was always meant to be—generous, welcoming and shared.
An Intimate Italian Restaurant in the Heart of Singapore
Tucked away in the heart of Boat Quay, Aniba offers a different rhythm from the city just outside.
Warm lighting, natural textures and an open kitchen create an atmosphere that feels inviting from the moment you arrive. As the evening unfolds, the room comes alive with the sounds of conversation, glasses raised across the table and dishes arriving from the kitchen, each one encouraging just one more bite to share.
Whether you're catching up with old friends, entertaining clients or celebrating with family, our dining room is designed to feel intimate without ever feeling formal.
It's a place to linger.
Where Your Night Begins
Every evening at Aniba finds its own rhythm.
Perhaps it begins with an aperitivo at the bar before moving to the table. A few antipasti are shared while the wine is poured, followed by handmade pasta, wood-fired pizzas and signature mains served for everyone to enjoy together.
Dessert is rarely the end of the evening. A tiramisu to share, an espresso, a digestif or one final glass of wine often keeps the conversation going a little longer.
Italian dining has never been about rushing through a meal.
It's about enjoying the company around the table as much as the food itself.
Thoughtful Southern Italian Cooking, Designed for Sharing
At Aniba, our menu is inspired by the generosity of Southern Italy.
Chef Alessandro Frau's cooking celebrates handmade pasta, fresh fish, seasonal vegetables and wood-fired cooking, allowing exceptional ingredients to take centre stage without unnecessary complication.
Rather than ordering individual plates, many of our guests choose to share across the table, discovering different flavours together over the course of the evening.
It's an approach to Italian dining that feels relaxed, generous and wonderfully unhurried.
Private Dining & Celebrations
Some gatherings deserve a more personal setting.
Alongside our main dining room, Aniba offers beautifully designed spaces for private dining, corporate dinners, celebrations and special occasions in Singapore.
Every event is personally guided by a dedicated concierge who works closely with you to curate the experience—from menu recommendations to the smallest finishing touches—so you can focus on enjoying the evening with your guests.
Whether you're planning an executive dinner, birthday, anniversary or corporate event, our team is here to make every gathering feel effortless.
Why Guests Choose Aniba
We believe the most memorable evenings are never built around a single dish.
They're built around the people at the table, the conversations that unfold, and the feeling of not wanting the evening to end.
That's the experience we hope every guest leaves with.
Many return for a favourite pasta or pizza. Others come back for the atmosphere, the hospitality and the sense of ease that fills the room from the first aperitivo to the final espresso.
No two evenings are exactly the same, but every one is made to be shared.
