Given its name, it is only apt that the delicious aroma of freshly baked breadsticks (grissini) greets you as you enter this renowned Italian restaurant. Though Grissini’s menu is a seasonal one, there is a range of classics. These include the antipasto del buongustaio and popular tagliatelle al ragu Bolognese – which requires hours over a stove and is a good benchmark to gauge the authenticity of any Italian eatery. Desserts are also given innovative twists – a tiramisu is served with an icy pile of amaretto granita, while an Amalfi lemon is served with different textures and at different temperatures. Grissini also has an impressive floor-to-ceiling wine gallery that houses 1,000 bottles of mainly Italian wines.
