Pete's Place (Grand Hyatt Singapore)

For Valentine’s Day dinner, we kept it casual at Pete’s Place, and honestly, that’s the kind of dining experience we enjoy these days—good, honest cooking done right.

We started with the Calamari Fritti, and it was one of the best we’ve had in a while. Lightly battered and fried to tender perfection, the squid was paired with pickled zucchini, which added a refreshing contrast to the crispy goodness.

For mains, we had the Linguine Vongole, where the clams could have been plumper, but the white wine reduction was beautifully balanced—sweet, savoury, and full of umami. The Diavola Pizza was everything you’d expect—meaty, cheesy, with a chewy, satisfying crust that fills you up fast.

But the star of the night? Pete’s Tiramisu. Served tableside from a tray, the savoiardi biscuits soaked up the espresso and white amaretto, making each bite moist, decadent, and just the right amount of boozy, while the mascarpone added a creamy, luxurious finish.

Definitely a spot worth adding to the list for comforting, well-executed Italian fare.

We ordered Prosciutto Di Parma, where their signature 48-hour dough pizza is topped with aged 18-month Parma ham, rocket, plum tomatoes, parmesan and mozzarella cheese. The thin Parma ham is savoury and flavourful, and the rocket leaves brings balance to the strong flavours. The pizza crust is thin, soft and slightly chewy. Enjoyed this!

For mains, we had Spaghetti Cioppino (additional $10) which is a tomato-based pasta with half Marine lobster, black tiger prawns, scallops, squid, blue swimmer crab, clams and plum tomatoes. The seafood is fresh and generous, and the delicious sauce complements the seafood and al dente spaghetti. Love the big and crunchy prawns especially!

We had Calamari Fritti for appetiser. The squid is tender on the inside and very crispy on the outside, and it goes well with the garlic aioli and a squirt of lemon juice.

It’s Grand Hyatt Singapore’s 50th anniversary and to celebrate, Executive Chef Gottfried Schuetzenberger has created 2 anniversary menus (Lunch at $50++ and Dinner from $68++) from now till 30 November 2021 at mezza9 and Pete’s Place. The menus showcase beloved dishes that were once served at the hotel’s former restaurants: Nutmegs, Hugo’s and Branningan’s.

For the special dinner menu at Pete’s Place, we each got to enjoy Beef Carpaccio w Rocket, Shaved Parmesan Cheese, Balsamic & Lemon (so savoury and fresh!), Mushroom Soup w/ Black Truffle & Walnut-Bread Croutons (really comforting and loved the earthy truffle aroma), Cioppino Alla Pete’s Place (really hearty seafood with pasta - I’d recommend adding on Salmon Caviar ($15++) for an extra burst of flavour!) and a delectable dessert - Baba w/ Cherry Jubilee, Cherry Flambee & Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (great end to the meal!). Overall, we felt this is very worth it for the food quality and the price you’re paying.

To top off our meal, we had a refreshing glass of Tropical Itch ($12++/glass; available at mezza9 too)! It’s a signature cocktail from Brannigan’s that’s back as part of the 50th anniversary menu specials. Finally, would love to give a special shout-out to Tango & team too for their excellent service that night!
