Recently, pedestrians were surprised to see a hoarding around the McDonald’s outlet at Raffles City, signaling its closure. The fast food chain, a mainstay at the mall since 2009, will soon make way for Casa Vostra – an exciting new Italian bistro set to open this June.
While some may lament the departure of McDonald’s, the arrival of Casa Vostra brings a fresh wave of anticipation. Originating as a delivery-only concept in 2023, Casa Vostra quickly gained popularity for its handmade, restaurant-quality pizzas delivered straight to customers’ homes for a convenient oven-fresh experience. Following a successful pop-up venture at Ann Siang Hill last November, Casa Vostra is now venturing into its first physical store at Raffles City, offering patrons the option of a leisurely dine-in experience or a quick grab-and-go meal, along with opportunities to shop for authentic Italian products and witness live pizza and pasta making.
Helmed by Chef Antonio Miscellaneo, the mastermind behind La Bottega Enoteca, renowned as one of Singapore’s premier pizzerias, Casa Vostra promises to deliver excellence in every bite. With La Bottega Enoteca earning the 19th spot on the prestigious 50 Top Pizza awards in the Asia Pacific region, Chef Miscellaneo’s culinary prowess is well-established. Teaming up with Chef Diego Vitagliano from Naples, the duo recently hosted a highly sought-after dinner collaboration, further cementing Casa Vostra’s reputation in the culinary scene. Stay tuned for the official opening date, complete menu offerings, and operating hours, and in the meantime, keep an eye on Casa Vostra’s website and Instagram for updates.
