The Puglian-inspired menu is seasonal and concise; highlights include cardoncelli mushrooms ($21), crispy-chewy focaccina with Tropea onions ($18), handmade orecchiette with broccolini and anchovies ($24), and grilled pork collar ($38). Dessert is served in a charming trolley – we’d recommend the light and crisp cannolis and the sweet-savoury burrata gelato ($14 for two desserts).

This white house styled after a masseria in Puglia is sited within East Coast Park. The sprawling lawn, spectacular ocean views and sound of the waves all exude a soothing vibe. The Pugliese chef is keen to bring authentic cuisine from his homeland to Singapore, of which focaccina and pasta made from scratch are the highlights.

Pugliese chef Miko Febrille is well-acquainted with the democratising power of pasta, having fronted a hit handmade pasta hawker pop-up in Chinatown Complex after leaving his post as chef de cuisine at one-Michelin-starred Braci last year. That’s probably part of the reason why a live pasta bar is the dining room centrepiece of his new eatery Fico, which opened last May in a breezy corner of East Coast Park with a focus on old-school Italian conviviality. Apart from a medley of pasta plates like the Denti Del Drago (Italian for “dragon’s teeth” in reference to its rough, jagged edges) draped in white ragu and a classic linguine a la vongole, don’t miss out on the carby goodness that is the restaurant’s signature focaccina, a crisp, airy lovechild of focaccia and pizza.

If you’re heading to East Coast Park for cycling or rollerblading, swing by Fico, a gem by Mirko Febbrile, who formerly headed the Michelin-starred restaurant Braci. Kickstart your meal with San Marzano Focacina ($22++), which is like a mix of focaccia and pizza, known for their juicy tomatoes and fragrant herb flavour. For mains, go for the Mafaldine Ossobuco ($30++) pasta, featuring flat ribbon-shaped pasta ladened in a rich and flavourful sauce crafted from slow-cooked veal shank, vegetables, and infused with Primitivo di Puglia red wine.

Touted as one of the hardest to book alfresco restaurants in Singapore, Fico is an homage to Puglia—hometown of chef Mirko Febbrile—in the coastal region of Italy, famed for its vibrant culture and amazing cuisine. Located in East Coast Parkway which overlooks the sea, Fico delivers a good representation of the majestic sea view you’d get in Puglia. Febbrile’s plates revolves around “cucina povera”—a waste-not want-not culinary approach achieved through using three to four ingredients to curate dishes with big and bold flavours.

East Coast Park is home to many eateries, with Fico being one of the newest kids on the block.
