Description

Chef Luca Pezzera offers fine Italian cuisine with an impressive wine list. Bonta ambiente – contemporary and inviting, warm and cosy Blessed with spacious loft-like interior, a very chill-out candle-lit alfresco dining area, great service and most of all, the award winning Chef Luca, Bonta welcomes guests to an authentic taste of Italy in a cosy and elegant ambience. You can distinctly see Bonta from the main roads with its candle lights flickering amidst the foliage in the alfresco dining area. The alfresco area is very much romanticized by the rustic beaded lanterns and candle lights so that alfresco dining is a chill-out cosy experience too. Step into Bonta and your attention is immediately drawn to the cascading cluster of cream hanging lamps casting a warm glow over the elevated bar area. These specially Italian custom-made fabric lamps certainly soften the contemporary decor of the restaurant. While in the main dining space, elegant furnishings and clean lines offset another dramatic focal point - a panel of orange textured fabric wall feature which one cannot miss, takes centrestage. Situated on the mezzanine floor of the restaurant is the private dining room with painted hues of lavender-grey is chic elegance with the black fabric crystal chandliers and a simple purple/silver wall decor. Adjoining this private room, the wine cellar takes pride in its collection of more than 200 wine labels from mostly Italy and that of New/Old World too. All about Chef Luca Pezzera - Passionate, Creative and Trendsetting At the helm of Bonta is Chef-partner Luca Pezzera, 38. The Bergamo native so passionate about cooking is almost impeccable in his craft, still, to never rest on his laurels. And this easy-going man can be rather fussy too about his already perfectly-executed dishes that he see as art. Chef Luca is equally excited on his first foray into Singapore's culinary scene which is why he starts his first entrepreneurial base here. This dream he relished since young, of being his own boss and the excitement of it all, further anchored his enthusiasm now that things finally began to take shape accordingly. And he feels close to home here in Singapore having noticed the favourite past-time of Singaporeans is food...just like the Italians. Chef Luca's zest on his cuisine philosophy: "My cooking style is just simplicity with emphasis on using top quality ingredients and the freshest too, with a keen sense of taste, texture, presentation and execution. I am largely influenced by the ingredients and cuisine of Northern Italy, very authentic yet with my personal signature modern touch." So 'personal' is this charming personable chef that he still finds time to say hello to diners and even some tete-a-tete mingle with diners when he's less busy. During his leisure time away from the kitchen, Chef Luca plays squash and swims regularly to keep fit too. Being an avid supporter of his hometown team, Atalanta, he also follows football.
