Dinner is hosted at IL Forno, where Chef Christian Chan leads a curated Italian experience featuring live pizza-making and artisanal pasta dishes.

Dining here feels like a flavorful journey from the very first bite. The experience begins with warm complimentary bread, followed by perfectly executed starters like bruschetta and crispy fried calamari. For the mains, our team opted for the gnocchi in cream sauce and the pesto pasta; both so delicious that the plates were cleared in no time.
The dessert selection adds a sweet finish to the meal. The profiteroles are a standout, and the soft-serve ice cream is a simple pleasure you shouldn’t miss. To complete the experience, enjoy your meal while taking in the sweeping views of the city; a backdrop that makes every dish feel even more memorable.
