This is the last week to experience the two week long Viva Italia at Wisma Atria. The atrium at Level 1 has been transformed into an idyllic Italian piazza showcasing fine Italian food such as artisanal jams, truffle and wine from family-run online food business Clessidra and sweet treats from Alfredo Gelato. You have to try the jams. My favourite is the compote of Peach and Chilli with an initial taste of sweetness followed by the spiciness which hits you only after a while. They are just amazing and the husband and wife duo Francesco and Emanuela are nice to have a chat with.
Clessidra will also be conducting food tasting sessions which are limited to only ten people per session. You can call +6596583987 or email info@clessidra.com.sg for more information.
