Join Chef Angelina, Head Chef at Fico, an Italian restaurant along East Coast Park by Chef Mirko Febbrile & Lo & Behold Group.
Tiramisu is one of Italy’s most famous dessert and probably originated in late 1960’s or early 1970’s – around the same period Bimby® (Italian name for Thermomix®) was born! Debunked myths have even dated Tiramisu’s origin to the 17th century when a similar dessert was created for The Grand Duke Cosimo de’ Medici III.

About Fico
Fico’s menu is based on seasonal Italian cooking inspired by the simplicity of Cucina Povera – the use of good quality ingredients with time-honoured methods. Fico is designed and inspired by the masserias of Italy — with both Singaporean and Puglian artisanal art creations integrated into the decor.
