A few words from Il Caminetto
Il Caminetto is an independent Italian pizzeria built on tradition, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the art of pizza. Founded almost a decade ago and now led by Andrea, Roberto and Lorenzo, the venue has evolved with a clear vision: to honour classic Italian techniques while refining them through research, experience, and an uncompromising approach to quality.
At the heart of Il Caminetto is its dough — naturally fermented, carefully hydrated, and developed over time to achieve lightness, digestibility, and depth of flavour. Each pizza is finished with premium ingredients sourced from Italy and trusted local producers, chosen for seasonality, balance, and integrity rather than trends.
Il Caminetto has earned international recognition, being ranked on the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific list in both 2023, 2024 2025 and 2026, a testament to its consistency, technique, and hospitality. More than accolades, the focus remains on delivering an honest dining experience where food, service, and atmosphere work in harmony.
Whether dining in or ordering at home, Il Caminetto represents a modern expression of Italian pizza — rooted in tradition, shaped by passion, and served with genuine hospitality.
