RESTAURANT REVAMP

il Cielo Level 24, voco Orchard Singapore 581 Orchard Road Singapore 238883 Tel: 6730 3395 Open for lunch and dinner Wed to Sat: 12pm to 3pm; 5pm to 10pm. Lunch only on Sun.

THINK revamp or reopening and something new comes to mind. Or at least an upgrade, promotion or simply a refreshed version of what the original was. Then we come to il Cielo, whose idea of an overhaul is to ditch the starched linens of its former fine dining Italian self and slum it out as a poolside cafe instead.
