Worth it for / Skip if
Worth it for — knowing the bill before you go — the venue publishes S$9 to S$32 across the individual items on record; arriving by train — the record puts it 4 minutes on foot from Esplanade MRT.
Every clause above is drawn from a named field in this venue's record — a published price, a booking route, the verified hours — and nothing else.
What it costs
The venue publishes S$9 to S$32 across the 8 individual menu items in this selection. Those items are priced on different bases — portions and individual dishes — so the range is not a per-person budget. No service-charge or GST note is recorded against any priced row, so no all-in figure is estimated here.
Confirm the current price with the venue when you book. Forkin publishes prices only where a dated public source carries them, and flags it when sources disagree. Source: Garibaldi Italian Restaurant & Bar official menu. Last checked 3 September 2026.

The longer version
Garibaldi Italian Restaurant & Bar is assessed on three independent, dated assessments. The MICHELIN Guide's 2026 Singapore selection names ossobuco, costoletta alla Milanese and tiramisu among its signature dishes and calls it one of the city's best known Italian restaurants. The Auditing Foodie found the pappardelle rich and springy in 2022. A 2012 Daniel Food Diary review called the experience memorable with fine tasting Italian food; it is counted but weighted as dated.

Opening hours
Day-by-day hours are not verified for this venue. The venue's own summary reads: Daily lunch: 12:00 PM–2:30 PM (last order 2:00 PM); daily dinner: 6:00 PM–10:30 PM (last order 10:00 PM).. Hours are published here only once a dated source has been read for the whole week, so a partial week is never shown as a full one.

Editorial stamp
WORTH A LOOK
Confidence: mediumForkin desk assessment of attributable public coverage — not a personal dining review.
Restored 3 September 2026 on three countable assessments: the current MICHELIN Guide restaurant page, a dated personal-blog account of a paid meal, and DanielFoodDiary's early review. A continuity check found no premises, ownership or concept break across the period, so the older item remains admissible as dated evidence. Coverage is consistently favourable rather than divided, so the previous MIXED FORKS band is not reinstated.

The current countable set is consistently favourable, so a 'divisive' band would misdescribe the evidence. Flagged for editorial review. Continuity confirmed across sources: DanielFoodDiary names 36 Purvis Street in 2012, Wine Spectator names Roberto Galetti as chef-owner in 2018, The Auditing Foodie reports a meal at the same Purvis Street restaurant in 2022, and the MICHELIN assessment dated 4 August 2026 covers #01-02, 36 Purvis Street. This evidences continued venue, address and owner-led identity, not that all kitchen personnel are unchanged.
