Step inside SINN and the ordinary dissolves. Tucked within the striking LXX complex in Sandton, this luxury modern-Italian restaurant has spent its first year captivating Johannesburg with a dining experience that feels as indulgent as its name suggests. Now, just in time for the city’s glittering festive season, SINN reveals a new modern Italian menu; contemporary, daring, and every bit as stylish as its dramatic interiors.
Here, Italian soul is reimagined with a decadent twist. Plates arrive like works of art: woodfired salmon pâté crowned with charred dil bruschetta, pear and pancetta carpaccio with roasted hazelnuts, and the now-signature lobster ‘mac’ & cheese, where mezzi rigatoni in molten cheese is lifted with lemon pangrattato and finished with a butter confit lobster tail. Comfort meets couture in dishes like the slow-roasted short rib with Parmesan mash, while lighter pleasures are found in artichoke & truffle ravioli and peppered polenta with ragù.
The experience extends to the bar, where cocktails are composed with as much attention to detail as the food, and gelato and sorbet flavours shift with the season — a delicious invitation to return again and again. Mixology highlights include the “Cheeky Devil”, where a spicy and fiery cocktail arrives in a martini glass, adorned with fresh chilies, setting the mood for the evening.
The SINN experience extends beyond offering opulent cuisine. With its moody interiors, glowing red bar, and projector-lit ceilings, the space is a theatre, a stage where Sandton gathers to dine, celebrate, and revel. Every detail, down to the emblem etched with a circle of Italian charms, whispers of indulgence, a nod to the idea that pleasure, taken seriously, is its own form of luxury.
As Johannesburg slides into the year’s most decadent months, SINN stands ready: a table set for celebrations, modern, contemporary Italian dining.
