iO Italian Osteria

Great food and ambience of the place. Faster serving of food if you go during lunch time. Dinner is too packed but will still go back again. Love the tasty food there!

excellent food, good service. perhaps the hostess needs some help during busy periods, new arrivals had to wait while she was trying to juggle ringing up bills for customers paying.

Excellent! It was my 2nd visit to iO and it was still an excellent experience- Food was excellent and I ordered the Brunello from Gaja. It was an excellent evening :)

Lovely authentic Italian food in a nice residential area. Feels like back in a small town in Italy again... I like the fact that they are now serving smaller portions now, instead of just one standard size previously, so that my family of 4 can sample as many as we want, like tapas.

Was super crowded on a Friday night. Especially love the stuffed traditional Roman schiacciata. So yummy!

Great Italian food and nice atmosphere! There were mostly Italian servers and chef so I believe the food is really authentic. Will be back again next time!

Good food. It was a packed restaurant on a weekday night. Service was the usual Italian brusqueness with a touch of humor thrown in. Will return

Very nice food. Would be good if they can put in some pictures in the menu as some people are not familiar with Italian food.

Great food. For vegetarians, the truffle pasta was recommended (not in menu). It was incredibly tasty. My only gripe is that it cost $32, which is significantly more than the most expensive pasta on menu. Had a bit of a shock when we were paying as they did not inform us of the cost beforehand.

Focus on the sides but not the mains neither the chef speciality for the day. The restaurant tucked us away in a corner with boxes of wines lining against the wall though they were informed of us being there for our 27th wedding Anniversary. Quite a let down.

Most servers were very friendly but the food standard's seemed to be a bit off from our previous experiences. Tables nearer to the windows were a lot warmer especially in the afternoon.

Interesting selection of pastas. The servers were really nice and knowledgeable about the food they had. Had a mix of sides and their special pastas which was a really fulfilling meal. Thank you for the nice time.

The place makes the customer felt warm and at home. Service is warm. Food portion is considered very large even for lunch. Looking forward to try more items on their menu on my next visit.

The food was great, and the staff are really on the ball. they were always ready to take an order. I would really recommend it.

I had a lot more expectations considering the reviews on tripadvisor and some friends, was disappointed compared to that, specially for vegetarian options. We had the stuffed Roman Schiacciata that was quite nice. We also ordered the Hand cut potatoes, rock salt and rosemary that a bit too burnt and sweet for our liking. We went on to ordering a pesto linguini- the pasta was a bit too al dente and the sauce did not have enough 'hit' of basil in it. Had to add salt to taste in both the pasta and the rosemary potato. The best dish was the dessert-Pistachio Tiramisu- it was soft and still held its shape and was delicious. Overall ok, just not great! In terms of service I thought they came to ask us for next order too soon, one after another. should leave us alone and we can ask. There was another guy who was always hovering around the table to clear things or see if we needed anything, but felt intrusive.

Pizza was excellent. Also love the lasagne and the meatballs. The risotto in lobster sauce was good but too salty. Everything is very affordable except for the dessert which is $14 for a slice vs $18 can get you a very good plate of lasagne. Will return to try other dishes

Food was not too bad and the ambience was nice. However, post meal my friends and I agreed that we were somehow not satiated. That was after 3 mains and 2 starters for the 3 of us. The menu was also small, but had interesting dishes that weren't commonly found elsewhere.

Really very happy to bring our little Nathaniel here as he is so welcomed by the staff

Great place to be !!! Love to be in this exciting venue always !!

Just love the food here . Specials are indeed special and delicious!!

A very cosy and quaint joint, the food is excellent and the prices are reasonable. Portions are slightly small but can't complain for the price! Dishes I would highly recommend : roasted pork belly fennel, golden crispy seafood in semolina crumb and the special of the day - lobster bisque risotto. The service was excellent as well , I would definitely return to this restaurant!

Great food. Service was ok. Could be better. We were put in a corner and did not get much room to move.

Good Italian Restaurant, good ambient, nice setup & relaxing., will bring my family members & friends if they want to enjoy Italian foods & spend relaxing time there.

First time here but it was a wonderful experience~ Will visit again!

Good food good service. Very busy. Italian server knows his stuff. Super crowded. Open kitchen makes diners smell of oily grill. Entrance, host, exit, payment and kitchen all in the same corner which makes it a bottle neck and jammed up. Even the servers had problems maneuvering about within the restaurant. Something should be done to change the set up for more flow

very authentic italian food at very affordable pricing. Seats were a little cramped and restaurant was noisy. The tiramisu was very very good. Will visit again

Food was lovely. Ambience nice. However as the lunch crowd got in and it became full, the temperature got uncomfortable. The air conditioning needs to be improved.

Very nice place to have a celebration. Not a fan of Italian food but it was one of the better ones I've tasted! It was a little expensive but worth it for the quality.

Great food. Wide selection Good and attentive service. Restaurant was relatively empty when we went. Will revisit in the near future as it is the few places that sell authentic and affordable Italian food.

Really enjoyed our visit, The place was busy but service was good and fast. The food was very nice and well presented. We would definitely go again which is the best recommendation I can give

Authentic, unpretentious homey italian fare. Fresh ingredients & wonderful fresh bakes. A tad crowded & tables are always packed in to maximise seating. Can be a tad noisy during peak hours.

Great food and wonderful staff. Food was amazing and well-priced. Good for family dinners or a date. Lamb ragout was a standout. burrata was delicious as well. Loved the house pinot grigot!

excellent Italian food with great service. pastas are great. the location is a little obscure but is worth the trip. price point is OK but not cheap.

This is one of the best restaurants in terms of food and service. It's really a TEN! Make sure you order the porchetta, the pork belly. It's amazing.

It's my 2nd visit and I LOVE the beef carpaccio, the baked pork belly entree and pistachio tiramisu here. Somehow, on both my visits, the pasta dishes failed to impress me but the entrees and the meat dishes were excellent on both visits. I will be back.

Regular customer. The roasted chicken was amazing as usual. Paired with a glass of wine that was recommended by the staff. Big love from me!

Seafood platter with a mixture of fish, squid, scallops. Grilling sounds simple and yet I love that platter so much. Shall try out the pasta soon🤗

Great pizzas and pastas! We got the medium assorted pizzas, and boy were they the best pizzas we've ever had. We will definitely come back.

The pizza was really delicious. Yhe special weekend pasta was great too with intense colours and flavours. Impeccable service and top-notch presentation of food! Marvellous/

Pretty much the most authentic Italian experience I have had locally. Robust flavours, well priced and excellent service - the constant crowds are well justified.

Loved the ambience in this restaurant, definitely suited to casual family or friend gatherings. Highly recommend going for a variety of small bites rather than filling yourself up with a main course as the entrees are definitely more impressive. My favourites were the beef carpaccio and roast pork entrees.

Excellent food and service. Had enjoyable dinner and service staff was attentive and helpful. However, place was small and cramp. Will go back again and highly recommended.

Always loved the food! Had good recommendations to try the specials, which was a truffle pasta and a pork collar. Service was friendly and efficient too.

Starters, side dishes and desserts were very yummy. Love the homely ambience and the service there is very good! Everyone is welcoming and sufficiently attentive.

Either truffle or Parma ham scacchiatas, are so palatable. The cream wasn't overwhelming at all, as well as the cheese. Certainly you can order a Small serving and more than enough 😝

amazing food, pretty setting and friendly service at affordable rates. the truffle pizza is a must!! probably the best i've ever had. freshly baked breads at $8/loaf was definitely delicious too. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Great experience overall. The wine, seafood and cold cut are good. Did not manage to try the others. Waiters are friendly and skillful in recomendation, hispitality was great as well.

Staff was friendly and approachable. Good initiative in recommending specials on their menu. Legit Italian food with affordable price! Will definitely come back here again!

Awesome service and food!! Love the ambience of the restaurant. Will definitely come back again to try the other items on the menu! :) highly recommended!

Great food, nice vibe amidst lush greenery. Friendly staff despite being busy. Breads freshly baked, authentic pastas not the typical run of the mill spaghetti bolognese or fettuccine carbonara jobs. Tasty desserts especially the pistachio tiramisu. Will return.
