iO Italian Osteria

Excellent food and service. The menu has many unique dishes and the food is consistently good. The Italian wines are a good standard and reasonably priced.

Lovely choice for a small birthday celebration. Big thanks to the attentive crew! I will return for sure to try other items on the menu.

Always wonderful. Genuine people, authentic and without the unnecessary fussiness of too many others

Great ambiance with fantastic food and courteous staff. The restaurant is easy to find and the novelty the chef bring on the table blows my mind

I was impressed and have enjoyed my meal the first time a month back but not so much the second time. My last dish wasn’t served for sometime because it was not in my order. I even asked a waitress about my order but she did not came back to our table. Overall, we still enjoyed the food. Brought my aunt who is visiting from UK to the restaurant since she loves Italian food and she enjoyed her meal and said it is authentic. Please keep up the good work guys!

Great food and service for an affordable price. Please do not set a minimum word count as now I’m trying to fill it up by doing this

The one Italian waiter assigned to our table was simply the worst we have ever encountered. Stood at table with arms crossed and asked what we wanted to order. No menu, no recommendations. His attitude throughout gave us the impression that we should be grateful for gracing us with his presence. Smart mouthed as well. Unfortunately we didn't get his name but we did lodge a complaint with the manager. The standard of the food has definitely slipped ; the beef caparccio was tough and the baked eggs was far too liquid. I conclude that success has somewhat caused them to lose focus on food quality and service standards.

Food was absolutely divine! Service was fast as well but clearing of plates were a little slow and kind of had to help ourselves. The ambience was pretty nice and chill for a night out for an affordable price. Would recommend getting the roman stuffed stracchieta and check with the staff of the pasta specials for the day as well!!

We had a big feast. The chicken was a bit salty but the crew was nice enough for me to change to other dish.

the staff were polite and informative. The food service was fast and the food tasted really good. The food was reasonably priced and payment was convenient

Seafood platter, roasted chicken, schiacchiata with white wine, after a long run.

Friendly crews, good food. I enjoy the most before the peak hour at my usual seat☺️

First try of the Italian meatball with tomato sauce and cheese. That’s so good.

I love the ambience and the food. The truffle bread and pizza is a must have! Lunch is a better time if you wanna avoid the crowd!

Good recommendations and personalised service. Service crew was. Well staffed and attentive Would help if plain water was not charged (over priced), by the litre.

As usual, great wholesome and tasty food, efficient and convivial service!! My place to go when I want no-nonsense comfort food in Singapore! See you guys soon!!

Great service! I especially liked the regular checks by the Waiters and Waitresses, reminded me of Western-styled service. I will definitely be back again with family :-)

Great food, nice ambience. only the table is a bit too pack, so do go there early to get a better spot. house wine is a bit bland, but can't really blame too much. The music choice can be lot more better. Overall quite good experience here!

The pasta that I had was too salty for me but I ate half of it anyway. The restaurant offered to change but I was already too full to have another plate.

its a pretty decent restaurant, just remember dont over order and order over a few time as you may be surprise by the mismatch in portion n pricing

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
