iO Italian Osteria

Food was mostly okay, they used to be a lot better. House wines were horrible, the red was barely drinkable. For a family run Italian restaurant we expected a lot more.

A perfect place for couple date and must choose off-peak hours! We had roasted chicken, calamari and pork belly and enjoyed them a lot.

Food was great!! It was my second time there with my kids, but for my husband it was his 1st. He was impressed by the casual ambience and food. Compared to the last visit, However I found some of the items pricey like their specials of the day.

Great food and ambience! Brought my brother there on a Sunday lunch. He loved the toast pork and truffled bread. I will be back again!

love the ambience of the restaurant. feel as if you are in Italy. the food is so authentic and the staff are highly trained so much so they are able to recommend which food complement each other.

I have visited this restaurant twice and the service is cold. Responses are curt and no effort invested in making customers feel welcome . Will not go back

IO serves authentic italian food with nice ambience and nice service :) Recommended for those who like their pasta & pizza very authentic. It may not be suitable for Asian liking though :)

Seafood guazetto with olive bread. It's so good and filling enough for one. They provide weekend special and I would like to try for the next round!

Food was good. Enjoyed the garlic toast, egg plant in tomato sauce with parmesan cheese and the roast chicken. Service was fast. Loved the ambience, rustic and cosy with a genuine Italian vibe

Roasted chicken and calamari with a glass of wine. Never sick of this place where they always provide the best food and service for me. Make it like my second home. Lol.

Their staff were very attentive :) and explain their specials in details. Their food were fresh and can see that their food prepared with lots of efforts

Will be back, food was very tasty, great service and loved the ambience of the place. The truffle toasted bread was delicious. Pork belly was nice too.

Food is delicious and love the street food and breads. The restaurant is very crowded and have a mix of local and expat. Service is decent for full capacity restaurant.

food and service are excellent though it can be even better for the price point. The porcini ravoli and seafood soup were excellent and tasty The crab pasta had too many small shell pieces broken off and the pork skewers were a little salty

The food was Excellent. Every dish was delicious. The restaurant was full and there was a buzzy atmosphere. The staff knew the menu well and could offer advice on both food choices and wine.. Great night out.

Good food and service. Excellent pizzas and pastas. Traditional Italian fare. A bit out of the way but on the plus side easy parking. Recommended

The food was good and the customer service decent too. We had tried 2 of their special pastas of the day and the price was around 30 per pasta

It's our second visit. Food were still good and services staff were helpful and friendly. We were even advised by the service staffs that we have over ordered. Will not hesitate to visit again.

We ordered the flat bread that was highly recommended and it was definitely delicious, made us crave for more. Overall, the service was great and the ambience was homely and comfortable.

Very nice environment, authentic italian feel. Price was pretty affordable in that case. Will likely return again. Portion of the food is big so order to share.

The truffle and stuffed schiaciatta is the best- do get the bigger portion. The small portion was not sufficient! The cod fish with guazetto was not bad, and the grilled seafood was a crowd pleaser. I enjoyed!

Food and service were great, but a little bit rushed. Got the pork knuckle, the risotto (which was big enough to feed two), the lamb ragout and the tiramisu. Will be back for the pork and tiramisu.

Love the place, good food, great service. Thought it smells a bit oily as it is enclosed. For the truffle bread, it is a bit over cooked. Must reserved as it is always full. Will visit again.

I had a dessert called zeppole, a special for Father's Day. It was so good after meal. My main was guazzeto. They made my day.

The food was good - unique taste and unique dishes. The cakes were delicious and fresh. Service staff were fast and kneonwhat to recommend. Will visit again.

Great tasty risotto as special daily meal, good seafood soup, nice scenery and fresh crisp salmon pizza. Wonderful service, a must try and affordable prices.

Food was great - loved the beef! Perhaps staff taking orders could advise if there was too much food or too heavy. Restaurant was also rather noisy.

Service personal and impeccable. Food was delicious and we loved the seafood guazzetto, the bread basket with olive oil n balsamic could keep us going all day long! worth a visit, and another, and another

Chef Anna was so kind and warm. She took care of me like a gentle mum. I like the feeling so much. And I'm thankful.

Finally I brought a Friend. We tried roasted pork. That's succulent inside and crunchy on the outside. Since the door opened, the restaurant was already pretty packed. Maybe in that hectic, some staff showed annoying faces.

Interesting Italian spread and especially love the baked pork belly! Pizza selection was good and like the crusty dough especially bacon and cheese. Tiramisu highly recommended.

Osteria staff were busy given the large crowd. Service was still rather prompt though. Food was good. Ambience was so-so given the crowd and close seating arrangement. Definately worth a try, even though the location is a little out of the way.

Excellent food & service! I brought along a cake for my mom's celebration and the staff were very accommodating, helping to set up the cake for the surprise!

Great atmosphere and food. Servings were generous. Staff were friendly and accomodating. We had a great time there and would love to try the dessert next time.

Great food, lively ambience on a weekend and helpful, smiling staff. The food portions were quite filling as well. All in all a great place to enjoy with your family & friends

Reservation is recommended if you want to be assured of having a place to enjoy your meals. Food is good and the service is wonderful. The restaurant is packed but still, the service is good. I shall return !!

We always love their authentic Italian food and cozy ambiance. Great to meet up friends with a group. Thanks for sweet bits for kids! 👍

I heard rave reviews from several Facebook friends so I wanted to try it. It's hard to get last minute reservations and not all the times are given out to Quandoo, you may have to call the restaurant directly sometimes. I finally managed a reservation on Quandoo yesterday. The place was packed, Tables are placed very close together ( about 20cm apart) and it's very hard to have a proper conversation, perhaps because we were sitting under the speakers and there was loud music playing, I could hear the neighbouring tables more than my own family. Service was efficient and food was served hot and quickly ( I was surprised such a small open kitchen could cope with such a large number of diners). There were 4 of us and not enough space on the table for our food! We had the roast pork belly - very tender but the crackling was not as crispy as our local siew yoke! We also had the calamari skewers - not very tasty even though they were smothered in a pesto and tomato sauce. The tagolini with lemon and prawns tasted overwhelmingly of asparagus, none of us liked it. The roast chicken was huge and came dripping with juice, It was tasty and tender. The beer braised beef was melt in your mouth tender and tasty. The assorted pizza platter arrived at the end and they were hot, with a thick crispy on the outside chewy on the inside Napolitian style thick crust with lots of cheese, flavours and ingredients. I'm more a thin crust pizza person - so didn't like it as much. 2 of us say we would be back, personally I think I'll go to Pepperoni Pizza next time.

Saturday morning with grillled garden salad and schiacciata stuffed with truffle paste. The garden salad was a pretty generous portion and schiacciata was crunchy and tasty.

We always have a good time at IO. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and unobtrusive in their service. Fun and upbeat ambience with good authentic food.

Very friendly and warm staff. Had grilled eggplants for starters, lagsana and tagliolini with prawns for mains and ended with pistachio tiramisu. Overall food was all good!

Food is ok, especially the Roman schiaciata, but service leaves much to be desired. As with other reviewers, I concur that the hostess (caucasian lady) and order taker (caucasian man) were particularly unfriendly. Maybe different staff are incharge of different dining sections. But if a customer flags out for attention, pls don't look away as if it is none of your business. Do help to alert your colleague at least.

Food was excellent ! Service was prompt n staff efficient , always with a smile on their faces ( Roxy and Sian) . Will be back!

Staff greet me and my gg once we enter the restaurant. Was guide to a table. Staff was friendly and nice to intro food of the day. Foods was excellent too!

Great food as always. And great service and knowledge by the staff there as well. Always able to help make good recommendations for you in case you are unsure of what you want to have. Very nice ambience as well.

It was very crowded and even needed to queue if go without reservation because of TGIF. However Chef Anna served customers personally! Had the seafood guazzetto again. So gooood.

Good authentic Italian food with reasonable pricing :) must try the 4 Flavours pizza - enough to share among 4 pax as appetiser. However venue is a little ulu and restaurant a little noisy. Too bad we over ordered and could not finish everything. But overall a good experience, will be back again!

Service was good but overall food was a little disappointing. We were expecting more after reading all the great reviews online. Tried one of the chef's recommendation- it was some pasta, nothing special, overpriced and the penne was undercooked. Calamari was a letdown. However the Porchetta, Assorted bread and Schiacciata were really good.

I'm impressed with the service and food. I will be one of the regular for sure! The guazzetto is sooooo great and contented. Make my day!

Good food and reasonably priced. We had the burrata, daily special secondi, pasta and desserts. The burrata was served with very sweet tomatoes and fresh arugula. Pasta was chewy and delicious, and the Baba was light and not-too-sweet. Good place for gatherings and family.
