The food was made with fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. The Italian street food was tasty as were the sorbet and gelato deserts. The high bay indoors provided a spectacular view of the surroundings while we enjoyed our lunch. We eat together with three children and they all enjoyed the delicious Italian food. We would definitely come back to this place again.
Excellent food and great service !!! There were lots of variety on the menu... including lots of dessert like cakes n cookies to choose from.
Appetizers are good here. Nice quiet restaurant with good ambience. Will not go wrong getting the pastas here. Good variety on the menu. Will definitely return again soon.
Great experience and wonderful food, once again! Family friendly too, especially with them accommodating our 2 young kids. Looking forward to our next meal there...
Wow! The service tremendously improved. The Chef Anna even called me before I paid the visit to let me know what can I have in this restaurant to avoid the allergen. From the stuffed roman schiacciata with oozing mascarpone cream and strong truffle taste/smell to the seafood guazzetto that contained salmon, calamari and scallop- YUMMMM. Savoured the moment. ❤️❤️❤️ #rocambolesco 🙇🏿♀️🙇🏿♀️🙇🏿♀️ I'm planning to go back very soon!
Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.
This was my third visit and it was a good experience, my guests certainly enjoyed it too. Excellent and professional service, good menu choices, interesting wine list. definitely worth another visit.
Been to iO Italian Osteria a number of times now and really enjoy the food here, plus service is great! Kid-friendly and food comes out quick which is helpful when dealing with young ones!
Ordered 2 starters, 1 main and a dessert for 2 pax. Really enjoyed the food! Would recommend 4 people coming here to try out more food together. We ordered the Porchetta which we really liked. The skin was crackled to perfection. Highly recommended. The pistachio tiramisu (no longer in a jar) was good! Slightly to the sweeter side. Recommend to share. Atmosphere can be a little more to the noisy side due to families being there.
From starter to antipasti to pasta to main to desserts. All of us enjoyed a lot with the white wine Gavi. More to go please.
Authentic italian burrata and other great dishes. portions are generous and price ok. all very good with good service even if very busy. will go again
Food wasn't very fantastic and quite pricey. Foodwas fresh but perhaps just not to our liking. Service by staff was great though. Overall a mediocre meal.
Great and homely Italian food. Love it here. The service was good too. The service staff to customer ratio is good, the food came quickly as well.
We had a table by the full length window which gave lots of natural lights. My daughter was happy as all the food photos turned out very well. Food, especially lava cake was great. As we ordered too much pizza, didn't have room for mains. Will try it next round.
Service was not very good. Initially they didn't have our reservation in their records and I had to show them my record as proof of my reservation. No apologies nor even a friendly smile. Difficult to get the waiters attention to get served. Food good but do not recommend to visit during weekends
I had a great time there. Service was attentive and prompt. The food was very good too as the ingredients were fresh. I am looking forward to my next visit there.
I love the buzz in the restaurant , friendly staff with delicious food. Will return for more and definitely will recommend friends over to this lovely place.
Reserved a table for two. Food and ambience was great! Service crew were prompt and polite. Got a window seat, me and my partner both enjoyed ourselves.
Food was great just that the timing of the food service (the mains) was not well coordinated. We were a table of 3 pax. 2 of us got of mains first and we were half through the mains when they finally serve the mains for the remaining guest. It would be nice to be told in advance if any of the dish would need to wait longer.
The most affordable and nice restaurant around bukit timah area the dessert is nice as well ,I love the trimisu and the pizza so much.
Service was good. The food in general is fine, but it is a pity that they do not serve good pizza. Interesting menu but prices on higher the end.
The food was great. The atmosphere was wonderful. The Italian style pizza is a must try. Don't forget the dessert, there was a wide range of cake selection.
Good food. However they didn't know of my special request for window seats although stated in Quandoo. After telling them a couple of times. I finally got my window seats. Overall, a pleasant experience with good food, ok service
Good service from restaurant, good food, visited many times which does not failed to satisfy me. Thumbs up for the restaurant! will visit again to try different food!
As i have to write 25 words where only a few words would be enough ..... simply the best Italian food in town ! Fantastico
Great food and fantastic service! Reasonably priced as well. Restaurant was packed despite it being a Monday, best to make a reservation before heading down.
Tables are a little tight and too close to each other but good food overall. Host was patient and waiters were fast and attentive. Try it out.
Nice intimate restaurant but food is not as good as what it is hyped to be. However it's affordable and a nice environment to be dining at
Was there for dinner with a friend.fresh italian food with reasonable price, awesome ambient. we ordered pizza & paste to share , love their hazelnut chocolate cake :)
Very special designation. The food is really nice and pork belly is highly recommended. I also like the homemade bread. Will introduce to my friends and visit there again.
Ambience, food & service - More than exceeded my expectation. Authentic Italian fare. I had the pasta and it was interesting. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely visit again - this time to try the Pork Belly & the Seafood platter.
IO Italian Osteria never fail to disappoint me. Service was great. Food was great. Ambience was great. Love their breads/ pizza. Lots of variety from the menu.
Authentic italian restaurant with the aroma of scacciata and various breads. Foods are awesome and in a way unique to the restaurant. Will continue to visit and try different items on the menu.
It is an authentic Italian restaurant,food is great,especially Tiramisu cake .staff here is considerate. The price is 30++ per person. Overall,I recommend it to people who is Italian food lover.
This is my favorite restaurant in Singapore for italian food, thr quality, price and the service is something the people must try. From the starters until the dessert and coffee is great, if you want a proof try to go with out reservation. This is a place with a word must, if you are looking for the best.
Ambience is great. Food is delicious, especially the bruschetta. Chicken was tender but a bit undercooked. Staff was impeccable. Would recommend to friends and family.
The food is fantastic and authentic, especially the pizzas. The pistachio tiramisu is excellent too, by far the best I have ever tried. However, the classic pastas are a bit pricey and not worth ordering.
Great food and often has new menu. Service staff was quick and able to make recommendations! I have always gone back there with visiting guests.
ambience, service were excellent. food was not bad but a little bit on the salty side. prices are also a little steep, but i could guarantee this was a genuine italian experience because the chef and the service staff were italians.
Food was excellent! Service staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our date night at italian Osteria. Looking forward to our next meal there!
Good food, reasonable prices. Will definitely go back again to try their specials. Service could be improved but they are packed so it can be excused.
Lovely meal. What I like is their willingness to come up with alternatives. Truly, client entered.
Food was great! We were also well served by the warm and friendly waiters at a good pace. They took the initiative to recommend desserts, starters etc. We had a nice complimentary cake received for our kids too. Thank you for the great dinner!
Best Italian Restaurant in Singapore so far (believe me, I've been to quite a few)! Stars of the night were the porchetta, burrata and the assorted pizzas (the crust was fantastic!). Service was impeccable although the place was packed to the brim. :) Definitely revisiting and bringing guests there in the near future.
If you like great italian cuisine in a less formal but still lovely setting, pick this place. Ask the waiters for recommendations if you're stuck deciding what to eat; they'll also tell you more about the daily specials that aren't on the regular menu.
Very nice environment and the service was excellent! The food was great and the portion given was just right! Would definitely come again! Thank you!!
food was good but place was too crowded and noisy. they should have a room for groups of more than 10 people. we were 2 pax seated next to a group of maybe 30. We couldn't even talk because the guests were so loud and rowdy. So we didn't stay for desserts and adjourned to another place at Hillv2 instead.
Bread was very good. Atmosphere was nice and the service was reasonable. Although the wine selection per bottle was nice, it was way overpriced. We asked for a classic pasta, very simple and traditional. However, the garlic used was not fresh. It was difficult to eat. I might give it one more try but I will not buy another bottle of overpriced wine.
Chicken was too salty (for the second day in a row) and a tad oily. Otherwise, service was good and the food for the rest of the other orders were good.
The staff can be more attentive to diners and look out for diners who require attention, food was good at the price. Lovely ambience in the restaurant.
Lovely place, lovely service, lovely people. Great service hosted by an Italian lady, gave great recommendations and explained the food they had to offer with much details, although I've to admit I got lost in her accent several times. A pity we didn't get to try much since it was only a party for two and the food is pretty filling. I'd recommend the schiaciatta, porchetta and the lovely biscottis available at the bakery, truly a true blue, rare Italian dining experience! Downside is that the menu had zero pictures so it's difficult to know what to expect, local service crew barely knows anything about the food, and almost always had to seek help from the Italians for explanations, Also the lamb ragout pasta and truffle and mascarpone schacchiata was really rich in flavoring and very much of a one taste dish, so it can be really too much for two to share, would encourage people to bring more friends along and order more food to share!! ;)
