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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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
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.
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
As i have to write 25 words where only a few words would be enough ..... simply the best Italian food in town ! Fantastico
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Lovely meal. What I like is their willingness to come up with alternatives. Truly, client entered.
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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!! ;)
The restaurant serves good authentic Italian food. I love the desserts. The place is cosy and quiet. I will definitely come back again with family and friends.
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.
Great italian restaurant with yammy food, awesome desserts and friendly service staff who knows their dishes well. I have visited iO 4 times and was never disappointed with the food or service. Keep it up!
Food is good, place, ambience and service OK. I find the pizza too thick and heavy though, but perhaps that's just because I prefer thin crust pizzas.
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 waiter was great at introducing the specials of the day and the food was good and hearty portioned. Service was great overall but the place was slightly warm apparently "due to the open kitchen".
Excellent food and the ingredients are fresh. Pleasantambiance and good service. This is my 4th visit but 1st time reserved on line, very convenient and user friendly
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.
Good food and service - staff were very knowledgeable about menu and wine and their recommendations were spot on. Mains were quite rich - would have preferred something lighter after the starters.
My husband and I came on a Wednesday and the restaurant was fully packed with diners! Had the pork belly and pizza and they were great!
Service was good and prompt. Special dish seaweed linguine with scallops and bottarga really shine. Farmhouse chicken is might be a bit spicy for some people so should highlight that.
