Io Italian Osteria Singapore

It’s always a delightful experience visiting iO. Once you step in you can see the busy kitchen where everything is prepared. From pasta station to the pizza station, down to the areas where cakes are made. Some may find the kitchen too open as there are no isolating glass panels to block off the remaining smell that escapes the exhaust fans, but I love it. The pork belly with dill is a must have for me (under starters). The bread in the picture is also a favourite; traditional stuffed Roman schiatta. Do note that the qr code on the menu can be scanned to reveal even MORE items on the menu. In my last last visit, I didn’t have a good experience with the coffees. I sat at the counter and saw the preparation. The shots did not seem properly calibrated and was running very fast. This MAY have changed.

Such a amazing experience and definitely blew all my expectations away. Wait staff were absolutely amazing, thoughtful, attentive and warm. Their food recommendations were spot on. I loved everything that we had ordered. Pictured are the margherita pizza, porchetta baked pork belly, meatballs in tomato sauce and the special which was braised pork. Will definitely recommend and will definitely return.

This restaurant is truly exceptional! The food is outstanding, and we were impressed by how quickly we were served, even during peak hours. We were fortunate to get a table without a reservation, but I definitely recommend making one since they are quite popular! We tried the grilled octopus, and I can confidently say it was the best I've ever tasted—so tender and perfectly seasoned! The baked eggplant parmigiana was a delightful surprise as well; the tangy tomato sauce paired beautifully with the soft eggplant. A special thank you to the service staff, who were remarkably attentive and friendly even with the bustling crowd. Hats off to the team for their hard work! We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu!

We visited as a family for a post-Valentine's Day celebration, and we had a fantastic experience. The food was exceptional; we enjoyed every dish, especially the Beer Braised Beef with Mashed Potatoes, which was our favorite. The customer service was excellent as well! The staff were all professional and friendly, particularly Jayson, who took care of us. We were also impressed by how quickly the food was served.

We visited the restaurant for dinner on January 10th and were served by Mega, who was extremely helpful and patient with our requests. Her recommendations were outstanding, and the dishes were served promptly. The pricing was just right for the quality of the food, which was delicious. The whole atmosphere of the place was lovely; it was busy but not too noisy. At the end of our meal, we ordered gelatos and were pleasantly surprised by a thoughtful gesture from Mega. We had a fantastic time there—thank you for making our dinner memorable!
