Very delicious and authentic Italian food. Price is very reasonable for the good quality food. Very good customer service by Jason and his team of service staff. The male / female owners and his team of staff regularly checked in on us for our feedback on their food and service. Visited the restaurant for Dad's Birthday and Mother's Day Celebration. When requested for customized writings on the cakes, the team very gladly and kindly fulfilled our wishes although the restaurant was busy and packed with diners. A must visit when in Hillview!
Make a reservation before going and went in the sat afternoon to avoid crowd. The staff are all very proactive and service oriented. After you are seated, they served you free water. The pizza is the thick crust type and the ingredients are packed. The middle size can get you 4 different flavors so it's nice for sharing. The lasagna is packed with meat and quite soft. The pasta is a bit too soft but feel of basil when served. The roasted pork skin is very crispy but got a bit of porky smell. Overall nice ambience and service is good.
I did not make a reservation on a Sunday night at around 7.30pm, lucky for my wife and I, we were offered a table (we were advised that we would only get a bar counter seat and they normally do not do this).
Placed an order for our food and was served surprisingly quickly. However they served our beer braised beef (not photographed here) before our starter which was the stuffed flat bread dish. The food was really good and our bill ended up around 85 dollars for a starter, 2 mains and a lovely tiramisu dessert.
Service was good, waiters were alert and moved quickly. We had no issues despite being seated in a quiet corner. Overall this was a pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend making a reservation as I noticed several groups waiting outside the restaurant.
We went as family (for post Valentine's Day celebration)....Food is great, loved everything, and our favourite is the Beer Braised Beef, Mashed Potatoes. Excellent customer service! The staff are all professional and friendly most especially Jayson who served us! We are impressed with how fast the food are served! ❤👏
This place is absolutely FIRE 🔥 Impeccable food and the service was very quick despite us visiting during the peak hour! We were lucky enough to get a table despite not making a reservation (would definitely recommend making a reservation though because they’re very busy!)
We had the grilled octopus, and can i just say it was the best i ever had!! Super soft and tender, very well seasoned as well! The baked eggplant parmigiana was a surprise too! The tomato sauce was tangy, making it a fantastic pairing with the soft eggplant.
Would like to make a special shoutout to the service staff! They were especially attentive and friendly despite the crowd!! Kudos to the crew for their hard work! Hope they would keep it up! We will definitely be back again soon to try the rest of the menu!!
We were there for dinner on 10 Jan and were served by Mega, who was very helpful and patient to our requests. The recommendations that she gave were excellent and dishes were served fast. The pricing was just right for the quality of food, which were delicious. The whole place had a nice ambience to it, crowded but not too noisy. At the end of the meal, we ordered gelatos and were given a surprise, which was very high touch by Mega. We had a really good time there - thank you for making the dinner memorable!
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.
