iO Italian Osteria - HillV2 (Singapore)

We had lunch at IO Italian Osteria at HillV2 and were really impressed by the quality of the food. The ravioli was beautifully made with great depth of flavour, the braised beef cheek was tender, and the truffle schiacciata was aromatic and addictive. Every dish felt carefully executed and comforting. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Mega and Jit were exceptional — warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. They checked in at just the right moments and made sure we were well looked after throughout the meal, and topped up our water regularly. All in all, a wonderful lunch with excellent food and standout service. A restaurant well worth a visit.

Second visit here! Absolutely love the service here (my servers this time round were Rajes and Mega), they were attentive and friendly. dishes were served promptly and empty plates were cleared away quickly as well. They also checked in with us to ensure that everything is good. Favorites are their pasta, schiacciata and braised beef. Tried other food this time round and The porchetta was delicious as well! Herby without the after taste of pork. Albeit we wished that the coffee taste were stronger for our caffe latte. Loved the atmosphere of the place as they had Xmas deco set up. It could get slightly loud during peak hours though.

Initially, I felt quite disappointed when the staff checked the reservation book and couldn’t find my name or contact number, which made it seem like I hadn’t made any reservation. It was especially shocking because I arrived happily at 8:00 pm on 27/12/25 to celebrate Christmas, and the place was extremely crowded with food stalls at peak hours. Thankfully, one of the staff members kindly rechecked my booking on my mobile phone and confirmed that the office had missed passing down the reservation. Despite that, they went the extra mile and made special arrangements to seat us. In the end, we had a wonderful Christmas celebration with great food and a lovely experience. I truly appreciate the effort from the staff and will definitely visit again 🎄😊

The good is very good! The pizza crust is crispy yet spongy inside. Toppings are flavourful too. The various croquettes were so crunchy and fried so well. The pasta was al dente, very fresh, and very flavourful. The Schiacciata bread is also very crunchy, wish there was more filling though. I also bought the meringue biscuit with hazelnuts and the biscotti biscuit with almonds and hazelnuts. $2.50 each. Very shiok! Service was ok. Customers tend to order takeaway and that clogs up the queue especially when customers have many queries on how the quality of food will be like after the delivery time (pasta turn soggy etc). The antipasti weekend special croquettes - the menu should have said there is beef inside. Especially for customers who don't eat beef.

Came to iO Italian Osteria (HillV2) for a Christmas dinner with friends, and it was such a lovely experience overall 🎄🍝 The schiacciata was absolutely freaking amazing - honestly one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. Crispy, fluffy, addictive. Please don’t ever remove this from the menu. I ordered the lamb leg - the meat itself was a little on the tough side, but I have to say the sauce was incredible. Super rich and well-balanced. If I came again, I might skip the lamb and explore other mains instead. Huge shoutout to Connie, our server. She was super friendly, warm, attentive, and genuinely made the night special. Service was absolutely top-notch - the kind that makes you want to come back even more than the food. Management, if you’re reading this: please give her a raise already 👏 Great vibes, great company, standout bread, and exceptional service. Will definitely be back.

Been here countless times, everything here is delicious. Jit was such a breath of fresh air. She is so kind and friendly, ensuring that everything went well. Lovely personality! My absolute fav is the stuffed Roman schiacciata and ribeye. 10/10 I tell all my friends and family to swing by and have the food here and they all love it! Keep it up !

Prochetta was not bad, crispy but a little sticking to the teeth. Burrata and prosciutto salad was average as the burrata not as wet as I would like. Spicy tomato mussel was very good. Perfectly cooked mussel, soft and went really well with the toasted bread. The sauce was the star of the dish. Lamb ragu pasta had the lamb flavours which was nice, pasta was very well al dente. Good wetness and seasoning made the dish a favorite. Gaunciale flatbread was not bad as well. Good seasoned cherry tomatoes but with too thin of a slice gaunciale, the tomatos stole the show. Our flat bread was a little over in the oven which made it crispy but tough to bite. Party had enjoyed the coffee and said they were good. Crowded for lunch and kinda squeezing between tables. Environment also getting a little dated. But overall, the food made up of any negative and definitely would come back again.

Is our first time here and we love the atmosphere and food here at Italian Osteria. We celebrate my parents birthday here and is such a beautiful experience. A Shout-out to Megan Wati and Connie who made us so happy and comfortable, top notch service. We shall come back again!

Gets Quite busy on a friday evening, do make a reservation before you make it there. Food is great, but you might not get attended asap since its busy. We had to wait 35 mins to get our drink, by which time we had finished out meal. But understandable it was busy, food was great and complaints there.

Authentic and hearty Italian food. Can get crowded on weekends so reservations recommended. I usually look out for the daily special on the board above the open kitchen. Staff is able to introduce the menu and make good recommendations.

I don't usually like Italian food, but this place is not too bad. I always have the pig's ears pasta for lunch here with colleagues, and have had a taste of other pasta dishes and appetizers here. While you can't go wrong with fried seafood or bruschetta with truffle paste, the food here is safe and on the pricey side. Meat and fish mains come up to about $30-$40 which I feel is pricey for the location which is very out of the way. Now that HillV2 has stopped their shuttle bus from my office to their mall, I doubt I'll be popping by on purpose for my Italian fix.

A bit pricey, but food is very nice. Porchetta, baked pork belly is a must-try. In-house baked bread and Italian street food are awesome. Chocolate lava cake is rich and yummy...

Can't believe that I forgot to review this when I had been going here for quite some time already. iO is definitely a hidden gem in the Hillview neighbourhood, but once you tried it, you would feel that the long travel there is all worth it. iO serve various italian offerings with some Chef Specials that is rotated every once in a while. My recommendation from their menu would be the meatballs and eggplant parmegiana for starters. They tasted really great that I have always ordered them whenever I'm around. Another thing you should get would be their pastas. Their pastas are just really good and I don't think it's commonly offered in other western restaurants here in Singapore. Other than that, you should try their Chef Specials. They are significantly more expensive than other offerings but it was well worth the price. If you happen to have a sweet tooth, maybe it's wiser to come down on weekends since they have more selections of desserts on weekends. Price, I would say were quite steep. However, it was all justified by the responsive and cheery staff (never before I encountered staff that would still make small chats with you in SG despite how busy it was), chef that actually bothered to go around and ask us about our opinions, great food and ambiance. Overall, I am happy to give this place a 5 stars. Good thing to note (as I believe others have reiterated countless times) is to reserve your seats beforehand, they're pretty busy around dinner time!

My wife and I had the salami pizza and some meatballs. It was very tasty and the price was reasonable. I think about $40 for a large pizza and the meatballs. You can have a bunch of tapas type small meals for about $8 to $10 each. The place looks cool and it was pumping full of people but the service was still friendly and fast. Didn't Get to try their coffee but I will be back to try that as it smelt awesome. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Quite a trek to get to, but may be worth the hike. The store front doubles as a bakery, and store also sells dried, bottled and canned goods. The ceiling to floor windows help greatly with making the place appear big, and inviting. The place is always full, lending a nice 'bustling' atmosphere. Despite this, the staff are all attentive and very friendly, with the owner and chef helping out with front of house from time to time. I personally recommend sticking to the 'street' type food - the pizzas and breads are good, especially the schiacciata. The starters and pastas are decent. The only secondi we ever tried over several visits really disappointed us and resultantly, have stayed away from them. So far desserts have been hits and misses! Generally a relaxed place to have a casual meal with friends.

Authentic, simple, good italian food. Good service. Only thing, it closes way too early--not Italian on that, but I guess they had to localize something! :-) Too bad for the location a bit off the beaten road.

What a wonderful contemporary Italian restaurant this is. Comparable to Jones the Grocer, this is partial restaurant and partial market. Situated in the trendy new Hillv2 mall, built underneath a Soho style condominium complex.

Awesome place! I am really surprised by this place given that it is located in such an inconspicuous place. I was there on a Saturday night and it was full (so be sure to make a reservation to avoid disappointments!). You can choose to order the pastas on the menu or opt for classics by telling them what you want. I would highly recommend the pesto pasta (not on the menu) which consists of generous servings of pesto sauce and parmesan cheese. Service was pretty good and I would highly recommend this place!

iO is a newer Italian place at Hill V2 in a gorgeous space overlooking the neighborhood. While it is mainly a restaurant, they also offer quite a bit of Italian goods for sale and the open space is seamless. As for the food, it's quite good with a solid selection of starters, pastas, and main. We started off with a couple of starters which were both awesome - the stuffed Schiacciata and burrata. The schiacciata was very tasty - bread stuffed with cheese and mushrooms with truffle flavor. The burrata was also quite good, as it was accompanied with prosciutto and greens, and we went for a double order for the table and had no trouble polishing it. We tried a few pasta dishes as well. The bigoli with seafood was quite nice, but the taglioni with walnut sauce was less accessible. The seared snapper was also solid, and next time, I would love to try some of the meat dishes as well. There is a short wine list, with an interesting choice for house wine, where a full liter will run you only $48. While it doesn't drink like a fine barolo, it's a great bargain, although I wish they wouldn't chill the red wine. Overall, while the prices may not seem very cheap, the portions are generous, especially when compared to my fave - Osteria Mozza. Definitely worth a visit and also with a larger group!

Wow - by far now our new favourite Italian and likely top 2 restaurant in all of Singapore. The atmosphere was awesome - loud, fun, friends having a good time and just felt like a house full of food loving people. The food was done to perfection all well within a good price for Singapore. We had various plates but the pizza appetiser with crunchy crust was over the top good and the mushroom bruschetta was outstanding. We will be back for sure as this is a gem in Singapore.

Fantastic food! I almost don't want to write a review because I don't wanna give this gem away.

Amazingly delicious pizza slices to go, friendly staff who answer all our questions about the menu and offerings, and even let us try their freshly baked breads and pizzas when we looked curiously. Their apricot pie was divine! Fresh ingredients and an in house stone oven they reheat the pizzas in before serving! I hate pizza in Singapore unless it's from O! Prices are a bit high though but can't say the quality doesn't back it up. def gotta come back fr their pastas

Was gonna order main on the menu, but the waiter recommended the "daily special", the Sea Salt Baked Sea Bass, claiming it was "much better" When the bill came, this daily special turned out to be $78. I would not recommend iO Osteria where so-called "friendly" waiters are deceitful in conveniently leaving off the price of a dish 3x more expensive than the dish we were about to order. There are better authentic Italian restaurants in Singapore that do not have to resort to such tactics to stay afloat!!!

An unassuming place, but true and authentic, amazing find and such a gem of a place. Try the bacon balls and the tomahawk, can't go wrong!

Without a doubt my favorite Italian restaurant in Singapore. Friendly family style setting great food and warm friendly staff. Only downside is parking can be quite troublesome on the weekends. My favorite dining option is to sit at the counter surrounding the kitchen watching the dishes come out and then dice ding which one I want. Have been here numerous times and never been disappointed

This is our favorite place to eat in Singapore. Fantastic food. Solid service. The place is always busy, which is testament to the draw of the food. Note that the car park is awful--frequently full with a long line of trapped cars waiting patiently.

Nice Italian pizza. We ordered medium sized pizza with 4 variations is way too much for two with its thick crust. I usually go for thin crusted but this is a welcoming change. compared to the ones I have at Tiong Bahru hip cafe, the cappuccino here are fair choice though not impressive. Good friendly ambience ! Very good free wifi service

Fantastic Italian food with dry food section ala Dean and Deluca. This area is beginning to be awesome for Italian with this and the more homely Cacio E Pepe nearby! It's like going out to eat at a remote village in Italy haha!
