LAVO Italian Restaurant And Rooftop Bar

I visited LAVO at Marina Bay Sands, located on the 57th floor. As expected from its top-floor location, the view is absolutely stunning. The nighttime skyline in particular is breathtaking and easily the highlight of the experience. The menu focuses on classic Italian dishes, with fairly standard offerings. Nothing too adventurous, but everything was solid and genuinely good. Despite the upscale image, the prices were more reasonable than I expected. If you value atmosphere and views over experimental cuisine, this is a very satisfying choice. I accidentally arrived about an hour late due to a timing mistake, but the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, which left a great impression. Highly recommended for a special occasion or for enjoying a memorable night in Singapore.

definitely worth the money. Best to book a dinner on the balcony as the sun sets (6:30-7:30pm slots) to maximize the stunning views of the city from different angles. As to food, I gave a 3/5 since it could be better. I’ve paid for less in some other restaurants which offer more delicious Italian food. For example, both the “the meatball” and the Seafood Fra Diavolo with lobster are both a tad bit sour and acidic (see pics) for our taste (could be different with others who prefer stronger tomatoe-y tastes.) however, the Bucatini carbonara and the salmon oreganato are our favorites to pair. The Carbonara is rich and flavorful, while the salmon is very soft and fresh. Overall, the food has generous portions which could be good for sharing. The staff were wonderful and not invasive.

My first visit was for dinner on April 2, 2019, and to this day, the memory of that evening remains vivid and cherished. I still remember making the reservation shortly after checking in at the Marina Bay Sands—a decision I was quietly pleased with. The restaurant is well known for its signature meatball dish, which is undeniably distinctive and visually striking—quite photogenic, in fact. However, while the presentation was impressive, the meatballs themselves were slightly lacking in juiciness, with a texture that leaned a bit dry. The salad was respectable and competently prepared, though it did not particularly stand out. The steak, on the other hand, was genuinely satisfying. The exterior achieved a beautiful caramelized crust through the Maillard reaction—lightly crisp with a delicate char—while the interior remained tender and generously infused with juices. Upon slicing into it, the aroma of the beef rose immediately and invitingly. It was, without question, the highlight of the meal. The ambiance deserves special mention. From the lighting and décor to the carefully curated music, every detail contributed to an atmosphere of romance and subtle mystery. Yet the true masterpiece lies outdoors: the breathtaking panoramic view of Singapore’s most iconic skyline. Situated on the 57th floor, the restaurant offers a sweeping nightscape that elevates the entire experience. If one is fortunate enough to be seated outside—weather permitting—the evening becomes even more exceptional. In all honesty, the cuisine alone may be described as good rather than extraordinary. However, when paired with such an unrivaled view, the experience becomes something memorable and worthwhile. Although the prices are undeniably on the higher side, I would still consider it a destination deserving of at least one visit.

Dining at LAVO on the 57th floor turned out to be a really lovely experience. The moment we stepped out onto the terrace, the views completely stole the show—especially in the evening when the whole city seems to sparkle. The atmosphere was vibrant and stylish, and with all the Christmas decorations around, the place felt extra festive and a bit magical. We were greeted warmly at the entrance and guided to the outdoor seating area, which made the start of the evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small tip: there’s a minimum spend of 30 SGD per person, so it’s good to keep that in mind. Making a reservation was very easy, though. You can book right on the ground floor of Marina Bay Sands, Tower 1, and the process is quick and hassle-free. For food and drinks, we tried the Marina Cool cocktail, Reginette seafood alfredo, chicken marsala, and the LAVO tiramisu. The seafood alfredo leaned a bit too salty for my taste, but the chicken marsala was genuinely good—tender pieces of chicken in a generous portion. The tiramisu is enjoyable, but be aware it contains fish gelatin (it used to be beef gelatin), so it’s worth checking if you have dietary restrictions. We also appreciated the complimentary bread basket that arrived shortly after we sat down. Overall, LAVO is a great pick for a memorable dinner with incredible views and a wonderfully festive vibe.

A unique, luxurious dining experience in an iconic venue on the rooftop in Singapore. Friendly service, a little slow at times but perhaps due to it being busy and having to adjust due to rainy weather. I loved the drink I had with dragon fruit. Our food was good. We enjoyed the focaccia bread in the complimentary bread basket very much. I had the meatball which was huge and had nice flavor. I would've liked some pasta to be offered with it. My wife enjoyed the salmon, particularly the chickpea salad that accompanied it. For dessert she happily enjoyed the tiramisu. I understand that for such a special venue and ambience the price will reflect it but I found it to be reasonable for such an establishment minus the lack of free water. The tap water in Singapore is already perfect, there's no need to charge $3 per person for filtered water.

The meal we had there is from January 20th - The view is one of the best in Singapore, at probably it’s most famous building. Ana was the best waitress. She went out of her way to make our 30th anniversary dinner a most memorable one. She spent a lot of time talking to us. The food is above average and expensive, but the rent that the restaurant must have to pay here must be ferocious, so I understand. We had a $9 bottle of water and 2 entrees. They gave us a free desert to split between us because of our anniversary. I think the bill was $110. If you have someone to impress, this is a good spot.

Restaurant is on the top floor of Marina Bay Sands right next to the famous pool. We were lucky enough to be able to reserve a private dining room which also had a private patio overlooking the bay. Not sure if we were so happy if we dined in the restaurant as it looked busy and noisy and not had the best views. Food is italian, everything we had was tasty and plentiful. The real standout were deserts which were all made for show. If you get a chance order their tiramisu and affogato. Given the location, quality and outstanding service I don't think the restaurant was pricy, for Singapore standards.

LAVO is located at the top of the iconic three towers of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. It’s an Italian restaurant with an outstanding atmosphere and truly exceptional views over the commercial harbor. The food was very good overall, and the cocktail menu offers a great selection with well-crafted drinks. The highlight is definitely the panoramic view, it’s impressive both during the day and at sunset. We requested a table on the terrace to enjoy the view, which we did, but we slightly regretted that choice. There is no shade at all: no umbrellas or covered areas. The sun is direct, and it gets extremely hot, which can be uncomfortable. Aside from this one drawback, it’s a great experience and a place worth visiting for the view, the cocktails, and the overall vibe.

The atmosphere at LAVO is breathtaking. Our server, Lalo, provided exceptional service by thoughtfully accommodating my allergies and ensuring my family and I felt well cared for throughout our visit. Every dish was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared.

We were expecting a bit more from a Marina Bay Sands restaurant. The design and decor is really beautiful and there is a wrap around outdoor seating area that must be lovely on a sunny day. We were seated inside next to a window that was blocked and had curtains up, so no view to enjoy. A maintenance man was doing work on the door next to us which was noisy and distracting the whole meal and the door kept getting opened and closed constantly shining the sun right in my eyes . We had multiple servers during the meal and weren't really sure who was taking care of us. The food we sampled was only mediocre, very small portions, and naturally very expensive. I had the burrata salad which was fine, but under seasoned and no where near as good as others I'd had in Singapore. I had the halibut special that was supposed to come with a pea puree. It was mostly a very nicely cooked piece of halibut on a plate with a tiny sauce drizzle. I was still very hungry after eating it. They were closing the kitchen before dinner so I had to rush order a gf pasta at the end of my meal. It was the bolognese which was also fine, but nothing I'd order again. The husband of mine had a truffle pasta that was primarily other mushrooms and he was not pleased with that either. I think the location is quite nice and perhaps with better seating we would have enjoyed that aspect more. The food I'm not sure what to say, on all accounts it was a bit pretentious but lacking in delivery.

Great location with a stunning overlook of the marina, perfect for a photos. The view is especially beautiful at sunset. The food is decent but nothing memorable: standard pastas, thin-crust pizzas, and basic appetizers. Portions feel overpriced for what you get. Come for the view, but keep your expectations modest when it comes to the food.

We had a lovely evening at the rooftop at Lavo. A friend had to create a membership to get us a reservation while we were there a couple of weeks ago. My daughter, who is studying there, joined us. We had a great view of the light show and the food was better than we expected for a restaurant more known for it's view than it's food. Our friend was also celebrating a birthday so they brought us a birthday desert to share! I had the scallops! The others had gnocchi, lasagna, and carbonara I think. I highly recommend a sunset reservation so you can see the view and the lightshow!

Really nice Italian restaurant in Singapore. Food was good, atmosphere and service were excellent. After dinner, you can go outside and enjoy the spectacular view of the city.

Food was ok. I ordered spaghetti con vongole and the clams were overcooked and chewey. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected from a high end restaurant. The meat ball however was super delicious and would definitely order this again. My husband ordered steak and he said that was excellent. My sister's pasta was also great. I must have ordered the wrong dish. The reason why I have a 3 star is because of the service. We booked reservations for an early dinner and asked if we can be seated outside. They declined and instead seated us in a small table for 6 people which was really crowded. When we left, the tables outside were still empty so they could have accommodated us. Our server was ok. She was average and had to flag her several times. She wasn't as attentive as what is expected in an expensive restaurant. I don't really recommend this restaurant. Give it a try for the views but make sure you are seated outside except when it's raining.

I'll give this place 3.5 stars. Vibes were dope and the view is amazing but the food to me didn't match. We got one of the chef specials, Lasagna with wagyu beef (6/10), which in theory should be amazing but it was just ok to me. We also got the calamari which was just ok as well. I might go again if I'm back in Singapore but mostly for the vibes and view only. Might have had a better experience if I set my expectations a bit lower because of how nice the restaurant is.

Food was great. Service was great. View was AMAZING! I recommend making reservations if you can. My only gripe was them asking if we were celebrating anything special during the reservation process (which we were - our honeymoon) but doing nothing to acknowledge the occasion.

Made a reservation for dinner to celebrate his graduation. What a nice venue. Because it was raining, the patio was closed for seating but they found us a table along the windows by the patio. We decided on black truffle gnocchi and linguine alle vongole with lavo tiramisu for dessert. Discovered that 'still water' means bottled Voss brand water. Note to self - order something else next time :) Lalo was our server and he was friendly and had jokes. It was a nice and relaxing dinner. The food was delicious although he decided he's not a fan of gnocchi. We enjoyed the experience and then we braved the drizzle and walked on the patio. Took some photos and headed out. The restaurant's logo was fun to take photos with as well. We could just see the pool area but it's off limits unless you're a hotel guest. We would certainly come back to dine.

One way to get around buying tickets to SkyPark Observation Deck is to eat at LAVO. One of three rooftop restaurants at the Marina Bay Sands. Unfortunately, it was raining hard the night we went to LAVO. The rain did eventually stop, but the outdoor furniture was wet, and we could no longer enjoy our dinner out on the balcony like we wanted. So, our party of 4 ate dinner inside. Dinner was nothing to write home about. Like I mentioned, we were here to check out the view. Nonetheless, the food was good, the portions of the pastas and salads we ordered were fair, and the prices, honestly, were reasonable. We were pretty satiated after that but decided we would order a couple of desserts for the table to share. One of them was the 20-layer chocolate cake. I don't know why we all thought this was the kind of thin crepe cake layers because it was not. This massive chocolate cake was so large that even with 4 people, we were only able to eat half of it. As for service, our server was very nice and attentive. In fact, all the staff members we interacted with were all very nice. After we wrapped up dinner and paid the bill, we went outside on the balcony to take in the beautiful panoramic view of Singapore's skyline, the Gardens by the Bay and the Dome of the Esplanade below. Even though it was dark, we could still make out the Merlion. We spent a good amount of time up there, taking photos and enjoying the view.

The cardboard tasting pizza gave me nostalgia for my high school days. But at least my high school cafeteria didn't charge $30+ and another $6 for water (but hey, it would be unlimited water!). The view is good if you're lucky enough to get a good seat. Seafood pasta also tasted bland, so maybe don't come here for the food.

View outdoors is lovely but outdoor seating is limited and accommodated on a best effort basis. We had put down a request for outdoor seating on our reservation but there wasn't an available outdoor table until after dinner for dessert and drinks. Indoor dining room was a bit noisy. Octopus appetizer and mushroom gnocchi were very good; tuna tartare appetizer was generously portioned but otherwise quite standard. American palates in the group thought that the chocolate peanut butter cake could have been sweeter, but still a fun dessert to share; tiramisu was enjoyed by all. Either valet parking at the hotel or self parking at the adjacent mall requiring some walking through the mall to get to the restaurant.

(3.5/5, rounded to 4) Lavo is seated on top of Marina Bay Sands, at the security entrance right before you enter the infinity pool. It's a perfect brunch spot with the family or a date spot if you go at night. Expect higher prices because you're in MBS and it's an international household name, but the portions are at least very reasonable. I wasn't a fan of the pizza as the flavors were lackluster but the two pastas were both excellent, al dente and creamy! I wish we had time for dessert as I was eyeing the layered chocolate cake as soon as I opened the menu.

My Singaporean Friend Invited me to have Lunch at this Restaurant. its on 57th Floor. We were acknowledge by the host soon as we approached the restaurant. We were ask to choose sitting area . To me anywhere has a great view. Regardless on where you sit. Soon as we got sat.. Our lovely Server who happens to be from Manila was cheerful. Knows the Menu well and good in Suggesting . Constantly checking on us. We ask for desert . Below me down...The biggest Desert I've seen ....Overall, I strongly suggest this Restaurant. Good view...Best Server..Good Menu Choices. Oh...No wonder ..IM a frequent Diner at their Lavo Las Vegas too... the PALAZZO...

This was a lively rooftop restaurant and bar at the Marina Bay Sands with gorgeous views. They had great music and just a great vibe overall. We made the reservations for the space alone and glad we did. Loved the ambience here, but the food was also wonderful. The service was a little inconsistent but it was also a busy dinner service during the holidays, so it was to be expected. It wasn't too extensive a menu but they had quite a few appealing items and the portions were all pretty big. The jumbo shrimp were certainly jumbo and very tasty. I really enjoyed the wagyu beef carpaccio, light and refreshing. The carne brick oven pizza was decent but nothing too special. The 20-layer chocolate cake was intimidating but totally worth it. We were pleased we were even able to finish 1/4 of the cake slice. Had some nice leftovers for late night snacks.

I came here to see the skyline views which were amazing. The balcony area is super open (didn't feel crowded at all), and we had a view directly next to the infinity pool. I was able to catch the last few minutes of the light show! I ordered a ginger beer, which came with a side of olives and popcorn. The popcorn was mostly unpopped, so I didn't eat much. The service was great and the ambiance was also unparalleled.

Such an incredible experience with one hell of a view! My husband and I popped by on a Saturday night and somehow managed to land two seats at the without a reservation. We did have a bit of a wait, but if you know anything about LAVO it's typically booked up weeks in advance - so do yourselves a favor and just make one NOW. The bartenders were knowledgeable about more than just the drinks and kept us entertained throughout our entire visit. We hadn't planned on eating but after some conversation we decided we couldn't pass up the 1lb meatball - and so happy we didn't! Aside from the food/drinks the atmosphere is fit for any event or celebration. I'd be lying if I didn't mention one of the best parts about this place is the incredible view you get from the rooftop deck.

Poor service yesterday and I left. The service was much better tonight. The food was plentiful and quiet good. The 20 layer cake and crab legs were expensive yet amazing! The checkin process was very long both days. The views are the best in the city. We got to view the lights show at 8pm and it was amazing.

Had a wonderful table, service, view, wine, appetizer (baby artichoke salad), main courses (seafood Alfredo and truffle ravioli) and dessert (tiramisu). Would absolutely recommend! Thanks so much Lavo!!!

I visited LAVO while I had a room on the Marina Bay Sands, on the 57th floor the view was absolutely amazing. Had a reservation for a late dinner and was seated promptly within 10 minutes of my reservation, the chic interior and breathtaking view out of the windows really made the experience so much better. The spaghetti carbonara was excellent, the creaminess wasn't too heavy with a good helping of cheese really made the dish enjoyable. Truffle fries were heavenly and would highly recommend any of you coming to dine here to pick up this dish, it comes as a big portion! All in all, the view is amazing, the food is good, and the interior is well thought out and decorated, service was top notch and everything was done in a timely manner!

The views from the restaurant are amazing! Great food and service. Great cocktail menu, the Vieux Carré was excellent. I recommend the sea bass with burrata for an appetizer. Wine menu is limited. Highly recommend a sunset reservation here to your visit to Singapore.

Food is delicious, the ambience is nice, loved the music selection and the service was nice!

A breathtaking view with decent food. We went here for a birthday dinner and arrived early to order a drink and enjoy the amazing views before dinner. I was craving pizza, but when we ordered, the waiter informed us there was no pizza - none! Maybe a glitch with the oven? The grilled octopus appetizer was super tender and lemony. The seafood Alfredo pasta was our favorite - rich, creamy sauce with fresh seafood. The sea bass was sadly bland - would not recommend ordering it. The staff and ambiance were all great. While I wouldn't go back for the food, I would go back for the views that can't be beat.

it's the first time visit to Singapore for some of us. Food and service are great. view is exceptional. i would have given 5 stars if not for the fact that there are no AC for the indoor tables. For a high end restaurant, i would have expected AC indoor, given the weather and humidity in singapore. we were sweaty and sticky from the heat so it wasn't comfortable.

Very disappointed in this location of LAVO. The hostess named Lily engaged in racism by letting in multiple women wearing flip flops and Birkenstock sandals and then told me I didn't meet dress coat in Birkenstock sandals. I don't know why she thought she could do this because the woman directly in front of me was wearing flip flops and next to me was another woman in Flip flops and one in Birkenstocks. I had also watched multiple women similarly attired enter without a word in the 20 minutes I stood in line. I pointed this out to her and she tried to act like she didn't notice I was literally surrounded by women in sandals. Eventually allowed in. I don't mind a dress code as long as I am not singled out. Also the food at this location was awful. Perhaps as an American I should not expect good Italian American food abroad. And we were seated in low couches with a coffee table for dinner so it was difficult to eat dinner and not fancy enough for a dress code actually. Our server was incredibly sweet though. But service was otherwise slow especially after his shift apparently ended. Do not recommend.

Lunch on the the top of Marina Bay Sands, excellent! Took a few pictures of the view from the outdoor area, but missed taking pictures of what we ate. I do have pictures of a half eaten lobster sandwich, fries and pizzza but decided not to post those :-). Visiting Singapore, it is almost a must to visit a bar, restaurant, on the the top of Marina Bay Sands. It is pricey, but the view is spectacular. The food and service was great also but took a back seat to experience/view.

This place is not good at all. It was the worse Italian food I had in a long time. The service was not great and he gave us a bit of attitude when we had to send back one of the plates that was just not up to the standard we expected from this restaurant. Observing the crowd I can see that people come here because of the name but do not be fooled. There much better places in Singapore. The view is nice and that is the only reason why it gets 2 stars.

An Italian restaurant with an incredible view of Singapore and the Marina Bayfront. For some reason the view itself here is one of my favorites at top the Marina Bay Sands. We had the seafood penne Alfredo, Tuna Tartare, Spinach Malfatti, and Brussel Sprouts. Drinks of course and for me it was a special occasion since it was actually an early Birthday dinner during my vacation. The service and atmosphere was perfect, the staff were so friendly and accommodating to us. If you've never had the opportunity to dine here, or anywhere at the Marina Bay Sands I suggest you do so, especially since you had a birds eye view of the spectra light show downstairs.

So here's the deal.. I've been to their Vegas location and had zero complaints but Singapore seemed to miss in several areas. We ordered four cocktails and one came out with bright red lipstick on the martini glass that was visible as soon as the drink was set on the table but apparently not visible to the bartender who made it nor the server who brought it to us. Typically this warrants a check in from a manager, something comped off the tab or at minimum an apology- we received none of the above. We got the meatball, a pizza and calamari to start. Meatball was amazing, pizza was mediocre and the calamari was flavorless even at $30- pro tip; a little salt goes a long way... We followed up with more drinks and when being served them the servers could not differentiate between which cocktails were which or who ordered what. Seems like no one is studying their menus here. For entrees we chose the gnocchi and white bolognese. Bolognese tasted like great value hamburger helper out of the box and the gnocchi was denser than a hockey puck. Overall the "vibes" of the restaurant were great and the view was unmatched but this place is nothing but a cash grab and I've had better service at my local McDonald's. Oh and, this meal was over $400- I would only suggest this place to my worst enemy.

Second time visiting an MBS restaurant, the first being Cé La Vi, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the drinks were well-made and refreshing, and our server, Lalo was wonderful! He was so attentive, made great recommendations, was very friendly, and generally made us feel welcomed - he even remembered I mentioned it was my first visit to Singapore, so our dessert could be extra special!! We came for an after-work "dinner," and ordered a selection of appetizers but the standout was definitely the meatball, which was flavorful and tender in addition to being a unique presentation. We all got different drinks, but the dragonfruit cocktail was a favorite. We finished off with the chocolate cake which, while impressive, was a bit rich/sweet for my coworkers (as an American, I didn't mind the chocolate and peanut butter combo, or the sugar rush)! Food was amazing, view is unbeatable, and our service was exceptional! Well worth the visit.

Definitely over priced, the 1st day I had the tuna tartare and it was good but not great and I had the eggplant rigatoni as an entree. The rigatoni was el dente and very tasty but definitely over priced and yes I do realize that I am paying for the view but how about a little bread with olive oil as something to start, I doubt that would break the bank. Today I am having the beef carpaccio and it is really very dry, I mean like shoe leather, so I am again underwhelmed. For an entree I am having the chicken parmesan and it is absolutely delicious but the presentation is so boring!Just a slab of chicken covered in cheese and no side of pasta. I would have to say the flavor is a 10 but the presentation is -10. If you're dropping over $200 for chicken parmesan and a couple of drinks you should at least be offered a little bread and pasta. That being said, the chicken parmesan is outstanding but I'm pretty sure you can find better Italian for the money in this city. Just saying.

This is in my drafts. I don't remember where this is or what I had but apparently I loved it. I just want to post this review so they at least get their stars.

It costs 25-30 Singapore dollars to go to the observation deck of Marina Bay Sands. At that price, it seemed like a better deal to have lunch on the 57th floor at LAVO. We made a reservation for Sunday morning which wasn't necessary as there were a lot of tables available (though it was raining that morning). You aren't able to see entirely around the floor since the other side is the infinity pool but you're able to get a 180 degree view around the perimeter of LAVO, including a access to stationary binocular viewers. The view is beautiful and well worth a reasonably priced meal at LAVO. My dad was happy to see an American-type brunch option with three eggs, toast, home fries and a side of bacon. My mom and I each ordered pastas - the penne carbonara for me and the spaghetti with basil for her. The portion sizes were quite large, and everything was well-prepared.

Ok, if you're in the Singapore area and wish you dine at the famous Marina Bay Sands, then come to Lavo! Their Italian food is hearty and their city view is absolutely spectacular! You must have their signature wagyu meatball and well as their bone in ribeye steak. Another favorite of mine is the burrata appetizer....absolutely delicious and refreshing. Located on top of the ship, it is one of the only restaurants you can eat at being "On Top of the World"! Our server Lalo Louise was spectacular and attentive! He's a well travelled man and can memorize your whole order and well as the names of your dinner guests. If you still have room after your meal, make sure you order the high stack chocolate layer cake! Be sure to share as this is way too much for any one person to eat. Be sure to hang out in the patio balcony to take in the stunning sites after as it's really the highlight of the place! Overall, the food, the service and view truly makes Lavo so memorable that it will keep you coming back every time you visit Singapore and experience the "Crazy Rich Asian" movie experience! See you here!

Food quality & taste were nowhere close to what they charge!! Portions tiny, but wouldn't mind paying if the food was decent. Sea Bass was disgusting, tasted like a thick cut of dry talapia left on the grill!! I'd leave a negative Star if I could!

Amazing food, views and service! They even congratulated us for our recent wedding. It was an overall amazing experience. I ordered the lobster roll and it was to die for. Wife ordered spaghetti and she loved it. Will definitely go again! Mojitos we're great too!

Gorgeous city views, you definitely should come here for the view and maybe sip a drink while doing so (skip food). We had salad, sandwich and truffle fries Truffle fries and salad were okay, sandwich was mediocre, tasteless and dry. Food and drink were a tad expensive ( $12USD for a bottle of peroni ) but REMEMBER you are paying for the location. Service was pretty sluggish and not very friendly, we felt rushed the whole time even though place was nearly empty. Be aware they charge 10% "service charge" to all checks and believe it or not our waiter told us they don't get it, Lavo takes it all. Interesting! Hey! Lavo, service charge should go to the servers!!!!! Thank you

Awesome place for drinks if you don't want to deal with the crowds at another bar on Marina bay sands.

This hotel was described to me as a MUST SEE in Singapore and one of the most iconic hotels in the world. We decided to get a meal on the roof top per a recommendation since the popular infinity pool is strictly only open to guests. You can not even see the pool from were it is gated off. While the recommendation was much appreciated the experience was underwhelming and the restaurant on a rainy day was over priced and over rated. No "wow" factor at all. Travel tip- Seeing the hotel itself is a must see. I recommend going to the botanical gardens before hand, and walking your way over. You get a lovely view on the bridge between the gardens and the hotel of the hotel, and the Ferris wheel. We arrived at Lavo between lunch and dinner and went for a drink. Since it had rained the patio outdoor seating was understandably closed there was only one tiny area off the side of the restaurant that you could see the view outdoors. It was down a few stairs and big enough for maybe 6 people to stand... and filled with smokers so we could not stay to enjoy it. The majority of the restaurant was indoors and on the top floor, but not what I would consider "roof top" as there was a roof above us. The name is questionable. It was just like any other restaurant in a high rise. Nothing special, or different from any of the hotel bars in Chicago. I ordered the Dragon Aperoyl spritz. It was very good. It was a $25, and they included nearly $5 in service fees so $30+ total for one drink. (That's quite a required tip for one drink.) All mixed drinks were $25. Wine ranged from $30-$48 a glass. Beers including Heineken and Guinness were $12, coffee was $8. Service was slow to give us the menu, but quick to take my unfinished drink and wipe down the table after 15 minutes before we were ready to leave. In general I do not mind paying $30 for a drink if it's an experience. But there was no experience. No wow factor. No roof top. Not even really time to sit and relax our legs from walking all day through the gardens. Price point largely dictates the expectations for my star ratings. A hole in the wall food stand with $3 pancakes is a different scale than a $30 per drink cocktail bar. If drinks were even $20 each my star rating would have higher, but at this price point I expected a LOT more... like a roof top. Over all the spot is Basic. I would would not make a point to see this spot. If you have time then it's nice. Over all the restaurant was lovely. Modern vibe and interesting drink menu typically 4 star hotel bar. It was not the Uber special iconic luxury that I was expecting, or that the price point warrants.

This is why I LOVE LAVO!!!! The Best View ever. Delicious drinks. Wonderful Service. Great Happy Hour. Inside and Outside seating area. I hope I can visit you soon!

Great for the views atop the Marina Bay Sands and the "lavo" tiramisu. The food and drinks were not bad, but also not the best. It's on the other side of Ce La Vi and for the more mature crowd if you know what I mean. Come here for the views and don't forget to check out the telescopes on the balcony!

View from 57th floor was fantastic! A must purchase is " the meatball" to share!!! Excellent service.

My husband and I live in the US and were in Singapore to visit family and friends. We went to LAVO to celebrate our 12th year anniversary. The view was amazing and what saved this rating. We ordered lamb chops (medium rare), with fries for me and mashed potatoes for him. The chops had more fats than actual meat and came with the most undesirable sauce ever. The fats could be rendered more. We asked our server what sauce it came with and was told it was steak sauce. It was mighty sweet and didn't complement the lamb at all. She offered to bring us a different sauce and gave us a few options. I was disappointed that the options were either chimichurri, bearnaise or horseradish cream. I was hoping for something minty as that would complement the lamb tremendously or a red wine/port wine reduction sauce. So we ended up choosing the chimichurri and the bearnaise sauce to try out. The lamb tasted much better with the chimichurri than the original sauce it came with. Shouldn't the chef know which sauce to pair it with? Since we paid SGD88 for each plate, we expected much more. The other saving graces were the truffle fries and the desserts. My husband ordered the twenty layer chocolate and PB cake, while I ordered the panna cotta. Both were delectable. Overall, we were happy with the view, service and desserts. I wish I had ordered the barramundi instead.

Seriously disappointed. Seating area looks like a cheap buffet, right next to each other!

Sooo - great views , great drinks , mediocre food ... the lobster bisque was a super disappointment . And the pizza was ehhh . The asparagus side was delicious! Overall , a good place for the view up top , but know that dining there isn't necessary . Ideally get an app and drinks at the roof top !

This place sits among the top 10 worst restaurants I've been to. For the price and location you'd expect more... but perhaps because of the location they just don't care. First off, we made reservations for a Saturday night. It was busy but not overly crowded. We were seated at exactly 8:30p though we had arrived a few minutes prior. Menus were dumped on our table quickly and the person who seated us immediately left. No waitress or waiter came by for 20 min even though our menus were closed. We had no water or anything. We then finally gave up and flagged someone asking for our waiter and she said "I can be your server!" We asked for drinks and she rudely and immediately said to hold on... do you want sparkling or still water? Um ok, fine. She took our orders and asked twice if we had allergies to anything. Less than 5 min later, we got water and drinks. And bread with marinara sauce. A minute later...our pastas. That's right. We got all of the food we wanted in 5 minutes. There is no way my pasta was made fresh to order and we suspect that asking multiple times about potential allergies was a way to give plates already made to diners who had no special needs or requests. This isn't necessarily the restaurant's fault but because the food came so quickly we subconsciously ate it quickly, so I felt overly stuffed to the point of feeling uncomfortable. My pasta was cooked al dente but tasted pretty average and certainly not worth what we paid. Our waitress didn't check on us except to ask us if we wanted parmesan. We again had to flag her down for the bill. We were so frustrated and annoyed that we took the option of just putting it on our hotel room bill instead of paying by card since it would be faster. I looked at my watch when we left. It was 9:37pm. That's right, for a relatively upscale place, we were the for 1hr and 7 min for dinner, a third of it spent waiting to just order food. This place is terrible. Avoid. Bad service and average food really ruined our night.

Food, service and views were excellent!! Perfect location for seeing the night shows!

I have tried to make a dinner reservation for a group of 10 people on Sunday evening. They wanted a "minimum spending" of $200 each person. This is crazy considering their typical a la carte menu item pricing ranges from $30 to $60.

Great views, nice to have some familiar foods, and everything tasted great. The meatball was excellent, and the 20 layer cake was good but def share it bc it's about 4 slices of cake in one!
