Authentic Italian Osteria in Singapore Serving Amazing Italian Fare!

Did you know that the word “osteria” comes from the Latin word “hospitium,” which means “a place of hospitality”?

This term originally referred to a place where travelers could rest and find nourishment, but over time, it became associated with small, local restaurants that served simple and hearty food.

In fact, many osterias in Italy are still family-owned and operated, and they often serve traditional regional dishes made from locally sourced ingredients.

Today, the tradition lives on in many Italian osterias, including iO Italian Osteria in Singapore 😉 where you can experience the warmth and hospitality of this time-honored tradition for yourself.

With fresh in-house bakery products, house-poured wines, and authentic Italian cuisine, you’ll feel transported to the heart of Italy without ever leaving Singapore.

Full disclosure: me and my hubs enjoyed dining here when we were still staying around Hillview, because the food was genuinely good and is really authentic – you’d definitely recommend it to friends!
