Traditional Italian restaurant

io ltalian osteria

"iO Italian Osteria", an authentic Italian restaurant, has branches in Europe, Singapore, and Thailand, and also provides Italian cuisine from 20 regions. These dishes use simple but fresh ingredients. Chef Anna Borrasi is very well-known in Thailand. Before opening her first branch in Central World shopping mall, she was a talented traditional Italian female chef, and many customers came here because of her reputation.

When you first walk into iO Osteria, it's hard to tell whether it's a pizzeria, deli, bakery or bar - it outlines the four sections. The front door is dominated by a long counter stocked with freshly baked bread and pizza laid out in classic Italian style. Walk a little further and you'll find the open kitchen, where a team of energetic chefs are busy slicing and cooking the restaurant's signature dishes.

The open kitchen, decorated in a rustic Italian style, perfectly overlooks the cooking process, next to a small water bar and above the shelves stocked with quality drinks from around the world, most of them from Italy. Wooden chairs, tables are handmade from marble. Knives, spoons, and forks are all made of copper. The photos on the walls tell the story of Italy like a movie, and the pictures representing Italian food culture are decorated to create an atmosphere and a story similar to eating in Italy.

Signature product recommendation

Roman-style roasted pork

Porchetta

Pork rings that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside are marinated with Italian spices. Garnished with fennel and black pepper, paired with a mustard dipping sauce that leaves it soft and juicy in your mouth, this is a dish that cannot be ignored and must be ordered.

Homemade Tagliolini

For those of you who love spaghetti, don’t miss the handmade spaghetti, with prawns, lemon and aromatic Breaded (330 baht), the noodles are mixed with a delicious sauce and tiny shrimps are added for extra flavour. Topped with prawns, the flavor is rich, the sauce is rich and the pasta is soft, just right.

Seafood Guazzetto

Warm toasted bread with semolina and garlic and paprika before frying until crispy, perfectly paired with minced garlic The croutons and sweet and mellow seafood stew stimulate the taste buds while maintaining the freshness and sweetness of the seafood.

Assorted Pizzas

The appearance of this assorted pizza is obviously several levels higher. The cheese is very fragrant, and the pizza ingredients are meat and vegetables. It’s perfect. The bottom of the pizza is baked to a soft and fluffy texture. The baking method is very professional, with a little burnt flavor and a very fragrant taste. I like their pizza so much~

Pistachio Tirami Pistachio Tiramisu

Pistachio Tiramisu

How can the classic Italian dessert not include tiramisu as the finishing touch after the meal, but the ingredients used in this tiramisu break the traditional method , add pistachio ingredients, keep the rum and coffee classic, and sprinkle some matcha powder to relieve greasiness. The milk is rich and melts in the mouth. It has a slightly sweet and delicate taste. I want to order more, but look at my belly. Forget it~

Wine Tasting

Italians usually pair their meals with wine. iO Italian Osteria has two high-quality wines imported from Italy. And it is self-fermented. Chef Anna’s list of recommended recipes says that it tastes better when placed in an ice wine barrel, the taste is clear, and it goes perfectly with food. As for the beer, it's no slouch either, the draft beer here is very refreshing. Cocktails come in two international flavors, as well as Italian-style cocktails made by bartenders that can only be enjoyed here.

Even though the menu may seem small but Anna intends to enhance the unique tasting experience with special menus every month, for the past 4 years Anna has been offering special menus at iO Italian Osteria that are never repeated, constantly.
