oso ristoranate Review

daughter bought dinner @ oso on 28.10.2020.

nice decor and ambience.

focaccia bread soft & nice

beef carpaccio was good, sweet.

we ordered 3 pastas.

lobster pasta below average..lobster meat not done well, so not the standard of super tender, sweet, fresh delivery...pasta tomato sauce ok average...

sakura ebi tagliolini was tasty flavourful..

squidink risotto was cheesy, tasty ok just not enough squidink flavours

colour not black enough..did not have the creamy black texture most good pasta restaurants produce..basically like when i did not have enough squidink to cook my pasta or risotto.

belly pork was good serving also steep price at S$35..texture ok flavours average...

service was good & they offered a slice birthday cake

overall quite average food kind of underwhelming than expected for a good class restaurant

28.10.2020

Great place, nice setting. Staff is very friendly with regards to choice of food. They will give good advise if required. Good selection of fine Italian cuisine, with great selection of wine as well. My family and I all had different pasta and we enjoyed it very much. My son commented that the pasta was one of the best he has had. Side dishes were not too much and the desert was great as well. Recommended place to eat if you want a good dining experience in CBD area.

Refined tasty dishes, good service, friendly restaurant manager and chef-owner with a strong sense of humour.

Beautiful place, amazing food, live saxophone player playing good music, witty and witty staff, and beautiful looking tasty food... Splurge and indulge yourself and your loved ones just this once !!!

Great food and service. For the type of food they served, it was reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

Service & ambience is excellent. Ordered 6 course, the tartare, fish, beef & dessert are below standard.

A romantic place to go to for dinner with your loved ones.

Very delicious restaurant; recommendable stylish Italian restaurant

Very quiet and calm ambiance. I went there on Sunday night and I didn t need a reservation.
Customer service was good, maybe because the restaurant wasn t busy.
The restaurant was very quiet and not noisy. You ll enjoy a conversation with your friends or partner while having meals

I love the design of the new Oso. Food was great but small portion. Service that day was pretty average for the premium pricing. A wait staff tipped a glass of water and water spilled on me and my phone case which he did not apologize for. Another wait staff thank the guy on our table for "taking the girls out for lunch" and this is wild in this day and age.

Everything is great wine food and service. Love it there for a dinner with ex-wife.

Great food, impeccable service and a wine list that is a true pleasure. You must go

I had lunch at OSO during restaurant week. Food was above average and the chicken was perfectly good and the deserts were great.

Relatively exp for Italian food. U pay mainly for the atmosphere. Only finds that the tomahawk for main dish taste good. We had the pork cutlet and baked fish but the taste is so so.

Probably the most beautiful ambience & setting of any restaurant in Singapore. The food is truly a wow! experience and they have an amazing wine list.

Highly recommended to go here whether it s for business dinner, or a night out with family and friends for special location. One of the best restaurants I have been to anywhere in the world

First the place it s not that big, lucky i made a reservation so no need to worry because it was crowded. Me and my husband enjoyed the food It was great, nice ambiance, helpful staff and great wine of course! Very recommended for couple or romantic dinner!

I m also one of those surprised by the high ratings of this restaurant. My friend and I went during lunch recently and ordered their 3-course lunch menu, with one of us topping up $15++ for a beef main. But the quality of the food was More

Great food and great service. The truffle risotto is a must try, the rib eye is extremely juicy, one of the best stake I ever had.

The ambiance and service are excellent.
The presentation, very good, beautiful even.
But, the flavors let the presentation down a bit.
Definitely not bad, just a bit underwhelming.
The restaurant promised a lot, but the cuisine comes up just a bit short.

Excellent place, superb atmosphere, delicious food.

Italian fine dining. Classy ambience, with numerous regal chandeliers at the entrance and in the restaurant itself. Located at the 27th floor of Hotel Oasia but I don t think there s a window view in the restaurant.

85% dark chocolate tart had a good tart base but the chocolate filling could have been slightly less fudgy. Very well plated. Extensive wine list. Attentive service. Expensive.

Really good food. I still give it a five even though we found a worm in our salad. We understood that it's because they farm it themselves/or is organic. They immediately replaced it and the chef personally came out and apologized.

The Ravioli was like little UFO shaped pasta stuffed with veal swimming in cheese fondue. Awesome.

Perfectly reasonable prices with super friendly staffs.

Relaxing ambience (there was a saxophonist when we were there) & excellent food, but relatively pricey. Portions are smaller than usual, but good if you want to try a variety of dishes. They will split portions nicely for you if you like. We enjoyed their burrata and angel hair pasta.

Spectacular wine list. Variety of 5 continents. Pays tribute to Italy. Very well.

The food especially the starter bread are really good. I like the ambient, the light, very nice selection of music. I am surprised that they even have live saxophone performance. We went on Sunday , arrived on time for our reservation. The restaurant was not very busy that time, perhaps the manpower is not enough, we were not noticed our arrival, we waited for a while to get seated. It took a while to take our order and to get a bill too. It would be nice to improve the Service.

Decent Italian with steak options. Service was good but I was there for a business dinner on a slow weeknight. Nice ambiance but not intimate.

A really good Italian place with good food, friendly service, and a nice upbeat bustle. Definitely among the best Italian places in Singapore, and the prices are pretty good as well.

Very cool restaurant, we had the private dining room for a function. Good wine, food was good quality, service was polite and prompt.

Great Italian food. Amazing ravioli and good orecchiette, service very attentive

Wonderful Italian restaurant with attentive waiters. Ingredients used are imported. Presentation of food was beautiful and preparation was thoughtful. Ambience of the restaurant was relaxed and quiet. A good for for couples, families and business.

A new venue. We visit every time we come to Singapore. The food is always great and the new venue is fantastic. Lovely interior, lots of space between tables, live music and even more important, familiar faces serving the lovely food with warmth and professionalism. We will be back on our next visit to Singapore.

Atmosphere is good and food is delicious, too. I think lunch time was better than dinner.

Food quality is above average but not the beat at this price point. Service is good.

First time to OSO. Nice ambience, quality food and great dining experience. Special thanks to Mario for the recommendations and excellent service. Will definitely visit again. Thank you.

Amazing italian food relaxing ambiance good service
Highly recommend

Good meats- beef and chicken very tender & of course their pasta is great . A good choice for Italian - however a tad far for me as I don't live or work in this area.

Great Italian food and excellent wine selection. Friendly and knowledgeable service. On a busy Friday evening the place can get very noisy, otherwise, more intimate.

Visited with my wife last Saturday and had an excellent experience. The food was awesome, menu was comprehensive without being overwhelming and the wines we tried were all very tasty. The chef paid us a couple of visits to deliver food himself and enquire about the food. This is probably the best Italian food I've eaten in SGP in my 3.5yrs here. The slow cooked pork belly and lobster Fettuccini were both really tasty, the starters and desserts we had were also extremely good. The chocolate tart is a winner. My wife's only criticism was that she couldn't select the cheese on her cheeseboard. A small detail but worth considering for the restaurant in future. Looking forward to going back soon.

An Italian restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The $ 38 ++ 3 course for lunch is affordable and is also recommended for business lunches in a calm atmosphere. The distance to the next table is just right, so you can enjoy conversation without worrying about the next person. It's relatively crowded, so I think it's better to make a reservation in advance.

The service is good and the price for lunch is affordable. Definitely the place to go if you like truffle

Beautiful location, super chef and great food experience

Fantastic meal at Oso. Great service too. Their bread served is delicious. The cures beef tenderloin is flavourful. We ordered an extra truffle risotto and it s so good. The main: beef cheek melts in your mouth. The dessert: chocolate tart, tastes a lot like Ferro rocher. It s a pleasant dining experience.

Services so so, food quality - no surprise in taste, very blend

Ambience, food and wine was fantastic and the service level was top notch. Kudos to Stephane and Diego for running such a wonderful place. One of the best places to dine at in the area.

Love this place. Food is really good. Also nice admosphere.

I went to the Oso grillery a few years ago, and the food was great; I wrote an extensive review raving about it, and, at that time, I would say it was outstanding and overlooked.

The tide has now turned. I ve since then gone twice to this new location and the food has lost its touch. In my opinion, the chef belongs in the kitchen. Not in front greeting guests. Food has been over cooked each time. Oh how the mighty have fallen when they are lost in such hubris.

Great collection of wine and macallan dry aged ribeye. Top notch service staff.

Had the pork pasta from the ala carte which I thought was just average. The meat was pretty dry and tough for some reason. It was reasonably tasty though. And v good service and nice ambience. Shall go there to try the other dishes next time. Perhaps when they move to their new location at tanjong pagar

Disappointing, no longer good as before. Despite returning few times to give my taste bud another chance but last straw was the seafood set dinner which i feel there are more deserving restaurants.
Good ambience otherwise.
Wines are reasonably priced.

Came for restaurant week menu. Great deal for the 5-courses meal and top-notch quality of food. Staff are friendly and attentive. Love the truffle ice cream!

I can t believe why this restaurant got such 4.5 star high rank review. I took my girlfriend and visited there during our stay at Oasia Hotel. First there was a bug in the wine we ordered. I claimed to one of waiters about that and asked to change with the new one but he didn t apologize for it, just changed. Second no designated waiter or waitress on our table so we didn t know who to ask. Third, it was unable to charge the bill to our hotel room even the restaurant was on the top floor of the hotel. Fourth, they asked us tips even the service charges were included. No tip cultures in Singapore. In fact it was not worth 260 SGD which we paid just for 6 dish course and this terrible service.

Lovely setting, excellent table and waiting service and accomodating staff, and well presented meals.

Feast on the porcini soup, burratta inizio, stracci pasta with wild boar, filetto beef tenderloin... satisfaction guaranteed.

Stephane hosts and Diego feeds: Hell of a one two punch combo right in the heart of Tanjong Pagar.

Decor: Stylish, intimate, with great rooms perfect for hosting 10-20. Your guests will never want to leave.

For the mains, I had the milanese veal, and I realized part of the veal was uncooked. Made a comment to the waiter who did not apologize or do anything. Subsequently I asked for the bill, and when the bill came, there was still no apology and there was no service recovery. Asked the waiter again abt the uncooked veal, he then said Oh, yes still waiting for his "boss" to revert. Eventually my bill was given a 10% off, but still, no apologies nor did anyone come by. My aim was not the discount, but someone should have come over to at least attempt a service recovery. Will not go back even tho food was generally ok.

Incredible food and excellent service

Steaks and cheeses are to die for

Well done to the owner and the chef

The service provided by the staffs were great, food was well decorated, liked the pasta with white wine and pork belly.

Food was so perfect everything so tasty. Decoration was so nice and the staff are really helpful

Great service, great place and location. Food is not as good as it could.

Oso is a stalwart fine dining Italian restaurant in Singapore. I've eaten there a couple of times, on business lunches/dinners or cocktails at the private back room, and I can see why people choose this place. The waiters are unobtrusive, well trained and able to give intelligent recommendations on the spot i.e. ask you whether you prefer pastas, meats or fish and then suggest items based on your preferences

Perhaps the finest Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at outside of Italy (and including plenty in Italy as well). The staff were very courteous, the manager was present and ensured he spoke to every guest as they ate, and the chef made a point of coming out to greet people. Food was served quickly but I was never rushed.

The chef suggested I ordered the hot dark chocolate tart for dessert, and it was a great tip - I could eat it every night.

One thing though - if you're staying at the hotel (Oasia Downtown Singapore, also highly recommended), you can't charge the meal to your room so bring your wallet or purse with you.

It's quite an old school place and feels very dated now. It may have been an IT Place years ago but these days there are better Italian restaurants in Singapore to choose from.

Staff are very nice.

Had a lovely dinner with some friends recently. We didn't know what to order so just asked the waiter to surprise us. What a lovely surprise. The tomahawk is a must!

Very good table of Singapore, Italian restaurant par excellence.
A warm welcome, impeccable service and a cheese cave.
It's worth the detour ...

Fine italian dining. The food is nice, but the portions are small. And it is overpriced in my opinion.

The manager and chef are co-owners and evidently proud of their own establishment. We felt very welcomed here, with their personal visits to all tables. 2nd visit here, will definitely return for the exceptional service and honest Italian cooking. I seldom rate any place 5 stars, but Oso deserves 6.

Quality food with generous serving at a reasonable price. Great for business diners!

Decided to grab a mojito while I worked on my lappy at the bar counter of OSO. Ambience, fantastic. Temperature, perfect. OSO is definitely a fitting location for for an evening date. The cocktail was well made and met my expectations perfectly. For the rest of the evening, I decided to explore their wonderful dessert options.

My first pick for the night was the Gianduja, which was a milk-hazelnut chocolate tart with Frangelico liquor sauce. The tart had a smooth chocolate texture which went well with the crunchy hazelnuts. All of this, held together with a thin crust. The liquor sauce dashed on the plate served well to reset my palette. Absolutely enjoyable.

But what's more magical is the Miele that i ordered next. "Excellent choice sir", said the service staff, and truly excellent it was.

The Miele is a honey beetroot cake garnished with caramelized red wine. This item is served warm and I can promise you it is quite the way to end the night. Sweetness of the cake was not overpowering and cake texture and softness was oh-so-perfect. The cake goes really well with the caramelized red wine which also had its unique sweetness. This piece left me with a smile on my face.

Total bill for 3 items: $54

I typically find it hard to give a 5 star rating because there's always room for improvement. But OSO deserves this 5th star for the attentiveness and kindness that the service staff give to their patrons. Throughout the evening, I felt a great vibe from the environment, and from the staff. Everyone was polite and gave their best.

I was dining by myself tonight, but i would love to be back with my date in tow. Grazie OSO Ristorante.
