Our aperitif started with the Crispy Golden Seafood (260 THB) consists of prawns, fishes and squids, served with garlic sauce and spicy sauce. The seafood combination was so fresh that it reminds us of scents of the sea.
Unlike any other pizza experience, we tasted Chef Anna’s signature large size of pizza (720 THB). The pizza was a mixed 5 different toppings full of robust flavors served on a huge plate.

Our mouth-watering meal continued with a Risotto Scampi (520 THB), Smoked Grilled Mozzarella with Parma Ham (420 THB), and Tagliolini prawns (330 THB). iO’s popular and highly recommended main courses is Porchetta, a pork belly recipe from Ariccia, slow-cooked and stuffed with black pepper & wild fennel, served in the size of 150 grams (190 THB) or 340 grams (340 THB). It’s crispy on the outside and meaty on the inside, making it hard for us to put our forks down.
We also tried the soul of Italy – a famous dessert true to its sweetness, the Pistachio Tiramisu (290 THB). What a creamy delicious treat.
