Nearest MRT would be Hillview MRT and it takes about 8 minutes to walk to HillV2. Plenty of dining options at HillV2, and my boss recommends us to try IO Italian Osteria.
Reservation is recommended as the place gets pretty crowded during lunch.
My boss said the must-try here, is the truffle bread. Indeed, as most tables seemed to have chosen this starter.

I thought the bread tasted like foccacia and I'm not wrong. So apparently these two breads are similar but schiacciata does not require a lengthy process. Crispy bread and toasty truffle cheese, makes it a popular choice.

| Angus beef carpaccio, parmigiano shavings @16 |
Our next appetiser is the beef carpaccio and the version here, tasted light and healthy. Lovely with wine, but we didn't have any.
I was curious about old Italian style baked eggs, so we ordered one. Little did I know, it came with truffle cheese as well. Talk about cheesy overload!

Served piping hot, and I think it makes a good brunch dish. Just don't order too many cheesy items at one go.

And for 2 pax, I don't recommend ordering more than 2 appetisers.
We shared one main course; Octopus pasta in marinara sauce. The staff recommends penne for this.

Plenty of octopus chunks in there. Savoury and flavourful. We were pretty stuffed at this point.
But, I needed to try the dessert. Ordered their pistachio tiramisu to try.

| Latte @$6 |
If you like milky latte, then you'll like the one from IO Italian Osteria.
Thank you boss for the treat!
