What to Expect

Counter Dining, Not Fine Dining

Not sio Aoyama transplanted. A casual counter pasta bar — 28 seats, in and out in 30-40 minutes. Think ramen counter, not fine dining.

Japanese Inflections, Italian Base

Mentaiko, salted kelp, white miso — folded into Italian bases. Clean, balanced, not heavy fusion.

Same Raffles City as Sushidan

Same basement as Sushidan, same J.A.P Dining Concepts. If Sushidan's S$19.90 omakase formula is any indicator, expect real quality at surprising prices.

Monthly Specials to Watch

Opening month: Mentaiko Pasta (S$16.90). Monthly rotation after. Follow IG for updates.

Expect Opening Queues

Michelin hype + S$13.80 + Raffles City = expect queues. Aim for late lunch or early dinner. Counter format = fast turnover.

Editor's Note

Pre-opening — honest expectations

We have not eaten here — sio pasta opens 26 March 2026. Pedigree is genuine, operator is proven, pricing is real. Risk: humidity affects pasta, 28 seats means queues. Cautiously optimistic. Will update after opening.
