LAVO Italian Restaurant And Rooftop Bar

I visited LAVO at Marina Bay Sands, located on the 57th floor. As expected from its top-floor location, the view is absolutely stunning. The nighttime skyline in particular is breathtaking and easily the highlight of the experience. The menu focuses on classic Italian dishes, with fairly standard offerings. Nothing too adventurous, but everything was solid and genuinely good. Despite the upscale image, the prices were more reasonable than I expected. If you value atmosphere and views over experimental cuisine, this is a very satisfying choice. I accidentally arrived about an hour late due to a timing mistake, but the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, which left a great impression. Highly recommended for a special occasion or for enjoying a memorable night in Singapore.

The meal we had there is from January 20th - The view is one of the best in Singapore, at probably it’s most famous building. Ana was the best waitress. She went out of her way to make our 30th anniversary dinner a most memorable one. She spent a lot of time talking to us. The food is above average and expensive, but the rent that the restaurant must have to pay here must be ferocious, so I understand. We had a $9 bottle of water and 2 entrees. They gave us a free desert to split between us because of our anniversary. I think the bill was $110. If you have someone to impress, this is a good spot.

We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary & it was one of the best decisions of my life. My wife/family were very happy with the surprise. Location is one of the best in the world and the food, hospitality & ambience was super awesome. Food was authentic Italian & served with lots of love. Thila was an amazing host & so does Prasad. My anniversary evening became immortal in our memories due to Lavo team. Kudos to them.

Dining at LAVO on the 57th floor turned out to be a really lovely experience. The moment we stepped out onto the terrace, the views completely stole the show—especially in the evening when the whole city seems to sparkle. The atmosphere was vibrant and stylish, and with all the Christmas decorations around, the place felt extra festive and a bit magical. We were greeted warmly at the entrance and guided to the outdoor seating area, which made the start of the evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small tip: there’s a minimum spend of 30 SGD per person, so it’s good to keep that in mind. Making a reservation was very easy, though. You can book right on the ground floor of Marina Bay Sands, Tower 1, and the process is quick and hassle-free. For food and drinks, we tried the Marina Cool cocktail, Reginette seafood alfredo, chicken marsala, and the LAVO tiramisu. The seafood alfredo leaned a bit too salty for my taste, but the chicken marsala was genuinely good—tender pieces of chicken in a generous portion. The tiramisu is enjoyable, but be aware it contains fish gelatin (it used to be beef gelatin), so it’s worth checking if you have dietary restrictions. We also appreciated the complimentary bread basket that arrived shortly after we sat down. Overall, LAVO is a great pick for a memorable dinner with incredible views and a wonderfully festive vibe.

For a five star rating I would expect the food to be superlative, but while the food was good, even great, it wasn’t the best Italian food I have ever had. The view, the service - those are amazing. Very attentive servers wait on you and treat you like you are their only table. The view and atmosphere is why you come here. That is 100% five stars. But again, for this price I am expecting near perfection. Additionally none of our dishes came with pasta on the side, something that isn’t really mentioned, so if you order the shrimp you get two shrimp, that’s it… the chicken parm, you get chicken on a bare plate. It’s the first time I have ever ordered chicken parmigiana without receiving pasta with it. The Caesar Salad is fantastic. Highly recommended. Lastly, I’ll mention the cake. The twenty layer cake. It is tall, it is photographable, it isn’t very tasty. It is a crunchy peanut butter forward dry cake. Shrug. PS their pepper shaker was comically large, we made some jokes. It was almost the size of my daughter.
