Garlic and olive oil have long been known for their health benefits and healing properties. It is no wonder that the foundations of this restaurant rest on these two health-promoting spices. ‘Aglio’, in Italian, means garlic, and ‘olio’ means olive. Being the first restaurant to localise pasta, the Italian fare served at Aglio Olio comes with a Singapore twist – the use of chilli padi as a substitute for the usual chilli flakes –culminating in the birth of a dish to call Singapore’s very own. Try their Seafood Olio or Bacon Cream for a truly unique blend of east and west all in one mouthful. You get a choice of four different levels of spiciness, depending on how strong a palate you have. One bite and you will see that Aglio Olio is the epitome of Singapore’s culinary creativity.
The décor of the restaurant’s interior shows off a thoughtfully chosen colour scheme, where the light wood tables and glass wall features evoke a sense of tranquillity. Oil wick flames that illuminate the alfresco dining area cast flattering glows on the surrounding ambience.
