Sio Pasta Singapore — Menu, Prices & What to Order (2026 Review)

Sio Pasta is the Singapore outpost of a six-time Michelin-recognised Tokyo pasta concept, tucked in the basement of Raffles City — and the reason it draws queues isn’t just the pedigree, it’s that a $13.80-$18.80 handmade pasta undercuts most comparable “chef-driven” pasta in Singapore by a meaningful margin. Below is the full menu, what’s actually worth ordering, and a direct comparison against what similar pasta costs elsewhere in the city, so you can judge for yourself whether the queue is worth it.

What Makes Sio Pasta Different

The concept traces back to chef Shusaku Toba, associated with Sio Aoyama — a six-time Michelin-recognised Italian restaurant in Tokyo. The Singapore branch is Sio’s first international outlet, and it keeps the same handmade-pasta discipline while leaning into Japanese-Italian fusion flavours: mentaiko, salted kelp, yuzu kosho butter and shimeji mushroom sit alongside classic Italian technique like carbonara and Neapolitan-style tomato sauce. It opened at Raffles City in early 2026 and has run at consistently high demand since, on a no-reservations, first-come-first-served counter with roughly 28 seats.

Is Sio Pasta Actually Good Value? A Real Comparison

This is the part most menu round-ups skip. Singapore pasta spans a wide price band, and where Sio Pasta lands in it matters more than the price tag alone:

The honest read: Sio Pasta prices closer to budget chain pasta than to the mid-range casual Italian tier its chef pedigree would normally put it in. A handmade pasta from a chef tied to a six-time Michelin-recognised Tokyo restaurant, priced at $13.80-$16.80, is genuinely undercutting places like Chicco Pasta Bar ($18++) and Pastaria Abate ($23.80+) that don’t carry the same credentials. That gap is the actual reason for the queues, more than novelty alone.

Pizza, Sides & Dessert

Prices are ++ (subject to service charge and GST) and reflect the menu as covered by food media through mid-2026 — the Mentaiko pasta in particular has previously run as a limited-time item, so confirm it’s still available before you queue specifically for it.

What to Order — Dish by Dish

The Best Mentaiko Pasta ($16.80) and its permanent-menu sibling Mentai Cream Carbonara ($16.80) are the two most-recommended dishes across reviews — rich, creamy, umami-forward from the marinated pollock roe, finished with spring onion, shiso leaf and nori for cut-through freshness against the richness.

Fried Egg, Cheese & Salted Kelp ($13.80) is the cheapest pasta and doesn’t taste like the budget option — reviewers describe it as a savoury combination that “packs a serious punch,” built on umami Japanese pantry staples rather than a classic tomato or cream base.

Pork Belly & Shimeji with Yuzu Kosho Butter ($16.80) is the pick if you want the fusion angle pushed furthest — yuzu kosho’s citrusy heat against rich pork belly and earthy mushroom is distinctly un-Italian in a way that’s specific to this menu. Cheesy Prosciutto & Asparagus ($18.80), the priciest pasta, plays it straighter for anyone wanting something closer to a classic Italian flavour profile.

On the pizza side, Teriyaki Chicken with Cheese ($16.80) is the safer, more broadly appealing choice; Blue Cheese and Maple Syrup ($18.80) is a sweet-savoury combination that reviewers either love or find too rich — worth splitting rather than ordering solo if you’re unsure.

For sides, the baguette with fig butter ($4.80) gets called out repeatedly as an easy win, and the yuzu kosho fried chicken ($4.80-$5.80) delivers a genuinely crisp, juicy bite. One consistent note across reviews: the pasta portions here are on the heavier side, so for groups, ordering 2-3 pasta dishes to share plus a side works better than everyone ordering a full pasta each.

Is Sio Pasta good value compared to other pasta places in Singapore?

Yes, relative to its credentials — a chef tied to a six-time Michelin-recognised Tokyo restaurant, priced at $13.80-$18.80, undercuts mid-range casual Italian spots like Chicco Pasta Bar ($18++) and Pastaria Abate ($23.80+), and is well below upscale options like Caffe Italia ($28-29++).

What should I order at Sio Pasta?

The Best Mentaiko Pasta or Mentai Cream Carbonara (both $16.80) are the most-recommended dishes. For a cheaper option that still delivers, the Fried Egg, Cheese & Salted Kelp pasta ($13.80) is well-reviewed. Add the fig butter baguette ($4.80) as a side.

Does Sio Pasta have vegetarian options?

No dedicated vegetarian pasta has been specifically flagged in food media coverage — most dishes are built around pork, bacon, prosciutto or mentaiko (seafood roe). If you need a meat-free option, it’s worth checking directly with staff before ordering.
