About LAVO Italian Singapore
About LAVO Italian Singapore
LAVO Italian Singapore is a venue rental option situated on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands Tower 1 at 10 Bayfront Avenue, offering elevated event spaces with city and waterfront views. KakiList has verified the operating details and contact channel. The venue holds a 4.3/5 rating across 5,873 Google reviews — a robust sample that reflects a consistent pattern of guest experience.
Enquiries typically begin with a discussion of event format and headcount, as standing cocktail capacity differs substantially from banquet round-table or theatre seating arrangements. As an in-hotel venue, LAVO operates under Marina Bay Sands' F&B and events infrastructure, which typically means in-house catering is the default and external caterers may not be permitted or may attract a corkage arrangement — confirm this early. Key terms to establish in writing include aircon hours, A/V provision (PA system, projection, lighting, microphones), setup and teardown access windows outside the hired room period, noise curfew, and parking. For wedding solemnisations, confirm whether the venue holds registered ROM status or whether a Justice of the Peace must be arranged separately. Accessibility — lift access, ramp, and accessible toilets — should be confirmed given the tower-level location.
To begin the booking process, contact LAVO Italian Singapore via phone or the enquiry form, specify your event date, format, and estimated headcount, and request a site recce before committing to any deposit.

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.

definitely worth the money. Best to book a dinner on the balcony as the sun sets (6:30-7:30pm slots) to maximize the stunning views of the city from different angles. As to food, I gave a 3/5 since it could be better. I’ve paid for less in some other restaurants which offer more delicious Italian food. For example, both the “the meatball” and the Seafood Fra Diavolo with lobster are both a tad bit sour and acidic (see pics) for our taste (could be different with others who prefer stronger tomatoe-y tastes.) however, the Bucatini carbonara and the salmon oreganato are our favorites to pair. The Carbonara is rich and flavorful, while the salmon is very soft and fresh. Overall, the food has generous portions which could be good for sharing. The staff were wonderful and not invasive.

My first visit was for dinner on April 2, 2019, and to this day, the memory of that evening remains vivid and cherished. I still remember making the reservation shortly after checking in at the Marina Bay Sands—a decision I was quietly pleased with. The restaurant is well known for its signature meatball dish, which is undeniably distinctive and visually striking—quite photogenic, in fact. However, while the presentation was impressive, the meatballs themselves were slightly lacking in juiciness, with a texture that leaned a bit dry. The salad was respectable and competently prepared, though it did not particularly stand out. The steak, on the other hand, was genuinely satisfying. The exterior achieved a beautiful caramelized crust through the Maillard reaction—lightly crisp with a delicate char—while the interior remained tender and generously infused with juices. Upon slicing into it, the aroma of the beef rose immediately and invitingly. It was, without question, the highlight of the meal. The ambiance deserves special mention. From the lighting and décor to the carefully curated music, every detail contributed to an atmosphere of romance and subtle mystery. Yet the true masterpiece lies outdoors: the breathtaking panoramic view of Singapore’s most iconic skyline. Situated on the 57th floor, the restaurant offers a sweeping nightscape that elevates the entire experience. If one is fortunate enough to be seated outside—weather permitting—the evening becomes even more exceptional. In all honesty, the cuisine alone may be described as good rather than extraordinary. However, when paired with such an unrivaled view, the experience becomes something memorable and worthwhile. Although the prices are undeniably on the higher side, I would still consider it a destination deserving of at least one visit.

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.

We made a reservation in advance and were so happy to be seated at the exact table we requested, such a great start to our lunch! If you’re planning to visit the top of Marina Bay Sands, we highly recommend dining at LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar instead of paying separately for the observation deck. You still get the same breathtaking views, but with the added bonus of enjoying a delicious meal and drinks (with a minimum spend per person). Everything we ordered for lunch was delicious, and the overall atmosphere made the experience feel extra special. We’re already planning to come back in September to order my new favorite drink— la dolce vita!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does LAVO Italian Singapore charge?›
LAVO Italian Singapore is a hotel-based venue at Marina Bay Sands, so pricing typically follows an in-house F&B minimum spend model rather than a straight hourly hall rate — the room hire is effectively bundled into a per-pax food and beverage commitment. In-hotel event venues of this tier in Singapore generally require a minimum spend ranging from S$8,000 to S$30,000+ depending on the space, format, and day of the week, with Saturday evenings commanding the highest thresholds. Itemise the full cost picture before signing: minimum F&B spend, setup and teardown access (often outside the rented window and sometimes billed separately), A/V inclusions, corkage for external wine or spirits if BYO is permitted, extended-hours surcharge, and any photography or videography permit requirements within the hotel. GST and a service charge (typically 10% service charge plus 9% GST at hotel venues) will apply on top of the quoted rates. See the full venue rental cost guide for Singapore →
What capacity and F&B policy does LAVO Italian Singapore have?›
As a restaurant and event venue within Marina Bay Sands, LAVO Italian Singapore operates with in-house F&B as the standard arrangement — external caterers are unlikely to be permitted, and the venue's own kitchen and service team handle food and beverage for events. Confirm the minimum spend per pax and whether a set menu, sharing menu, or à la carte format applies to your event type. Standing cocktail capacity is typically 1.5 to 2 times the banquet seated number, so clarify which format your headcount is based on. For wedding solemnisations, confirm whether LAVO or Marina Bay Sands holds registered ROM solemnisation status, or whether you need to arrange a Justice of the Peace independently. Liquor service should be confirmed in terms of package inclusion versus an à la carte bar tab, and whether the hotel's Liquor Licence covers late-evening service for your event. A site visit before paying any deposit is strongly recommended given the Level 57 location — confirm lift access, accessible toilet provision, and the exact room dimensions for your layout.
What's the booking and cancellation policy at LAVO Italian Singapore?›
Popular Saturday evenings at Marina Bay Sands venues book out 6 to 12 months ahead, particularly during wedding season in March, April, October, and November. A deposit — typically 30 to 50% of the estimated total spend — is required to secure the date, with the balance due closer to the event. Confirm the exact deposit amount, what it covers, and the timeline for the balance payment. Put the rescheduling and cancellation terms in writing before paying. Most reputable hotel venues allow postponement within a window of 6 to 12 months without forfeiting the full deposit in genuine force-majeure situations, but the terms vary. Confirm the noise curfew (hotel venues typically observe an 11pm limit), parking arrangements at Marina Bay Sands Sands Expo Car Park, and whether the setup and teardown windows are included within the hired time slot or require a separate arrangement. Do a site recce at the time of day your event will run — the light and atmosphere on Level 57 differ substantially between lunch and evening — and confirm all inclusions in writing before signing.
