Food is mediocre. Not worth the price sadly. Is the pasta really freshly made? Mine was broken to pieces (see pic), 'tiger prawns' were tiny and only 3 tiny pieces, 'roasted cherry tomatoes' were 5 halves that were barely softened and not worth adding. Above all, the sauce was meant to be aglio olio. It did not look or taste like it. The saving grace is the restaurant's interior design. For a specialist pasta place, Tipo is not worth the dough - pun totally intended >

Tried their DIY pasta with pomodoro sauce. Didn't expect it to have a spicy kick, very flavorful sauce, not bland at all. Their truffle tramezzini and burrata is lovely. However, I think their chicken top up can be a bit more generous with the meat. When I visited, i also realised that the pizza and some pasta options were unavailable.

The food is delicious with good quality, but the portion doesn't really justify the pricing. The lady server somewhat gives an attitude and have the bo chap behaviour.

Visited Tipo @ Waterloo for the first time and honestly did not expect such poor service throughout the entire dinner experience. We visited around 7pm and the restaurant was barely occupied. Cutlery was placed in a container on the table, but when our food arrived, we realised there weren’t enough utensils. We asked the staff for 3 additional sets of cutlery, but only received 3 spoons. We eventually had to reach over to other tables to take forks ourselves, and even then, none of the staff approached us to offer assistance. We also ordered 2 bottles of tap water, which we were told cost $6 per bottle. Before ordering, my friend asked how big each bottle was so we could estimate how many to purchase for our large group, but the staff seemed unsure and did not bother responding properly. Some of my friends ordered cold brew tea, which was still available on the menu. Halfway through the meal, we had to check with the staff again because the drinks never arrived. Only then were we told that the drink bar was closed. If pizzas can be marked as sold out on the menu, why couldn’t the drinks be updated as unavailable too? Worse still, no one informed us when the order was taken, and the staff were not apologetic when asked about it. When the pasta dishes were served, the staff appeared confused and unsure of what they were serving. I ordered Mafalde pasta but was served something completely different, more similar to spaghetti. For takeaway orders, once the food was ready, it was simply left at the counter without any notification. A simple “Your takeaway is ready, just let us know when you’d like to collect it” would have been basic service, but that didn’t happen either. The billing experience was the final straw. We were charged for the 3 cold brew teas that were never served, and also charged $96 for 4 bottles of water despite being told they were $6 each. Thankfully, one of my friends checked the receipt before payment. Even after we pointed out the mistakes and shared our disappointment with the service, the staff showed no apology. One staff member even rolled her eyes and walked away while my friend was speaking. Overall, the poor service attitude completely ruined the dining experience for all of us.

First visited this outlet years ago and had very fond memories of the place, so returning recently came with high expectations. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be extremely disappointing. 1. The menu was severely limited — only appetisers and pastas were available, and even some pasta options were already out of stock. Pizza was completely unavailable. 2. Halfway through the meal, we checked with the staff regarding our drinks, only to be told that the bar was closed and water was the only option available at 7-8pm. This should have been communicated upfront before ordering. 3. The pasta was undercooked and quite tough. The flavour was acceptable, but definitely not up to expectations. 4. We were also overcharged. The bill included charges of over $90 for 4 bottles of tap water. After reviewing the bill and informing the staff, there was little to no apology, and the response felt dismissive. While the menu states that still water is charged at $6 per bottle, we were never informed that refills would incur additional charges as well. Charging repeatedly for tap water refills without clarification feels unreasonable. 5. When our friend politely provided feedback in hopes of helping improve the experience for future customers, the staff member rolled her eyes and appeared uninterested. To make matters worse, our friend’s takeaway order was simply left on the counter without informing us that it was ready. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially since we chose this place to celebrate a special occasion based on the reputation of the brand. It’s unfortunate to see such poor standards at this outlet, as the brand itself has a lot of potential. If the experience across the other TIPO outlets is similar, that would truly be a waste. Unfortunately, I would not return to this particular outlet nor recommend it to others.
