Ms. Lin told us "Il Lido uses all original menus. We don't like to copy. There are many Italian food in Singapore but Il Lido has no similarity with any of them. There is mozzarella bar "Osteria Mozza" done by Mario Batali but we are not competitors. We want to stay in frontline of F&B scene. I would like to continuously produce and put effort on marketing on what customer is interested in."

Unlike Japanese who define Italian as casual dining, Singapore has its own identity of fanciness in Italian cuisine. The popular demand of Italian food followed by local and Japanese food has lead by strong existence of Il Lido.
