I've been meaning to post an update since they hired a new chef, so here it goes…read more.. If you're looking for Filipino pasta that's sweet and contains sliced hot dogs dyed red, you definitely won't find it here. Al Bacio serves authentic Italian dishes made by an Italian chef, who uses fresh ingredients and takes pride in all his dishes. Let me quote myself from my first review: "First glance at the menu might make you say that it's quite pricey; but if you factor in the price of importing quality goods from Italy, the effort it takes to make everything in house (dressing, sauces, bread, pasta, and pizza dough) AND the VIP treatment you get from the wonderful staff: the price point is completely reasonable." This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants: cozy atmosphere, warm staff, and delicious food. I love that the waitstaff and chef are eager to accommodate any requests within reason. We always leave here relaxed, with satisfied tastebuds, and happy bellies. Mangiamo!

The bar has a nice stock. The wine selection is fair. There is an upstairs private area. French head chef with another chef. Definitely a 4 to 5 star restuarant. However, the salad was a little wizened. The bread was slightly over cooked. It will all hang on the steak prep and the lasagna execution.

Piccolo Padre has to be the best Italian restaurant in Angeles City. I google for the ten best…read morerestaurants in Angeles, and Piccolo Padre came up , when I saw the photo of the place I had to come here. The service was excellent and the food tasted real good, and was absolutely the finest authentic Italian and not a want-a-be. You will think you are in Rome and not the Philippines.. And the desserts ? I say order two they are that good they not only look good but taste fantastic. I almost licked my plate to get to the sugar decorations. Presentation well just look at the photos. And the ambiance, decor was one of a kind. The restaurant was not very big and it has stairs to no where are part of the decor. and the noise level is on the high side. Be sure to get the cappuccino, and a little wink will get you some sambuca. The cost was pricey for Angeles City but cheap compare to New York, about $20 a person without any wine.

I was here to try their new gelato which are made in house with all fresh ingredients: you can sample multiple flavors. I settled on Amarena cherry and Pinguino and for hubby Pistachio & stracciatella; my fav was the Amarena cherry. All their desserts also available next door at Al Bacio. Server/cashier was very sweet, knowledgeable about their products, and efficient. I will be back for some more gelato!

Unsafe premises, not taking responsibility for their negligence, and more importantly, the…read moremanagement has no empathy. NEVER AGAIN! We dined here last Sunday, February 16, 2025, to celebrate a milestone. What we thought was a fun Sunday ended up with us being in the emergency room. My mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital and had to go through an emergency operation because her index finger was trapped in the restaurant's automatic glass door leading to their comfort rooms. Her index finger was deeply wounded (2 cuts to be exact) and its bone was fractured as well. The doorjamb of this automatic door was sharp, almost like a knife, which caused the deep cuts and the fractured bone. The staff and even the manager working that night were aware. No one even assisted us to get medical help. We were traumatized, anxious during my mother-in-law's hospital confinement, and frustrated because they were not being responsive when we asked about the management's plan. They only said sorry and "we did not want it to happened but it was accident po". An accident which happened because of your unsafe premises! This accident cost the family a lot of money and the management told us that they will NOT cover the medical expenses nor help in any way. We are truly flabbergasted.

Very large place with a big menu. But should cut the size of the menu and improve the food and…read moreservice. Went here several times for birthday parties I was invited to. Would never go here if I had a choice. Food is overpriced for what is serviced. Poorly prepared and not presented well. It is clear they have a local staff who do not understand good food or providing good service. Our group was about 20 people, so ordered many different items. The best was just average. For example, order a Hawaii Pizza, the crust was not tasty, but would have been passable if the rest was good. The cheese used was a fake-processed product, the tomato sauce was bitter, the ham was poor quality, and the pineapple seemed to be old, and starting to ferment. Many servers here, but they seemed to just run around. Did not seem like severs were assigned to any set area. Ask for a knife to cut the cake, had to ask no less than 5 servers and took 15 minutes. Very popular with Filipinos/Filipinas but really does not stand up in quality, service and pricing. You can find much better food in Angeles City at a better value.

Very good thin flat bread style pizza. I have not tried the thicker pizza yet. My only disappointments in order of annoyance were: 1) if no customers the door is open and the air con is off. So you have mosquitos. 2) the bread was a bit hard.. Could have been warmed up, however the red sauce for the bread was exceptional. 3) the salmon carpaccio just wasn't sliced thin enough. Seemed like smoked salmon in oil and lemon. That's the reasons it didn't get a fifth star

I like getting a side of their meat sauce and their yummy garlic bread, for a filling snack to tide me over tilI I get home. Staff are friendly and speak English. The negatives are: - the dining area is hotter than the tables outside in the mall, probably because of the BIG pizza oven that's constantly on to make and later warm up the food -there's no bathroom.

RATING FOR DESSERTS ONLY:…read more Went to Starbucks for coffee and dessert but left because it was too crowded (Sunday afternoon): so ended up at Gustav Cafe. Restaurant is named after the designer of the Eiffel Tower: Alexandre Gustav Eiffel. There's a model of the Eiffel Tower out front: makes for a great photo op. On their wall, you can read an interesting story about how the Eiffel Tower came to be. It's a cozy and elegant place decorated in beautiful wood tones, with comfy tufted armchairs (even the baby high chairs have tufted backs), and dark glass tables that beautifully reflect the wall art. Nothing much to say about the servers; they just take your order and deliver the food. They're not very warm nor helpful; they couldn't even answer simple questions about their desserts. We ordered a chocolate cake and a choco mint frappe. The cake was rich and decadent but on the stale side. The shake tasted awful! I usually love the combination of chocolate and mint, but this tasted like minty toothpaste UGH! The only reason I would give them a second chance is because it's a nice place to escape the crowded mall and hang out. Next time we'll try out the food. FYI: There's no toilet paper in the bathroom, instead there is a bidet sprayer and paper towels to dry up with. The sink and soap to wash your hands is outside of the bathroom.
