The pita bread was fresh and warm. The dips were ok- could have used more garlic. The Mediterranean sandwich on fresh made focaccia was a hit- grilled veggies, mozzarella cheese with a side of grilled chicken and plantain fries. I had the pineapple cooler drink- yum! Prices are more expensive than other spots and portions aren't large but you are paying for the killer view.

El Nido is not known for food quality. Given the vast amount of tourist that stroll through town…read morefor activities, you would expect more. This restaurant was rated as one of the better places in town. The food was just ok: nothing to rave about. We had pad Thai and the vegetarian version does not come with tofu but a lot of "cabbage" in it. The Pad Thai was a bit oily and needed some spice. We also got some spring rolls: the vegetarian ones were just ok too. The service was good. Jay did a fabulous job! All staff at the restaurant aimed to please. The restaurant is not super big. The restaurant entrance is up some steep floors to a small room. When we visited the doors were open and the AC was not on. The restaurant was a bit hot. There is a small balcony out the back that offers views of the ocean. Great place to sit if you want to watch the ocean.

It's also a popular tourist spot to grab a cocktail (nothing craft...think Mai Tais and Woo Woos) and a bite to eat. We had wanted to sit in the sand but the restaurant is overrun by aggressive peddlers trying to sell pearl bracelets to you. The staff does nothing to help so we ended up sitting inside to avoid them. The menu is Filipino and full of favorites. We ended up getting the adobo calamari, prawn sinigang and grilled mackarel. The mackarel was a bit burnt which was disappointing and the adobo calamari chewy. The sinigang was pretty good however. Service was very slow and the restaurant sticky. The bathrooms were squalid and had no handsoap at all (it didn't even look like they ran out...just like it never existed) which only made the whole experience worse. This is one of the most popular spots in El Nido Town which makes me question everyone's travelling preferences. So glad this was a quick visit and we ended up staying in Sibaltan instead!

They've got varied food, not only Philippine food. The bar/restaurante, overlooking the sea and with a terrace on the beach, is small. Rustic furniture wood, not very comfortable.

It is on the beach but is not a place that would necessarily catch your eye if you were walking by. I had the fried calamari and then squid ink pasta. Everything was divine! So fresh, so well cooked.

Highly recommend this place if you are in El Nido!

I ordered the Hawaiian pizza by mistake, but it was actually good. The pineapples were fresh and The ham did not have a processed taste.. This has a nice casual date atmosphere. However, it can get a little stuffy as there is only one window and only one table for two near it. Surprisingly, it is right next to the beach but you wouldn't know it. the decor inside is nicely done. If you want some thing even more casual, they have another location across the street With an open air rustic environment. Fairly priced dinner menu.

There are two Trattoria Altrov'e branches in El Nido: the restaurant near Corong Corong Beach…read more("Trattoria Altrov'e Italian Cuisine" on G Maps) and the "express" in Town Proper. This Yelp listing currently has the restaurant name associated with the "express" address, so it's a bit confusing! The "express" used to just be take-out, however, as of recently, they also have dine-in! This review is for the "express" located in Town Proper, properly titled "Altrov'e Express" on G Maps. Onto the review! This place has no frills and if you can get in (I would suggest any time after 7:30pm), then do it! They've got pizza and pasta, what more could you ask for? Everyone in the restaurant ordered their own individual pizzas... this is not a place for individual pizzas, lmao. It's a pretty decently sized pizza, so I would strongly suggest sharing -- worst case scenario, you could always order another pizza! But I saw too many people leaving leftover pizza and while some people did take their leftovers back to their hotels ... it just doesn't hit the same. So definitely order a pie to share! We got the Pizza Bianca and as someone who loves tomato based pizzas, this white pizza was pretty good!! The brick-oven pizza was super flavorful and welcome after a whole day of island hopping! Apparently they offer a free ride from the "express" to the Trattoria Altrove Italian Cuisine near Corong Corong Beach -- if I had more time in El Nido, I definitely would have tried it!

The tataki kuri marinated cucumber was very good I sense light use of soy sauce and sesame oil to flavor the cucumber but not overwhelm it. The seared salmon(arubi salmon maki) is cooked - a little weird, cooked sushi but you can get used to it. We had the salmon and tuna nigiri they were fine. Just like most restaurants already there are a lot more western than local. If you're in a rush good place to go. Most Filipino restaurants aren't this quick on service.
