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!

Every traveler that's been to Port Barton has told me to check out Gorgonzola. This seems to be THE…read morespot to go to in sleepy PB. They specialize in wood oven pizza. I dropped in twice (on a Sunday and Tuesday evening). It's great that you can see all the pizzas being freshly made out. FYI: the pizzas are MASSIVE. Only get if you're sharing with more than two people. You order and pay at the counter, then are given a cute mini pizza scooper with a number on it. The menu is up on the wall: breakfast, pizza, salad, pasta, focaccia and dessert. Pizzas you can get whole or by the slice. Trip #1 - Fresh handmade pasta with pesto rosso (280 PHP) - the noodles were almost like spaghetti. A bit of a bite to them. I haven't had pasta in ages so this was a nice change; portion size is massive. It'd be better if they had a half size option. - Margherita slice (80 PHP) - again, huge slice but thin crusty style. Good chewy dough and texture. You could get full on two slices. Trip #2 - 2x Pizza slices (80 PHP each) - one regular (tomato, zucchini and onion) and another with spinach (20 PHP extra). Spinach one was better. - Full protein (250 PHP) - greens, tomato, cucumber, red onion, carrot, mungo bean, hummus, egg and turmeric cashew. For our dressing, we went with the yogurt pesto. Finally a normal salad! Best parts were the mungo beans, cashew and hummus. I get why this place is so popular. Stick with the pizza over the pasta if you have to choose.

Food is the best I ate in Asia (24 years travelling around). Pizza? Wow... Lasagna? Delicious! All paired with great Italian Wine. Not to mention the "soundtrack"... it's like a cherry on a cake. A tip: try the carpaccio, tuna or beef? I can't chose... both best ever! So, if you are searching for an authentic italian restaurant, this is, no doubts, the best! These guys deserve a full time full restaurant. I was forgetting, accept the homemade lemoncelo they will offer you, so good! Thanks guys, I wish to have you as neighbors!

It is a small romantic place with incredible ambiance (simple yet elegant) and fresh Italian food! We had bruschetta, three types of homemade pasta (penne, spaghetti arribiata, and carbonara) and each was excellent and filling in its own right. This plus their red house wine and very quaint environment made for a very nice evening. To top things off the owner provided a complimentary limoncello. You must try this place!

Paired with their house white wine while enjoying the view of the coastline. We new we had officially arrived in El Nido! Might I add, the day we went, you could order extra servings of whatever pasta dish you ordered. I regret not ordering a second order now and taking it with me "to go". Yes, it was that good! We loved how we were asked to take off our shoes upon stepping into their restaurant and I liked their modern design. The servers were very friendly and prompt. We wanted to eat their again during our stay at El Nido but they were under construction the day before we left. It looks like they're still in the middle of expanding. We were bummed that we had to eat at Art Cafe instead because we were looking forward to trying the rest of their menu. If I return to El Nido one day, I would definitely eat here and recommend others to do the same. Thanks to Trip Advisor for the recommendation!

I wish they were open for lunch too, but this location is only open for dinner. It looks like Altrove Express, which is around the corner, may be open earlier, probably for lunch too but we had not ventured there for lunch. I enjoyed that it was a shoeless environment from the start. Their bathroom was broken on the day of our arrival but they were apologetic and accommodating in walking us to a clean bathroom at Atmosphere, apparently a bar owned by the same owner. I had no complaints as the bathroom there was clean and the waiter waited for me to return and walk me back a few buildings down back to the restaurant. We were happy with the salad and their margarita pizza that we ordered was enough for 2 people. We don't eat a lot portion wise, in general, but their portion size was perfect for us. We sat towards the back on their Thai style pillow chairs which was a nice touch to the restaurant and enjoyed the window seating minus the usual mosquitos throughout Palawan. Our servers were friendly and helpful. I found the restaurant to be very clean, as well. Their house wine was a nice compliment to our meal. I would definitely come back for their pizza. It was a nice touch as we were visiting from the US and missed having a variety of options to choose from.

The coffee bean gelato is absolutely exquisite, the double chocolate and mint chocolate are rich and satisfying, and the white stracciatella is truly divine.

If you love high-quality gelato, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back again (and again)!

CRUNCHY PALABOK... YUM!!! And why does EVERY SINGLE PERSON here, have a Halo-Halo?!?! We were…read moretold this is THEE spot locals hit to get their halo-halo fix in Puerta Princesa, Palawan, PI. It sure was the looks of it, as every table was indulging in this Filipino dessert when we walked in! Not many car parking spots available outside, but that's kinda the norm here. Trikes are main way to get around and about town. AC is in full blast and its Counter service here. It's better if you speak Tagolog here, cuz my broken Tagalog wasn't gettin' me anywhere. Yup, boo boo face! :( Quite a few entrees prepared in front to see, as well as a wall menu to order from. So we ordered a few things... *CRISPY PALABOK: Never had this version of palabok before, and I LOVED it!!! The crispy noodles?!?! Oh, that just changed the game on this popular Filipino dish. So much I craved it the rest of our trip around the Philippines! Sauce was perfect and topped with lots of chicharron crunch. So GOOOD, we had to get a second plate, even, lol! *HAMBURGER: The young squires each had one of these with fries and not very impressive. The meat patty is tiny, almost the same size as the cucumber and tomato slices that was came with it. The hamburger came out first, separate from the French fries. Ehhh. *HALO-HALO with ICE CREAM: Perfect dessert to cool off from the humid hot atmosphere outside, and they do this dish WELL here! Big scoop of ice cream, a slither of leche flan, filtered water for ice is used and it is crushed very fine. Lotsa condensed milk and jackfruit, red beans, & sago sit at the bottom to mix. A perfect mix of YUM!!! Shoulda came here more often for their palabok & halo-halo while we were here. Certainly missed out on that yumminess! Avoid the burgers & stick with the dishes, and you'll be a happy camper ;)
