I was travelling and this was my only visit for lunch. It was a great meal. The inside of the…read morerestaurant is decorated well. There is seating upstairs. The place is a great setting for a power lunch, "ladies who lunch", or a very nice dinner. I ordered a bellini and it was great. Not too sweet and just the right alcohol content. For the meal we ordered the lobster ravioli and a meat pizza. My only critique of the meal is that although the pizza was good, perhaps a Neapolitan style would make it more authentic and differentiate from other available pizzas. The service was exceptional. The prices were reasonable for what we ordered. I noticed in the menu other full meal classic Italian meals for moderate prices.One more critique, the tiramisu seemed like it was not thawed out enough indicating too frozen. The cappuccinos were deftly made with authentic italian brew. All ingredients were authentic including the gorgonzola cheese on the salads. Definitely will try this place again, and at night for another meal.

We needed to wait out a huge downpour after dinner so we headed to L'Opera for coffee and dessert…read more L'Opera was a large two story restaurant with an eclectic mix of furnishings and decor following an Italian theme. A trio performed nightly and were quite entertaining playing and singing a mixture of modern and classic songs. Special occassion serenades on request. Sitting upstairs or in the room to the left of the main entrance was quieter. I ordered the panna cotta with mango which was a large slice but was firmer and lacked a certain creaminess than I expected. At least the mango slices and sauce added some sweetness to offset. Not too impressed with dessert but since it's a short walking distance from our new base in BGC will likely try their Italian food in the future. Will update my review at that time.

I've never been here before. They ordered a couple of pizzas (can't remember the type) and a few pastas (sorry, can't remember their orders). I only remembered my order which was black ink seafood tagliolini. It was very good. Anyway, they chose this restaurant because it is one of their favorite Italian restaurants that handmake their pasta. I just remember liking everything I tasted. Would like to come back when I am not distracted by their little kids running around.

GOOD VALUE SETS Big Lunch Set (249 PHP) Baked Potato Soup + Honey Balsamic Salad + Pulled Pork Belly (or Adobong Duck Rice) The baked potato soup was thick with a nice grainy texture from the potato, less creamy. The salad contained fresh greens and a good amount of balsamic vinegar, it's a simple salad that works well with the et. The pulled pork belly was savoury, filling in serving and taste, topped with a fried egg.

I can see why Cibo has gained the accolades they have. They've been highly rated, and currently on the world's top 50 pizza artisinal chains. I can see why. Pizza was really good. For the price, they were really healthy portions as well. The crust was delicious, and I really could have kept eating just that on its own. It was really good, soft but had a nice bite. Not too light not too heavy. The pizza toppings were really good. Each of the three pizzas we ordered were delicious. We got the 5 cheese, spinach dip pizza, and the prosciutto crudo. All good and flavors complemented each other. I'm really curious what the others taste like and will be back again in the future. Luckily with locations throughout, it won't be too difficult to get to one. If they match the quality of this experience, I'll be one happy person. I've heard people say equally good things about the other items on the menu, so looks like there will be plenty of reasons to find myself heading to Cibo in the future.

Since its soft opening, my family and I have been fans of Trattoria Poggio Antico. By now, I think…read moretheir restaurant manager already knows by heart our favourites. Save for the pizza, because we like to mix it up every now and then. It starts with Zuppa di Funghi (Mushroom soup, P205) that goes well with Carpaccio di Manzo (P305), Tagliatelle con Prosciutto e Tartufo (P485), Tagliatelle alla Carbonara (P290) and Salmone (Pizza with smoked salmon, P620). For Mother's Day we mixed it up with Rib Eye Angus Beef Pizza (P790). My family and I could forgo with the pizza, soup and carbonara but we cannot leave this place without ever eating Carpaccio di Manzo and Tagliatelle con Prosciutto e Tartufo. But we're kidding about forgoing pizza, soup and carbonara. That will never happen! You want a full-on Italian experience, you have to take the necessary steps from minestres to antipastis to pastas to pizze and dolcis. But can I just talk about Carpaccio di Manzo and Tagliatelle con Prosciutto e Tartufo again? As someone with Crohn's, food can be a little difficult. It's always hit or miss. So I'm always cautious about food. However, since I'm guaranteed the best of the best by their head chef (they don't serve dishes if their ingredients are not at par with their standards), the thinly sliced tenderloin of their Carpaccio di Manzo melts in your mouth so effortlessly. It goes well with the arugula, olive oil, parmesan and white button mushroom. Trattoria Poggio Antico promises authenticity with their food. They even make their own pasta! My first try with Tagliatelle con Prosciutto e Tartufo (yes, they like their long food names here) was love at first taste! I never looked back and remains to be one of my favourite pasta dishes after my Mom's home-made carbonara! It's a flat green pasta with parma ham, button mushroom in truffle sauce. I know I will think about this before I go to bed. Oh, sweet Tagliatelle.

We ordered the "family meal"?? which contain a rice with ribs and chicken breast, pizza, 2 salads, 2 varieties of pasta, and 4 iced tea. The pasta taste good i think one of them was the Pollo Pizzamente, the other pasta i totally forgot what kind, we ordered the Mona Liza pizza to go with it too and orange juice for me, and some calamari (i like how they make their calamari). The orange juice taste different but not in a bad way, i like it! it looks like pineapple juice but it taste like orange. Service was good and the staff were very helpful with our inquiries. For the dessert we ordered tiramisu however after tasting a little of it we learned that it has whiskey in it so i had to order a different dessert for myself. Overall my friends and i enjoyed the service, the food, and the ambiance.

I remember during quarantine in 2021, my friend sent me the roasted chicken and since then I couldn't get over the juiciness and flavors of it. So I had to order it for myself this time. The veggies that come along with it and the sauce is so flavorful. Kind of wish the chicken was bigger because it's just that good! The pizza was okay not the best I've had but it was a nice snack to try. I didn't get to try the pasta because I was just really into my chicken. I'd only recommend this place if you want to try it. It's quite pricey for the portions but it is an authentic Italian restaurant out here in the Philippines. The interior is quite nice and they do have outdoor seating. However the time we came it was excruciatingly humid. So we dined inside. Service was good. The staffs were quite attentive and can speak English to help those who don't speak Tagalog. I see why my friends would rave about the chicken though. I do recommend that as something to try.
