So you are feeling Italian while in the Philippines, eh? Anywhoo, I should give notice that if you…read moreare expecting "real" Italian, then don't. Because it's hard to get authentic Italian in the region, especially when it's at a super mega mall where it's more about turnover and foot traffic. But in my case, I wanted something besides all the Filipino food had been having for the last couple of days... So Here. We. Are. What I liked: - atmosphere. It was a little cramped, but all in all the decor and ambience was nice. - price/value. So they had these daily deals that sadly, I did not pay attention to... Look at the table flip cards for their daily specials, because some of them are really good, like 150 pesos meals. - my order. My default - seafood spaghetti. I was hungry and it tasted tasty... Probably because I was so hungry. The meh: - portions for pasta are decent, but I think mine felt small because I was super hungry. Also, hardly any seafood in my order. - Service. Omg - really slow and server never checked on us unless we called. BUT - folks, "limited" service is typical. Don't expect the service or treatment as in your western counterparts. Other than that, enjoy the A/C and atmosphere here. Still a good value for the price you pay.

When your tired of Filipino Food - have pizza and pasta! This place is located in the mega food…read morecourt. Small spot probably seats 20 people comfortably. Service was OK, a little slow, but we have noticed that food service is slow in general here in the Philippines. We had a pizza and some pasta dishes. Pizza was different and it tasted pretty good, had a cracker type crust, but it was still a pie - there is no possible way to compare it to a NY style pie; so I won't. Pasta dishes were prepared well, no complaints here, again different but similar from what we would have back home. They also had a selection of Filipino dishes, beer and wine, and desserts. So if you want some Italian this place is worth a try!

I may be biased, but Don Henrico's is my favorite pizza place ever. Maybe it was also because of…read morethe timing. At a time when I was so used to Pizza Hut, Shakey's, Greenwich, and Domino's, then came Don Henrico's, and my first time was in Baguio, at their first ever branch, no less! There, they even place generous amounts of lettuce on the pizza as an extra topping. There's just something "extra" about Don Henrico's that I can't find anywhere else. Maybe it's because it's a very Filipino brand - though the food is Italian, it's very much adjusted to the Filipino taste. I love the blend of savoriness, sourness, and sweetness in the pizza sauce and toppings. And of course, the softness of the pizza dough. The ingredients are also quite used generously. The vegetable delight pizza is truly a delight in any branch I have tried, including MOA. They don't scrimp on the ingredients at all. Of course they serve pastas and rice meals as well, but it's really the pizza that's the star for me. The MOA branch is particularly nice as you can see the sea from there. You can walk to the balcony and look out while waiting for your order.

After a happy but crowded and tiring Pyromusical fireworks evening, we were hungry. Many of the…read morerestaurants we went to were crowded, as most of the Pyromusical audience must have had the same idea. We ended up walking around MOA before we saw Gotti's Ristorante - it was Italian, so they surely have vegetarian-friendly, or at least pesca-vegetarian friendly, options. I was right. We ordered the puttanesca, and we were happy with it. Not many puttanescas satisfy our taste. We like this one as there is the distinct and savory taste of the anchovies, the capers, and the olives, the sourness of the tomatoes, as well as a spicy flavor, perhaps from chili. We also love the deep-fried mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce - such a sinful but delicious treat. We ordered this as a side to the pasta. We had originally wanted the margherita pizza, but between only two of us, the pizza and pasta might be too much. Gotti's is quite affordable, at a similar price level to Amici's, one of my favorite Italian restaurants.

She's so refine that you don't even feel her presence when she's clearing our mess on the table.

S The only thing I can suggest since this is a fine dining restaurant is real cloth dinner napkins.

Imagine being in Manila in the Philippines for one night en route to an exotic destination, being…read moreincredibly tired and hungry from the flight...and finding a pretty authentic Italian restaurant in a casino/mall attached to your hotel. That is what I am talking about here. The vibe is otherworldly (perhaps that is the jet lag) but it was surprisingly good. I got a pizza that was not too shabby. I was quite tired so I don't remember much else besides good service, a good wine list, and pretty high prices. That is to be expected, so no complaints here. Plus, because I am vegetarian, I knew the Philippines would be challenging for food. I am pleased to say it was not at all difficult here. I went in really underdressed but no one seemed to mind (just me). My travel companions scoped out the place beforehand while I napped in the hotel room, but they failed to warn me that the restaurant was a bit fancy. I think that is good.

Someone told me La Piazza was the best Italian restaurant in Manila…read more I envisioned exceptional food and service, like some guy grinding fresh pepper at my table, and sprinkling Parmigiano-Reggiano on my pasta. Or offering to sneak a bit of Sambuca in my coffee. But instead, I got ho-hum food, it was not bad, but very underwhelming, and weak table service if I compare it to a good New York Italian restaurant. The only positive point was that I got 20% off on my meal because I was staying at the Okada. The restaurant is only open three days a week, so it took me years for my stay here to overlap with the restaurant being open. How do they make money ? So in the end, I can't recommend La Piazza if someone asks me for an Italian restaurant. I will tell them to try Italianni's, the food is ok at 1/3 the price.
