Have been coming here for over eight years and never a bad meal. Some find it pricey for Angeles City but is is a true bargain. Some of the best Italian food we have every had. But also USDA Beef, Maine Lobsters, fresh mussels, oysters, scallops are feature here. The staff is always prefect. The owner cooks and overseas every meal. The decor makes you believe you are in Italy. It is a great place for dinner. Sadly only open for dinner service Tuesday to Sunday. They also have a small bar area and nice selection of wines. Located on the first floor of Prime Asia Hotel with parking in front of the restaurant. We like this Restaurant so much we had our Wedding here. The first and only complete Wedding ever done here and it was prefect. Celebrated my birthday at Piccolo Padre a few days ago.... Even a gift from Chef Dan as he told me their new Oyster Bar Restaurant will be opening this month in Hensonville..... A Express version of this great dinning place that will be open during the day.

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.

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!

Really little has changed, the service and food is still subpar and overpriced. Yes, they have moved from the original hotel location to the new building but really no improvement. It is a much longer walk now to the parking because the whole complex is set up for the gambling, they really don't care about the food or the comfort of those dinning, just get the money. Lets's set the record straight here, they do not serve pizza, or anything like pizza, their Chef Chris roll ups are not pizza, and not good at all. Service is very slow, even in an empty restaurant. The soup was a very small amount and tasted like packaged freeze-dried soup. The lamb was not tender and overcooked. And why call it Amare by Chef Chris? He died long before the current location was ever built, even going back to his early restaurant C Italian, on Don Juico Ave, when he was cooking his food was not good and his customer service was even worse. If you want to overpay and get bad food with poor service, then come here, you will not be disappointed. Amare by Chef Chris should follow the lead of its namesake and RIP. It could be considered a public service.

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 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!

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.

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.
