This is as close to authentic Italian food as I have ever got (at least as far as New Jersey…read moreItalians go). Eating at Napoli's reminds me of dining in with an Italian family inside their house. If dining here for the first time, make sure you have emptied both stomachs as all of their menu items, from salad to pasta to pizza, have very generous servings and great for sharing. They cut their pizza slices New York style - it enables you to experience folding your pizza slice in half, and then taking a bite of that double-layer cheesy pizza goodness (with your desired toppings, of course). I generally do not like anchovy as a pizza topping, but I'm willing to make an excuse for the way they prepare it through Howie's Special. The Chicken Cesar Salad and Eggplant Lasagna are noteworthy must-tries. Napoli is a good alternative to your mainstream Italian chain, with much better tasting food.

We tried to go to Bayleaf's rooftop bar but it wasn't opened until 4pm. For the third floor, it has a nice view of the city and some of the Fort's walls. The restaurant is known for wood fire pizzas but they have pasta too. Casual dining and maybe seats 50 people. Kuya Alvin was very attentive to us.

In this hotel, you will be able to find 3 different restaurants. One of them is Raffaelle, the hotel's Italian restaurant. Located at the 3rd floor, the restaurant is overlooking the walls of Intramuros. Pretty nice view. I must say I was really impressed with the food. For my appetizer, I got to try the Gambaretti. It's gambas ala Italian style with almonds even. I absolutely love this dish. Finish up the sauce with the house bread! The pastas, Frutti de Mare and Sea urchin pasta were killer! Noodles were cooked right, the sauces were good! For the pizza, I like the seafood pizza more than the four cheese pizza I ordered. Overall, this is my new favorite pasta place! It still needs improvement in the pizza dough but other than that I love this place!

Italianis is one of my family's go to restos when were looking for a good Italian place to eat. The price is a bit expensive, but considering the quality of food and the size of the servings, it's to be expected. I like how the appetizer in this place is some of the best I've ever had. We do this thing where we take Parmesan cheese, vinegar, and olive oil and mix them into a plate. We then dip the bread into the mixture and viola, one of the best free appetizers you can get at any restaurant. Their salads are also good particularly the Caesar salad. I can't even think of a time when we went to an Italianis and not order a platter of one. So if you happen to find yourself here be sure to order some.

We got the Original (rolled with alfalfa, super fresh and crunchy), the Tinlou with bacon and mushrooms, and one with Parma ham and artichokes. The crust was thin, crispy edges, perfect for rolling without falling apart, and the toppings tasted so fresh and balanced. Service was warm and quick even though it was packed, and the open kitchen vibe made it fun to watch everything being made. Dessert was the pistachio gelato--creamy, not overly sweet, just right. Pricey for a casual hang but worth every peso for the quality and the experience. Hidden gem in Paco talaga, will definitely drag more friends back soon!

True enough, upon entering the restaurant, you will feel like you belong in an authentic Italian home, with wooden chairs, tables and comfy leather couches. Its walls are adorned with framed photos of families making it homey. As for the food, their cheapest pizza is priced at around Php450 which is only good for 2-3 persons. The same goes for their single-served pasta at Php350 good for 1-2 persons. However, Italianni's currently offers economical promos that will surely save you a ton of bucks.

I get so excited when it comes to delicious Italian food that I even look forward to the complimentary bread Italianni's serves. Sometimes, I really can't understand myself. Oh well. We often order some olive oil and balsamic vinegar, so that we could dip the bread into the mixture and top it off with some Parmesan cheese. They serve lovely, palatable meals that have adequate servings. I really liked their Fettuccine Tartufo e Prosciutto which is basically just pasta with some truffle cream and prosciutto. The truffle flavor really blended well with the salty Italian ham, and I remember scarfing it down like there's no tomorrow!

Enough choices for a group and the price is not too hefty. They do allow pets in the outside seating which is nice since I mostly travel with my puppy. We shared some dishes with the 3 of us and we had a great amount to share since it's actually a good size portion and not Filipino portions. Customer service is also outstanding.

It is generous in meat and creamy melted cheese. One more thing, the basket of bread is refillable!

I remembered to take a photo of the pizza, but completely forgot to snap a picture of the spaghetti because we were so hungry and excited to dig in--LOL! The food was absolutely delicious. The highlight for me was their special Gino's Spicy Honey that they recommend drizzling over the pizza. I had never heard of or tried spicy honey on pizza before, but wow--it was amazing! The sweet and spicy flavor paired perfectly with the pizza and created a combination I'll definitely be craving again. Great food, friendly service, and a wonderful dining experience. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Makati!
