It’s an open-space restaurant inside Cubao Expo that’s definitely worth visiting. Make sure to come early, as the line can get long due to its limited seating. On the bright side, everything we ordered tasted amazing. We particularly enjoyed the habanero three-cheese pizza with its thin crust molten cheese. The creamy mushroom truffle al dente pasta was also worth the wait, and the spicy chicken wings were delicious. I wanted to revisit and try their other dishes, but my hunger got the better of me. With a queue number of 25, I decided to eat somewhere else instead. I really hope they expand to accommodate more customers, and I’d love to come back. I really do.
This place is called a restaurant bar. But be aware they don't sell any beer or any wine. Also they didn't serve me food either. They forgot my dinner. Terrible service. Avoid this place, there are plenty of other better restaurants and bars !
Cheese pizza one of the best I’ve had, specially when it’s fresh and hot from the kitchen. Comes with a spicy mango sauce on the side if you want to add heat. We also had the lengua steak and tapa, both with truffle eggs and sinangag, both good too, and servings were generous. Prices are reasonable and service is friendly. Caveat - they don’t accept credit card payments, but accept GCash and bank transfers. One thing we found a little off — we had just sat down and had not even ordered when a staffer tried to get our names and numbers for their database. I mean c’mon, let your customer settle down and eat first, duh!
