My foodie assistant & I loved our experience here!
We started off with the artichoke dip & bread which was BLESS. I love the cheesy taste of the dip & how the bread wasn’t hard at all!! So good.
My foodie assistant was pleasantly surprised tasting that seafood pasta could actually be good as he’s never tried something like that before. Thanks for a great first experience with that, Italliani’s! We would definitely come back for that!
We got the 4 flavored pizza because we were indecisive on a single flavor. After trying the diff flavors, I think I would stick with the cheese pizza. Simple & straight to the point as I like to say. I also just love cheese in general but the other flavors had little to no cheese. The shrimp pizza confused me & the other two were mediocre in my opinion. Thankfully my foodie assistant finished that for me. :)
P.S. They also have booths/couches if you wanna sit next to your boo again. ;) hehe
Really loved their Quattro Staggioni 😍 the Baked Zitti was not for us since it was too sweet for me. Service was great 👍
Itallianis provides an ode to fresh italian cooking, I honestly never get tired of the taste. Definitely worth the money. The food, the service, and the ambiance absolutely complement each other! Worth a visit if you havent!
Pasta was not as good though would like to commend our servers Cha and Mai for their excellent service. They were very pleasant and accommodating!

No need to write reviews. People already know that this is a good restaurant for all things Italian. It's a bit expensive for some but come on, they do serve good food and will give you back the value for your money too! And I just found out recently too that I can buy (for take out) their Foccacia bread (Tuscan bread) for quite a cheap price. I think it's P120 for 6 or 8 pcs. That is the usual free appetizer that they serve while you wait for food. The one which you always dip in EVCO and balsamic vinegar. :)
I craved for it during mg pregnancy so my husband had to find out or else he would have to burn his pocket bringing me there 3 x a day, everyday. But since the branch in Venice Piazza is the closest one to our place, he always buy it there. HAHAHA!
Ambience & Interior : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The restaurant is not crowded & noisy. The interior is great too.
Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
There is a complimentary bread. My boyfriend liked it dipping in the sauce served with it. The pastas are great. They are all tasty. Especially the Fettuccine Alfredo. It looks plain but its taste is not. The pizza tho, is sweet. I didn't liked it much. The taste from the leaves is overwhelming.
Beverage: ⭐⭐⭐
We ordered two ripe mango shake. I think it lacks sweetness. But it is good. Not just too good for me.
Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Their crew are all welcoming and friendly. We got no issues on our visit.
I have been to this place for a number of times, because of the food quality, ambiance and proximity to my place. My default order is their grilled pork chop, seafood ciopinno, iced tea and free bread 😊😊😊! Of course I have a bistro card to avail of 30% on mondays and 20% on other days good deal huh ! Will always have this in mind everytime I crave for good food at affordable price.
Hands down, an amazing restaurant. If you're into the classics, eating at Itallianis is the way to go. To-die-for ambiance, food, and customer service. There's no doubt that I'd come back here. LEGIT, YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE. CAN'T EMPHASIZE ENOUGH. I HAD BEEN WANTING TO EAT HERE, FINALLY TRIED IT, AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT ME.

P.S. Garlic bread is great also. Just sayin.
Every Italianni's restaurant is always packed especially for dinner. There's without a doubt that they serve amazing food and drinks. The portion of the salad can serve up to 4. The pasta is to die for especially the seafood pasta. The pizza is excellent too. I normally don't eat the crust on pizzas but the pizza here is so good even the crust. Service is amazing and the staff was polite. The only downside is the waiting time can be long if you haven't made reservations.
They used to have group meals which are good enough for 4 persons but sadly, it's not available anymore. Aside from their pastas and pizzas, I highly recommend the Sicilian Salad and Chicken Milanese. I love the cream sauce of the chicken dish. For desserts, I've tried the Boccone Dolce di Mango - it's a frozen 5 layer cake with mango ice cream. It's best served before dessert time so it would soften a bit.

Pricey (almost all bistro group) are really expensive but the quality of the food, ambience and service pays it off. I really love the salad, pasta and pizzas here!

It was around 6pm when we dined in Italliani's. There were a lot of people already but we were given a table immediately. The usual complimentary bread was served after we have placed our order. We started off our meal with Spinach and Artichoke Formaggio which is a house specialty. This was served with toasted bread, i would prefer a crostini though but its not bad with toasted bread. The formaggio is very thick and creamy. You have a choice of having 6pcs or 8pcs of bread. We also ordered Truffle Chicken and Mushroon which is also a house specialty and we agree that it should be a specialty. It does not just smell good but it also tastes good!! The portioning is good for 3 persons. We also had quattro formaggio pizza thin crust which is also a house specialty and deserves to be in the house specialty!! Its delicioso!!
The servers are professional and always smiling. Service is fast and place is clean.
Overall experience is really good. The food was yummy in the tummy and deserves a 2 thumbs up!!
My family’s favorite place to eat. We just feel so comfortable to this place. This is also a bistro group affiliated restaurant. Good place to dine and drink.
It’s our first time to dine here
The ambience is great and the food is good also~~~we order their chicken and if you come here next time,try it ~~😋
In itallianis, this is the salad that we love so much! They also have unlimited focacia bread which is the best as well! Pasta and pizza have big servings so definitely for sharing.
Came with friends to have our Valentine’s Day lunch. Foods were served hot and on time. Staffs were so accomodating and approachable. Ordered their lasagna, chicken alfredo, carbonara.
I had a great time with my boyfriend here. We just ordered lasagna and carbonara with glasses of red wine, but as always, I am impressed with the service they gave us. Very polite and attentive staff.
Will surely go back here.
Ordered baked ziti as always, USDA ribeye with rosemary potatoes & garlic rice and fresh lemonade. Missing the focaccia house bread, hope they will serve it again.
My personal fave is their Cosmopolitan Cocktail and The baked penne
Food: 10/10 they simply serve the best
Place: 9/10 Too crowded but very stylish, easy access to the parking lot.
Service: 10/10 I love the fact that they remember their regular clients by name.
Price: I personally think its really reasonable.
A very popular place, always full. But the success is justified by good food diversity of choice, excellent service. Their house wine is really nice for the price. A nit noisy though especially with birthday. But still a very nice place for pizza salad pasta or whatever italian dish you may like
Very accomodating staff, pretty ambience, great food!Like the way they greet customers in Italian language. Grazie mille! Well, hello to my new favourite restaurant. 👌🏻
Definitely one of my favorite Italian restaurants. The ambiance of the place makes my day. Everything is cozy and then you get free bread. How can I stick to my diet when Italianni's exists. Their wait staff are friendly and as for the food, I can't complain. Everything is rustic and just a good portion. The price is a little on the bougie side but it's worth for some dinner dates and family get togethers.
One of My favorite restaurants in Manila, really good food and very nice service. I am not a big fan of the BF menu (I wish everything was available all the time). One things a person must try is the Ravioli, its to die for. A little on the expensive side but totally worth it.
Looking for some authentic Italian food in town, just go here. They have a very cozy interior with options like inside and outside seating available. You will find a small bar with a lot of options, and with sports channel playing on it.
The menu is complete with everything u can have. I would recommend trying salads from their menu. The flavor of the food is very authentic and you will end up having a sumptuous experience out there.

I keep forgetting that the best thing in Italliannis is Their Fettuccini. But the Cioppino was great! Their bread appetizer with oil and vinegar is awesome too. You can never get enough of that.
The appetizers, pizzas, and pastas are very good. I love the Truffle fries, as well as the truffle mushroom and quatro formaggio pizzas. I was a little bit disappointed with their steaks, (both ribeye and new york strip) as I was expecting it to be tastier but it’s probably a matter of personal taste. The ambience is great (the place can be a bit crowded during lunch time on Mondays). The wait staff are attentive and polite and very accommodating. We had an issue once with the billing and they were able to resolve it quickly so kudos to them. The is a definite must try.
I’ve eaten here several times and I am always happy with the quality of the food. In particular the Sicilian Salad and Spaghetti Pomodoro are favorites. The bread with EVOO and balsamic is a delicious way to start. Pizzas are tasty and creative as well. BBQ ribs get rave reviews , especially considering it isn’t usually the specialty of an Italian restaurant
The only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is the slow or disorganized service that often occurs. The staff is friendly but it seems they get overwhelmed by the volume of customers or perhaps the kitchen is disorganized. One time we received our carafe of Frozen Watermelon something alcohol drink - ordered at the same time as our food- when we were 2/3 done with our entree - after having salad . Server was apologetic but we ordered it to enjoy with the meal and basically it became a giant after dinner drink 😂
But - you go for the food and that is a Win here !
Firt time to eat here. I am not a fan of pasta, salad and pizza.✌️ But tried it here and it's okay. What I really love is their boccone dolce di mango. I could eat 2 slices all by myself.😍 The truffle chips (yes it is chips not fries) is true to its description, thin and crispy.

Whenever I crave for a taste of Authentic italian cuisine in the metro, Italianni's could ease that craving. Be indulge with their scrumptious dishes.
I always ask myself how do I spent my time with my family! :) But hey! Itallanis would be a great place to be at! Worth your money, time and effort!
I've been here many times and this branch never fails to satisfy me. Great customer service as usual.
Food is a bit pricey but great-tastiing.
We've tried their super expensive dessert "Tartufo" and it was soooooooo delicious! Give it a try too! 😉
The place is wide enough to cater many customers.
Will keep on coming back. 👌🏻😃
Sicilian Salad is must try..... Herbed Rosted Chicken Platter is also good... Creme Brulee is yummy... Added to their great food is the service they provided.. They are very accomodting and friendly... Kudos to this branch... I feel so homey... Thanks:)
When I think of Italianni's, I typically think of this branch in particular as it has become a bit of an institution. It's one of the better examples of a Bistro restaurant run right, especially when it comes to family style dining.
Salad options are always solid choices and great for sharing. Sure the Caesar Salad tastes mostly the same across Bistro restaurants and that's not bad, but feel free to try the Sicilian Chicken Salad instead for more variety.
We typically go for the pork chops, which can be split into two plates when you get the two piece version so it's a nice sharing option. Their signature Chicken Italianni's is also a great choice.
Pasta options are crazy generous in sizes so bring your appetite. Their Fettuccine Beef Ragu is a personal favorite but even their classic Pomodoro is pretty reliable.
Service is pretty good but definitely better when you're seated inside versus the outdoor dining area. And yes, you can still do the whole birthday thing for added fun.
Italianni's never lose their Rustic Charm.
This is the best branch I ever went to. It's so big, wide and spacious. I never thought I would enjoy dining here. Most of their branch are kinda cramped for me, but this one, didn't disappoint.
We went here for a very late lunch yesterday. We had Carbonara Classico (which I thought, they would use eggs, instead, they used cream. On their Glorietta branch, they used uncooked prosciutto, in here, fried bacon, which was too salty for me.) Tropicale (your typical hawaiian pizza, because boyfriend likes hawaiian pizzas) and Beef Roast Melt with Garlic Rice.
Big pasta portions and cheap cocktails with an elegant ambiance. Good quality food too. Had available lovely evening and will definitely return.
I'm currently here at Italianni's while writing this review. This is my 3rd time in this branch, and for today, we ordered the Prime Ribeye steak. I wasnt expecting that much because this is not a steak house. For the doneness, I chose medium while my two other siblings and dad chose medium rare. Flavor wise, it's good. But for the tenderness, it was too tough for a medium and medium rare. There are parts that are very tough that it's like an exercise for my jaw to chew. 🤣 but for the service, everyone is very attentive and polite. So for that, I'll give this resto a 4.0
First time to eat in Italianni's but definitely one of the best I've ever had. Pricey but worth it 👍🏻
Celebrated my boyfriend's 25th birthday here, last Dec. 22, 2017. After giving our orders, one of their staffs approaced us and offered their BFF card-which includes discounts and freebies with Italianni's and their affiliate Bistro Group restos. My boyfriend availed for the card which costs, P2500. The price was consumeable whenever you're going to eat at Bistro Group restos. 10% and 20% discount, birthday discount and even free tea if you'll use the card, although they have some restrictions. By the way, the card is only valid for 1 year upon availment. In our case, since it's my bf's birthday, we were covered by their 20% off on our bill.
To conclude, Italianni's one of the best formal dining I've experienced.
Great customer service + yummy food + happy ambiance = perfect family date night
Everyone is just smiling, they are even patient with my niece who keeps on asking for something (water, more garlic bread, etc) and treats her just the same as the adults. Definitely coming back again

A great place to chill with a band playing at the background and a glass of wine in your hand.
We tried their set meal 1 and it was fulfilling!
One of the best pastas and pizzas I had. The staff are great as well as the place. The price is higher than average but it’s worth it. I highly recommend this place!
Had a mild lunch here at italiannis we ordered seafood pasta and 2pcs porckchop and 2 bottomless drink. Food was great specially the pasta love it service is good.
Went here for breakfast and even though it was full the service was prompt and good.
Food was ok, though nothing spectacular. We got the shitake omelette and their tapa. What we enjoyed most was the french toast ala carte as it was soft, moist and tasty.
Sinigang, Kaldereta and Sisig are some of my personal favorite when it comes to Filipino dishes. Who wouldn’t love the sourly broth of sinigang especially when it’s raining or the tomato based stew dish called Kaldereta. Some people would prefer it in classic way of cooking just like how our grandmother used to cooked it. What if you can have these delicious viands into something new and creative way of preparation? Kinda interesting right? Neil’s Kitchen started as a catering business and eventually out of people’s demand they opened a restaurant which can be found along Westgate in Alabang. Trust me, your trip to South will all worth it once you tried Neil’s Kitchen dishes.

We all know Italianni's Restaurant as one of the restaurants managed by the Bistro Group. Known for their honest-to-goodness authentic Italian dishes, only a few know that a few branches actually serves an awesome array of breakfast menu. I have come to know this myself only after I got invited for an FMU (foodie meet up) by Zomato.
Our moms had always been right, NEVER SHOULD WE SKIP BREAKFAST. Simply because it's the most important meal of the day. And thus, you deserve the best that Italianni's has to offer. In this fast paced society we live in, a hearty, wholesome, healthy power breakfast is all we need to lift our moods and providing you the energy and zest you need throughout the day.
Amidst all the hype of all the fancy new brunch places popping up around the CBD, we thought to bring you a list of Italianni's Breakfast Specials which will only be available for a limited engagement (So hurry guys and try it out while it lasts!). Oh, and btw, they are only made available at the following Italianni's branches: Italianni's Greenbelt, Bonifacio High Street, and Vista Mall in Laguna.
Here's what you can expect from their Chef's Breakfast Kitchen Menu:
* All meals come with complimentary tea or coffee.
Breakfast Porkchop---Porkchop marinated in Italianni's choice of herbs and spices, seared to perfection and served with egg. You can have a choice of pairing it with either garlic rice or potato hash. It had that charred taste with a delicious basting and it was very flavorful that there's no need to reach for a dipping sauce.
Fried Eggplant with Sausage--A classic Filipino dish, fried eggplant toppled with sausage, pickled onion and oregano served with garlic rice. Eggplant or Aubergine goes perfectly well with the sausages. And as they say in the vernacular, "mapapadami ang kain mo ng kanin." [You will be asking for more cups of rice]. Even if you're not a fan of eggplant, you will certainly like this dish, that's for sure.
Smoked Capocollo Ham with Avocado--Fresh from the oven sourdough bread topped with capocollo ham, sliced avocado, poached egg and arugula. Capocollo or coppa is a traditional Italian and Corsican pork cold cut (salume). It is similar to the more widely known cured ham or prosciutto, because they are both pork-derived cold-cuts that are used in similar dishes. This open faced sandwich is one of my favorites among the Italianni's Chef Breakfast Kitchen menu. The sourdough was very chewy and I didn't know the ham will go well with the avocado slices on top. It's really very filling and I'll certainly recommend it for those people on-the-go who wanted to grab a bite but will still have a healhy and filling meal for breakfast.
Smoked Tinapa Delight--Tinapa fillet topped with tomato relish served with Italianni's homemade garlic rice and scrambled egg. Oh, and it also had this special vinegar dipping sauce. I'm not sure if it's sinamak or pinakurat but it kinda tastes that way. More importantly, it perfectly complements eating the tinapa fillet and garlic rice. I could imagine myself eating Italianni's Smoket Tinapa Delight on a rainy day as I sip on my cup of hot coffee and taking spoonfuls of this dish. I had to stop here as it is making me salivate already by thinking about the dish alone and remembering how it tasted like.
Italian Prosciutto Eggs Benedict--Crusty sourdough bread topped with cream, tomato, basil, prosciutto, poached egg with hollandaise and pesto sauce. Such a delectable and satisfying dish with heavenly drizzle of the hollandaise sauce. A perfect way to start up your day or to begin an indulgent weekend.
Pili Granola with Yoghurt--Rolled oats on a bed of yoghurt topped with pili nuts and cranberries. Drizzled with caramel. The oh-so-crunchy granola bits swimming on a plate of healthy yoghurt aren't only good to look at, they taste just as good too. And they're also powerfoods which means they are good for your tummy too. The good news is, it's not as sweet as you think it is. Eat this dish and your stomach will be thanking you for the healthy meal you're putting into your body's system.
French Toast Platter--Six slices of French Toast topped with tropical fruits served with whipped butter and salted caramel. We were surprised to see that this French Toast platter is good for sharing. Yes, you can share the foods and share the calories as well. With its sweet cinnamon taste, how could your day go wrong? The fruits provide some tartness so even if you want to eat this alone, there won't be a "sawa" or "umay" factor. Meaning to say, you won't get tired eating it. Again, this is another favorite of mine from the Italianni's line up of breakfast dishes. I could eat their French Toast and never cared about the calories because it tastes so goood. As in really, really good. Even without the salted caramel sauce, I swear! It's good on its own.
Chorizo and Fennel Sausage Puff--Delicate puff pastry case filled with sauteed Italian sausage and Spanish chorizo, feta cheese, and marinated cherry tomatoes. The puff wedges have absorbed the flavors of each ingredient, they’re gorgeously browned in clarified butter and filled with chorizo and fennel sausage for a smart salty contrast.
So this is what is an ideal “Italianni's breakfast" is all about. Leave it to the famous Bistro Group Chef breakfast kitchen menu to concoct the perfect formula. It should involve cups of coffee or tea, of course, and freshly baked breads to go along with it. You’ll find all these at selected Italianni's establishment, where breakfast begins at 7:00 a.m. We like pairing these breakfast specialties with a mason jar of their iced coffee frappe. It will keep you buzzing all day.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day right?? A good breakfast is all I need to keep me going throughout the day. Honestly, I didn’t know that Italiannis serves breakfast meals until I have personally tried it few days ago. Hubby and I went all the way to their greenbelt branch (they only have it in selected branches huhu) and with no regrets we enjoyed their Chef’s Breakfast Kitchen selection so much that we can’t wait to be back. Please bring it to the South!

Breakfast isn’t usually associated with Italianni’s but it should be because they do it so well! So for a limited engagement (awww!), selected branches like Italianni’s Greenbelt, Bonifacio High Street and Vista Mall in Laguna are serving these delicious dishes.
From their Chef’s Breakfast Kitchen, here are some of their great tasting breakfast meals which come with your choice of coffee or tea.
Breakfast Pork Chop - Italianni’s does this chop justice with the right marinade and seared perfectly. You can choose to eat it with garlic rice or potato hash. I ate mine with potato hash and with the poached egg, it made for a very tasty meal.
Fried Eggplant with Sausage - I do not like eggplant and very rarely eat the slimy thing but Italianni’s cooked their version of this torta so well I was taking a second and then a third bite.
Smoked Capocollo Ham with Avocado - If you’re a health nut, you would love this open-faced sandwich. The sourdough bread is very chewy and the ham paired well with the creamy avocado. This low-cal meal is still very filling despite of how it initially looks and enough to power you the entire day.
Smoked Tinapa Delight - The fish was smoked just right and the salt and spices used did not overpower the fish. I loved that it was already filleted (I hate fish bones) and bundled with garlic rice, scrambled egg and tomato relish, it’s the quintessential but upgraded Pinoy breakfast.
Italian Prosciutto Eggs Benedict - Another open-faced sandwich, this is a saltier and stronger-flavored cousin of the Smoked Capocollo Ham with Avocado. The sandwich is topped with Prosciciutto ham, sliced tomatoes, basil, poached egg, hollandaise and pesto sauce. This was a delectable sandwich that’s deceptively filling (if you feel like you’re missing the top half of the bread).
Pili Granola with Yoghurt - This takes me back to my hometown - the crunchy granola married with the fresh and healthy yogurt. The dish relies on the natural flavors of the granola and the yogurt, so it’s not too sweet. Plenty of calorie room for the next dish we ate….
French Toast Platter - I could eat this all day - cinnamon-sweet french toast topped with fruits and salted caramel - what’s not to like? It's not too sweet and the fruits provide a tartness that is refreshing. This is good for sharing but I couldn’t help but munch a few more slices than usual (sorry, not sorry).
If you’re near one of their branches that serve breakfast, drop by and indulge. You won't be sorry. Prices range from P350-P395.
“Breakfast of Champions” is an overused phrase but I must say that these words kept floating through my mind after I discovered the CHEF’S BREAKFAST KITCHEN by ITALIANNI’S. While this Italian joint is already widely popular, it’s not exactly the first place that would come to mind when you’re looking for a place to grab breakfast. If you haven’t tried it yet, please do. You can thank me later.
Been here 2x in Greenbelt Branch. We always order the Bundle Feast Good for 3 can also be good for 4 if you are light eaters. Food here is always good. Just takes a while to serve. Staff are friendly and attentive.

Breakfast Pork Chop - Seared marinated pork chop served with egg and garlic or potato hash
Smoked Tinapa Delight - Filipino breakfast favorite but is a boneless one. Has tomato relish served with garlic rice plus scrambled egg
Fried Eggplant with Sausage - Looked like tortang talong to me. But is sausage, pickled onion and oregano on top of fried eggplant
Smoked Capocollo Ham with Avocado - Bread topped with capocollo ham, avocado, poached egg and arugula. My favorite! And is definitely a healthy dish as well.
Chorizo & Fennel Sausage Puff - Savory puff pastry covered with sauteed Italian sausage, Spanish chorizo, feta cheese and marinated cherry tomatoes.
Italian Prosciutto Eggs Benedict - Cream, tomato, basil, prosciutto, poached egg with hollandaise and pesto sauce on top of a bread

Italiannis is known for its good Italian dishes that is served to the masses. Now they have their Chef Breakfast Specials that will fill you up for the day. These are only limited to Greenbelt, Vista Mall, Bonifacio High Street, and Nuvali Here are some of the breakfast items that I would highly recommend:
Breakfast Pork Chop (395.00 php) - Served with your choice of garlic rice or potato hash. You gotta get this with garlic rice. My Most Valuable Dish among the bunch.
Smoked Tinapa Delight (395.00 php) - They never missed out on that smoky flavor of the tinapa. It is served with garlic rice and scrambled egg. For me, truly a local flavor that I enjoyed.
Capocollo Ham & Avocado (350.00 php) - It comes with poached egg & arugula over sourdough bread. A great alternative if you are cutting out of the carbs. Not too salty and the avocado gives it a nice texture.
Pili Granola with Yogurt (385.00 php) - Oats with yogurt, topped off with Pili nuts, berries, and caramel drizzle. Something light for the morning.
French Toast Platter (395.00 php) - The big daddy of the bunch! Six slices of french toast topped with fruits, cream, and salted caramel. For a heavy morning load or for sharing as well.
There are other items to try on like the Fried Eggplant w/ Sausage (365.00 php), Chorizo & Fennel Sausage Puff (375.00 php), and Italian Prosciutto Eggs Benedict (375.00 php). If you every get a chance to drop by near the area, you gotta give this a shot as this will surely jump start your morning. Better if you also try out their new coolers. Available from 7:00 am to 10:00 am.

Italianni's, one of the restaurants under the Bistro Group, serves both classic and modern Italian dishes that's perfect for either a family gathering, business meeting or a casual meet up with friends.
I have been a frequent customer of Italianni's because of its big servings and tasty food (e.g., salads, pastas, pizzas, etc.) but it was my first time to try (and know about it) their breakfast menu.
There are 8 delicious breakfast meals from their Chef's Breakfast Kitchen that comes with a complimentary coffee or tea.
✔️Breakfast Pork Chop - The pork chop was marinated in herbs and spices, seared and served with egg and your choice of garlic rice or potato hash. The pork chop was really seared to perfection! It was juicy and tender. The potato hash is a good addition to the meat.
✔️Smoked Tinapa Delight - Tinapa fillet topped with tomato relish and served with garlic rice and scrambled egg. Being a native delicacy here in the Philippines, I have tasted a lot of Tinapa bit this one did not disappoint! The flavors of the fish came through and you can taste the smokiness of the fish.
✔️Fried Eggplant with Sausage - Fried eggplant topped with sausage, pickled onions and oregano served with garlic rice. For someone who does not eat eggplants, I really liked this dish because I don't get the usual taste of the eggplant and it was not soggy at all! The combination of the eggplant, sausage and pickled onions is a great idea because you'd get to enjoy different textures and flavors. It also comes with salsa rather than the usual ketchup which is a really good concept! It works!
✔️Smoked Capocollo Ham with Avocado - Sourdough bread topped with capocollo ham, sliced avocado, poached egg and arugula. Capocollo ham is similar with prosciutto but unlike the latter, Capocollo is not brined or soaked in salt thus the dish is not salty. The bread tasted liked it just came out of the oven. The dish is definitely a hearty meal in the morning.
✔️Chorizo & Funnel Sausage Puff - Puff pastry case filled with sautéed Italian sausage and Spanish chorizo, feta cheese and marinated cherry tomatoes.
✔️Italian Prosciutto Eggs Benedict - Sourdough bread topped with cream, tomato, basil, prosciutto, poached egg with hollandaise and pesto sauce. One of my favorite, the saltiness from the prosciutto and the consistency of the hollandaise and pesto sauce made it memorable. Like the smoked ham with avocado dish, the bread felt like it just got out the oven.
✔️Pili Granola with Yoghurt - Oats over a bed of yoghurt topped with pili nuts and cranberries. Drizzled with caramel! As I'm writing that down, it's like its just there in front of me. I am addicted to this!
✔️French Toast Platter - 6 slices of french toast topped with tropical fruits and serves with whipped cream and salted caramel. Definitely great for sharing!
A good reason to wake up early in the morning, these breakfast items are only available from 7:00AM to 10:30AM at selected branches - Greenbelt (Makati), Bonifacio High Street (Taguig) and Vista Mall (Laguna).

Loved the pizza and pasta. Classy ambiance. Fast service. They have live performance to entertain guest too. I remember they gave flowers to those old ladies and dance with them. Such a cutie act.
When I'm craving for pasta. There's no other resto that crosses my mind but Italianni's. You can literally try any dish and not regret it at all. Everything is good that I'm always having a hard time which one to order. 😂

Got invited by ZomatoPH for a foodie meet up in Makati (Greenbelt) a few weeks back and since I haven't attended one in the past 2 years ( May 2015 was my last), I immediately CONFIRMED.
Besides, who would say no to Bistro Groups' flagship brand, ITALIANNI'S?
It was also a great time to meet new people from the Zomato community and gain new friends who shares the same passion and love for FOOD (laughs).
So... these were the dishes we were able to try and had enjoyed (My apologies, you have to check the photos while reading):

Here's my take on the dishes (btw, please remember that food taste is RELATIVE, so don't just trust my word/review, go visit Italliani's and try them...
1. Herb Pork Chop and Grilled Pork Skewers: Both are flavorful and filling but I prefer more the pork skewers since the pork chop was too thick and too fatty for me.
2. Spinach Artichoke Formaggio: You'll never go wrong with this one! I loved it then, still love it now.
3. Beef Stew with Spaghetti Aglio Olio: Err... Just go with the Aglio Olio.
4. Shrimps Aglio: My favorite in the Line up! Trust me, the PhP 545.00 price point you'll be paying for this dish will be TRULY WORTH IT!!!! When I visit Italianni's again, I'll order this alone with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc :D
5. Toasted Ravioli: Good but nothing exceptional, I tried better ones at lesser price point in other Italian restaurant.
6. Beef Roast Melt with Garlic Rice: Maybe it's just me or on that day, my palate didn't like beef as I didn't enjoy any of their beef dishes.
7. Mussels Lombardi: Not really a fan of Mussels but hey, the foodie who sat beside me LOVED it and was able to finish the whole serving (which is plenty) by himself.
8. Prosciutto e Formaggio: Another Italianni's dish that I will come back for and enjoy with a bottle of red wine.
9. The desserts/ Tartufo, Boconne, Dolce di Mango and New York Cheesecake: If you've been reading my reviews, you know already that I'm not fond of sweets (I DON'T eat cake unless I get what I call my "Sweet Attack" where I crave for ice cream, chocolates the whole day, which only happens twice a year). The good thing about foodie meet up is that I get to see the reaction of the people I dine with so as for these expensive sugar rush, ALL the foodie with me that day LOVED THEM ALL so I'm sure that people who loves cake will love them too.
Btw, for wine lovers/enthusiasts, you'll love their house wine/pour, ROMIO from Italy. This one I can guarantee as this brand was of my PUSH brand when I was still with PWM and did a lot of wine tasting event in the Quezon City, San Juan and Pasig area for the brand.
Finally, F-A-S:
Food: Almost perfect.
Ambiance: a little renovation or upgrade will do especially at the Alfresco area.
Service: I still prefer the service at their branch in Eastwood.
Ciao!

It was a pleasure for me to experience tasting all the new things that Italianni's had to offer. Here are dome of the things that I got to try and my thoughts on them.
Best of Lunch (Mondays-Thursday 11 AM-3PM)
1. Beef Roast Melt with Garlic Rice P425
This dish can be summed up with one word: cheesy. Cheesy as in the flavor, not the expression (now that was cheesy, hehe). The vegetables were tender and absorbed the flavor of the sauce, which had a slight taste of red wine in it. The meat itself was flavorful, and was soft enough that I could cut it with a fork.
2. Beef Stew with Spaghetti Aglio Olio P395
The aglio olio was not overwhelming in taste. I could barely savor the flavor of olive oil and herbs in it. While in other instances that might be bad, it serves as a good contrast to the stew that bursts with flavor. I must say that one must try this particular dish and start with the stew to soak up the tomato sauce and red wine before cleaning up the palate with the pasta.
3. Grilled Pork Skewers with Garlic Rice P375
The meat was chewy but had a lot of flavor in it. It was a bit tricky to fit in all the minced tomatoes into the spoon, but it complements the meat very well. I prefer to eat it without its sauce, as it can become quite salty with it.
4. Herb Pork Chop with Garlic Rice P375
A personal favorite of mine. The pork chop is thick but cooked through, and it also does not need its sauce to stand out. Peppery, salty, good.
Appetizers
1. Spinach and Artichoke Formaggio - Lunch P395 / Regular P680 / Abbodanza P850
I recommend this appetizer. The dip is delightfully creamy, and it is a must for cheese lovers. Combine it with the garlic toast and it is a recipe to die for.
2. Toasted Ravioli - Lunch P395 / Regular P595
This dish is pleasing to the eye with its streaks of green, white, and red. The colors of Italy, and the colors of olive oil and pesto, cream, and tomato sauce. I recommend smothering the ravioli in the sauce to really soak up all that flavor.
Dessert
1. Boccone Dolce di Mango P395
My favorite dessert, bar none. Mango desserts are risky. Sometimes they are either too sweet or sour. This one gets the formula just right. The mango syrup complements the mango pieces by giving the tongue a different way to taste the beloved summer fruit.
2. Tartufo P425
The chocolate icing is not too sweet, and the cake is creamy and cold, perfect for the summer months. I suggest trying this one if you are a chocolate lover.
3. New York Cheesecake P425
Unfortunately, this dessert is not all that tasty compared to the others. The graham cracker crust was quite stiff and the cheesecake portion did not wow me. I very much prefer the precious two.
Italianni's has been one of the most established Bistro Group restaurants in the Philippines. In my opinion, they opened the world of Italian food to the Filipinos and their consistency is the reason why they have survived the competition.

Lunch decisions can sometimes get so hard especially when you've already run out of options and you have a budget to follow. That's why it's quite fitting and helpful when restaurants come up with lunch sets!. Welcome to Italianni's Greenbelt!. Good thing Italianni's decided to make lunch decisions easier, especially for those working and usually pressed for time! BEST OF LUNCH! Four Sets of lunch meals served from Monday to Thursday, 11AM to 3PM. Starting at 375Php, they have pork and beef options that are not only tasty but filling too!

Italianni's is one of those restaurant where you can never go wrong on almost all the food you order. They serve great Italian dishes as well as Filipino too. They now offer Best of Lunch Specials from Mondays - Thursdays at 11am - 3pm. This includes:
- Beef Roast Melt with Garlic Rice 425
The beef was very tender as you can slice it in strips. The sauce was thick and the carrots and melted cheese added great flavor to it.
- Beef Stew with Spaghetti Aglio Olio 395
The beef was simmered well to have that thick consistency of sauce. Pasta was al dente too with olives and fresh tomatoes on top.
- Grilled Pork Skewers with Garlic Rice 375
It was grilled to perfection. I love how these skewers were marinated well as you can tell since the flavor comes through the meat. The salsa, which consists of chopped olives and tomatoes gave that contrast effect to the pork making you want to have more. I love the soy sauce that comes with it too. It was of course salty but a bit sweet too.
- Herb Pork Chop with Garlic Rice 375
The pork was brushed with barbecue sauce and it was grilled tenderly considering its thick cut. This is my favorite of all Lunch Specials.
- Spinach and Artichoke Formaggio - Lunch 395
This ones so so creamy. Very good paired with its toasted garlic bread.
- Toasted Ravioli - Lunch 395 / Regular 595
Even though it was dipped with its sauce. The Ravioli's still crisp when chewed. I so love this dish. The creamy Marinara sauce and Basil Pesto was so good. I can eat this dish alone.
- Prosciutto e Formaggio - 695
A plate which consist of Milano Salami, Parma Ham, Gongonzola Cheese and Parmigiano-Regguano Cheese. This is great paired with wine.
- Mussels Lombardi - 595
I love how this was sauted in butter, garlic and white wine.
The Peach Mango drink is great this summer. It has bits of pure Peach and Mango which I think is a great combination.
- New York Cheesecake 425
This one's good too but I've had great Cheesecakes from other restaurants.
- Tartufo 425
This three layered Chocolate Cake has that bitter taste because of the Dark Chocolate. It also has White Chocolate Mousse and it was sealed in its fudgey frosting.
- Boccone Dolce di Mango 395
The layers of Meringue, Mango Ice Cream and Fresh diced Mango is all you need to end your meal here in Italianni's. This one's my favorite and I highly recommend you order this and this will not disappoint.
Italianni's has had the honor of become a long-standing restaurant in Greenbelt. Its enticing meals and comfortable atmosphere has gained the attention and admiration of diners who have desired high quality in their meals. . During our visit, we tried out an entire array of their Lunch, Appetizer, and Dessert selections.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Italianni's in Greenbelt has been in its prime spot for as long as I can remember, long before I started working. Nothing much has changed. From what I recall they still have the same set up. Looks rather worn but the charm is still there. Takes me back to happy dining memories. On this occassion, we had the pleasure of trying out their NEW 'Best of Lunch' set menu. First was the Grilled Pork Chops with Garlic Rice. Now who in their right frame of mind would not like this dish. It was grilled perfectly. The meat was fork tender and had a lovely smokey taste even without the soy dipping sauce. Great pair with the garlic rice. The Beef Roast Melt with Garlic Rice was another winning dish. The name itself gives you an idea on how the meat should be. It was tender soft! Topped with cheese and a very flavor rich sauce, this is a great lunch option. The Beef Stew with Spaghetti Aglio Olio is made for pasta lovers! The lightly seasoned pasta with olives and cherry tomatoes goes well with the heavily sauced up Beef Stew! If there was an option to add on another side of pasta, I would have definitely grabbed it because there was more sauce and meat for another serving. The Grilled Pork Skewers with Garlic Rice had a side of tomato salsa or slaw. This dish had too much spices that i had to scrap some off. The pork was overcooked. Looking at the photo and what was served, i would even say that it might have taken too much time in the grill.
The appetizers that I love is the Spinach and Artichoke Formaggio! Oh paired with their soft, buttered garlic bread is a great way to have the kids eat up their fair share of vegetables and protein. The regular size is not enough for me, in my honest opinion. The Toasted Ravioli is another winning dish. One has to taste to believe.
We were served three desserts but the one that stood out and for good reason is their Cheesecake on a bed of amarreto strawberry. The cake was dense yet silky smooth. Another dessert meant to share but for me, I think there should be no room for sharing if it is this good. Service was quick, but if you are having lunch, just a tip, ask to be seated inside since this summer heat is intolerable.
Disclaimer: Lunch was sponsored by The Bistro Group and Italianni's.

Another awesome foodie adventure has transpired days ago as I try Best of Lunch sets of Italianni's Restaurant in Greenbelt, Makati.
Best of Lunch sets include Herb Pork Chops with Garlic Rice that has a Filipino kick each of us is longing for. It's like a grilled liempo on a Sunday boodle fight with the family. I love it. Beef Roast Melt with Garlic Rice is just so-so for me. Beef Stew with Spaghetti Aglio Olio is good. I love the pasta having the right level of spiciness. Perfect combination with the beef stew. Grilled Pork Skewers with Garlic Rice is my next favorite after the pork chops. The skewers are well seasoned and I think more for the adventurous ones.
Best of Lunch sets are available from Mondays to Thursdays, 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM only. This can be your lunch time habit.
But wait, there's more! I also got a chance to try some of their best antipasto.
Spinach and Artichoke Formaggio, which is house's specialty,is made out of spinach, artichoke and mushroom in a creamy blend of cheeses served with garlic bread. Italianni's Toasted Ravioli is by far my favorite Ravioli on earth. The crispiness made a really great impression with oozing cheese inside partnered with marinara sauce and basil pesto. I got "kilig" on my first bite.

Italianni's is one of my all-time favorites. I've been a patron for over 19 years now, back when they had their first branch in the old Greenbelt along Legazpi Street, when they were still under the Rodriguezes. It has never failed my expectations - from breakfast, appetizers, main course, dessert and even drinks! They are pricey but every bit worth it.
Most of the special times in my life were celebrated here - my 13th birthday, high school graduation, college graduation, Mother's Day, Anniversaries, New Year's Eve, Christmas Eve, son's birthday, family members' birthdays, NBA payoffs and more!
Very efficient staff. I hope they never lower their standards.
The place is enticing. It can get pretty noisy downstairs, but the upper level is where you can find solace.
The food is great. Everything is tasty. The Tartufo is damn expensive for a piece of cake but my lord it is gooood. Steak, porkchops, chicken, calamari, pomodoro, truffle, I can go on and on.
Get the frequent foodie card to maximize your visits. There are so many perks if you plan to visit the Bistro restaurants often. Ex: Wine 50% off and cocktails at 30%off before 7PM, free coffee, P250 off if you spend P1000...
I miss the old focaccia bread though!
Consistently the best Italianni's branch. The food and service are never disappointing. IF however you decide to order a glass of wine, be prepared to wait a minimum of 10 and upwards of 20 minutes before your wine is served. Given the price of a glass , its rather strange that customers must wait so long
Will remain as one of my favorite ever since. Comfort food. Staff are very polite and cheerful. Price is right with generous serving. I will definitely recommend their truffle pizza.

Italliani's remains to be one of the go-to-places for delicious Italian grub. This is my default choice when i am suddenly hit by massive waves of indecisiveness.
We had late lunch x early dinner at their Greenbelt 2 branch yesterday. I met with a good friend and we both wanted something light.
Albeit the number of years on their belt, this branch still exudes a quiet and rustic charm. They are a decades behind in terms of design but I don't mind as the vintage feel makes diners feel at home.
Let us talk about the food, shall we?
| Shrimp and Chive with Marirose Dressing (Php 450). Prawns, creamy pesto sauce, mozzarella, spring onion, fresh dill and lemon wedge. Topped with marirose dressing, green apples and alfalfa. Thin crust pizza is always a good idea. You get perfect proportions of dough and the topping. The pesto sauce works well with the prawns and mozzarella. I dunno what Marirose is (too lazy to google), but I guess this makes the pizza refreshing. The green apples adds an interesting flavor combination as the semi sweet fruit adds crunch and tones the down the pesto.
| Chicken and Spinach Angel Hair (Php 450). Marinated grilled chicken sautéed in white wine, garlic, tomato, spinach and mushrooms tossed in angel hair pasta. I dunno if it is coincidence but i think we created a perfect pizza and pasta pairing. The beautiful plate of delicious pasta tastes like spring. The veggies and the flavorful meat is a match made in pasta heaven. I like the fact that I don't taste wine...dont get me wrong, i like drinking wine but i dont like em in my food. These are two things which are meant to be enjoyed separately. And yes, the pasta is delicious.
We had a satisfying meal at Italliani's. I am planning to go back for some takeaway grub for the coming Winter Solstice.
Peace Out!

Their staff are courteous. We came there dinner and the place was full. We were like 6th in the waiting list but when they learned that I was pregnant they prioritized us first and we didn't wait long to get a table. The food was great! I love their carbonara. And the staff are so friendly. Great job! Hope to come back soon!

Always amazing to eat at Italianni's. The baked ziti and the artichoke dip are topnotch, the truffle cream pasta and quattro formaggio pizza are divine and the herb roasted chicken is the best I've had so far. Always a pleasure to celebrate a birthday here.
The service was really good. They accommodated us very well. The food on the other hand tasted good, i loved the truffle fries/chips. But the truffle pasta with chicken and mushrooms was a bit bland, the taste of the truffle didn't really blow up in my mouth as much as i wanted it too
