One of our favorite restos in Manila. Their porkchop is a must try! It is served with potatoes and veggies. Staff here is also very helpful and friendly.
This is a great place to have a meeting in Intramuros. The food was great too. They were delicious and well-prepared. Service is great as well. Zomato gold promo made it more enjoyable too!
Took a long hiatus from writing in Zomato. Zomato can do more to appreciate the effort that foodies like me put in to feeding their content. That being said, WOW. I had such a great meal I had to put my thoughts somewhere. The dishes were creative and cooked to perfection. The services is attentive and friendly. If you are in the area, make sure you visit this place.
Since the last time I went here, this restaurant made a huge improvement on their food quality. Prosciutto pizza is a must! Though I would suggest they should hire more servers. Service is quite slow and servers often forget what you already asked for
Fantastic place to have long conversations. The ambiance is quite nice. It also offers a great view of the Manila Cityhall with the Intramuros Walls especially at night.
They honor zomato gold. Must try is their Rib Eye Steak, pizzas and pastas

Great to visit Raffaele again for the 2nd time. First time to try it was 5 years ago. All of their dishes are still "delizioso". Started out with a complimentary bread and dip. Plain pizza crust cut into pieces dip with balsamic vinegrette. We thought we could ask for another serving but this time they charge 100php for that. Well, everything now comes with a price.
These are the food we ordered:
1.) Uva Salad - mixed greens with seedless grapes, ricotta, candied walnut and roasted almond. Refershing
2.)Mushroom amd Truffle pasta - Fantastic!! The taste of the truffle cream with brandy complimented it with penne pasta.
3.)Raffaele Gamberetti - Flavorful shrimp with sweet blend of citrius and olive oil.
4.)Four Cheese Pizza - brickoven cooked to perfertion top with Aragula.
5.) Tomahawk Porkchop - succulent porkchop in rosemary amd buttered potatoes.
6.) Butter Roast Chicken - Half juicy and tender Chicken with roasted garlic, tomato amd yogurt sprinkled with rosemary.
7.) Dolci Al Ciocolato - warm chocolate pudding with milk to end the night.
Overall, it was a great dinner especially availing of Zomato Gold you will get a free dish😊
The vegan pizza is divine!!! Although I added cheese so it became vegetarian but still... glad there’s an option. Also, the chickpea & kale soup was a surprise hit, I almost ordered another one! Great service, too
We originally wanted to book the Skydeck but it was raining so we made a reservation here instead. It was a blessing in disguise because dining here was such an amazing experience! The food was exquisite and very delicious. The price (given that it was in a hotel) was not that pricey and the value of the food is worth your every penny. I was with my boyfriend when we ate here, I guess they thought it was our anniversary so they gave us a free blueberry cheesecake! I was so confused because it was not our special day but I really appreciate the thoughtfulness of the restaurant. We will definitely come back here.
They have a great 4cheese pizza. Not everyone knows the place but their brickoven pizza sets them apart from other pizza parlor - giving the crust some justice.
Good place for romantic dinner. I really loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Dimmed lights, food view for city hall and quiet music.
Service was good, there were always someone ready to assist us.
I tried 4 cheese pizza, I was expecting something better. I could feel only 2 cheese, crust was as it should be. Other dish we ordered was from 9 spoons but it was delicious - I recommend fried chicken.
Second time visiting Bayleaf for a nice meal. Definitely a great experience for us again!
The service was excellent; the waitress at the time was very helpful throughout our time on deciding what to order; she always gives us the descriptions that we need to hear.
Definitely wanna come back to try the other food items on the menu. We wanted to try the crispy chicken with furikake, but it wasn't available at the time.
Serving sizes were quite good, and in a
generous amounts.
Nice Italian restaurant. Great food there. Fish and pizza amazing. Try the eggplant pizza very masarap. Located in the middle of intramuros. Best location!
Great Place to dine with family and friends.. We tried their Prosciutto Pizza and Mushroom Pasta and we loved it! The Dolci cake was also worth the wait (but you mst order in advance coz it takes a while).
They serve the best wood fired pizzas! We love the Butcher's Choice and Cheese Steak! Must try the Crispy Kale Salad and Agnello! Wonderful overall experience! will definitely comeback! :)
Great food and ambience in this restaurant! Never fails to give me a happy tummy! Try their Truffle Mushroom Pasta 👍 but pls bring mosquito repellant because there are lots of mosquitoes while we were eating
Food was good enough for an Italian restaurant in Manila. Most notable was the Cheese Pizza which had developed flavors. Service was also attentive since place was not packed. Ideal place for dates due to its dim lighting.
Order the mushroom truffle penne and any pizza . the pizzas are baked and not the greasy type.
View was nice as it’s overlooking intramuros walled city
The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor in the Bayleaf hotel. The prices are high compared to other places in the region, but you pay for good quality food, good service and very nice view. We had pizzas and Tiramisu and both of them were amazing.
a nice respite in the very busy manila area. a good place to get good decent italian food at affordable prices. bayleaf hotel has a selection of very good restaurants.
The place is too beautiful. Overlooking the Manila City Hall and the Walls of Intramuros. The staff were very accomodating and really assisted us well with our orders. They also gave us great suggestions on their best selling pizza and pasta.
The pizza was really well made. We ordered the all meat pizza (Salumeria) and I'll highly recommend it. Next is we ordered two Pasta dishes Porcini Carbonara and Frutti Di Mare. Really rich and creamy Carbornara and one of the best seafood pasta I have tasted.
Will definitely come back for more. 🖒🖒
Gamberetti never disappoints. Ambience is great. Truffle pasta is a winner too. The warm chocolate cake with créme anglaise isn't too sweet.
Had Beef Carpaccio for the first time tonight and wonderfully surprised.
Their chocolate lava cake will definitely put your patience to the test but it's definitely worth the wait! I'd brave the traffic just for this ❤️❤️❤️

What's Best: Beef Kare Kare, ambience, service.
Recomendations: Great ambience (ideally for romatic dates) at a mid range budget.
My Notes:
We were supposed to have my Birthday dinner last Saturday with my family at Skydeck, but it was fully booked and we didn't have a reservation, so the waitress suggested Raffaele instead.
You can actually order from Skydeck's menu even if you'll be dining here. We ordered Beef Kare Kare, Callos, Bagnet, Bistek Bulalo and Carbonara. Love the Beef Kare Kare (each viand is served with a cup of rice). Each serving is good for 2-3 persons.
Our favorite Italian restaurant to date.
This place is underrated.
Try their gamberetti with their focaccia bread, uva salad, their pasta- vongole and granchio con Ricci
and their beef tagliata! They are all good!
Even if waiting time is long, it's worth it.
Another thing-the place has mosquitoes otherwise, food and ambiance is good!
Can't say that the food aren't good but it's okay. Mushroom risotto is something to try. It tastes weird but delicious. Bacon carbonara is okay too. I just ate the bacon :) complimentary bread is good also. Serving size is average, not too big not too small. Serving time was terrible. It took more than half an hour for our dishes to be served. And... It's pricey.
Can't say anything. Just WOW. It must be 5.0 but some of the foods and drinks in their Menu list are too expensive. Lol. OVER-ALL taste of the food, its 5.0
Venturing into a whole new and modern concept here at Raffaele... 😊 particularly enjoyed their Gamberetti, Prosciutto con Zucca, Risotto di Funghi and the Frutti de Mare... The flavors are very tasty. 😊 I will definitely come back here to try their other specialties... ❤️

I availed the SR9 membership card so we got 50 off from our total bill. Food and service was excellent just like in a fine dinning. Best tasting quattro brick oven pizza!
It was my boyfriend's dad's birthday dinner when we ate here. They had just recently opened/started that time that's why there were only a few people. The food we ate were good and the ambience was classy. It is a good place to have an intimate dinner. 😊
when you eat here, make sure to get their pizza! definitely a must try. their ambiance and service is also very great :) cant wait to come back here
It was quaint and classy. A place you would go to for a quiet date. Their food is amazing! Especially wood fire oven baked pizzas. When you're in intramuros make sure to pass by.

"Accidentally" had dinner here while waiting for my husband. It was a pleasant accident which I would gladly repeat☺️. Tried their Bruschetta al Pomodorro and Frutti di Mare and they were spot on. The seafood were obviously fresh and the tomato-based sauce was not overwhelming at all. Kudos to the chef! The ambience was just right, not
intimidating at all. The staff were attentive
and friendly. Would definitely come back😀 if only to try the yummy looking Tiramisu!
Celebrated our anniversary here. Loved the cozy and romantic ambience. Food did not disappoint. I enjoyed their wood-fired pizza, Quattro and their pasta, frutti di mare. They served us a complimentary cake which I did not liked much as I was so full. Good job Raffaelle for bringing a slice of Italy here in Manila! 👍
I had high expectations of this place mainly because it's located in a hotel. I've heard that they serve good wood fire pizza, so decided to give it a try, and it thankfully did not disappoint. I had their famous Quattro pizza, and it was good! They got the crust done just right, and they didn't scrimp on the cheese toppings. I'll definitely come back to try their other pizza flavors. Good food, good service, but of course a bit on the expensive side! And oh, great view and ambiance too!
Great experience with fabulous view and service. Will surely come back for the experience and food! Keep up the great work. Two thumbs up!!!
Our experience at Raffaele is very memorable. Upon entering, you are treated like royalty. The manager will personally serve you if he isn't busy. The staff are very well trained and very professional. The food? Out of this world! The pizza is crispy and they really live up to their "wood fire pizza". I forgot the names of dishes we ordered but I have to tell you, no regrets with all of them! Very good tasting! The place has a perfect ambiance for dinner dates and you are very well taken care of. We just ordered bottled waters for our drinks and they even poured it in our glasses! I can't say a negative thing about this place. It also comes with a great view of the walled city. The staffs from all over the hotel are very hospitable. Even the house officers!

The father of wood-fire pizza in the metro. Their Quattro Pizza oozing with flavor is a must-try! And so is their Gamberetti. Place is cozy for a dinner date rendezvous. A jewel in the city!
