Ordered the ferrero rocher, dark truffle and snickers flavors. Creamy, but somewhat pricey. Place was cozy and spacious. Staff was accomodating and they even gave a free taste for the flavors that you were interested to try.
Tried their gelato 😱❤️❤️❤️ loooooove. ❤️ so sulit ❤️ i was with 2 of my friends and we shared one small cup with 3 flavors, i think, or 2. Sulit parin tho.
Story Time:
I've seen this café several times before, and never really paid much attention to it coz pasta, pizza and ice cream are not really the top foods that I actually eat. (In which, italian cuisine is mostly made of) But one day, I just craved for anything that is flavored matcha. At first, I had second thoughts going here, because im worried i might not like their gelatos. (Mainly bec i had a bad experience with one gelato brand) Okay, so while trying to order, (ofc, matcha is my top pick, and i liked it btw) i was surprised that they have a promo of buy 1 take 1 for gelatos! You can have two for the price of 1!!! 😍 i tried all the flavors that captured my attention and i must say, ALL FLAVORS ARE REALLY GOOD!! BY FAR, THE BEST GELATOS I'VE EVER TASTED. (Ive tried many gelato shops and restaus with gelatos, but this really is the best) I was with my mom, and my mom rarely eats ice cream, and this was the only icecream store that she ordered for a second helping of gelato. (Most gelato shops that we went to she never really finishes what she orders) I too had a second order which is Bailey's Irish Cream. The staff are nice and also the owner, whom my mom had a quick chat with. 😂 would i go again? Definitely. 😊
Was so good. The place l, staff, price are so good. I just didn't enjoy much the cake, it was so sweet. Aside from that, I love the place and food.
Bad News: The food order takes a really loooooooong time. Me and my best friend was famished from watching a movie and the food was served I think 30 minutes after we ordered. Yes, even the drinks.
Good News: It was worth the wait. Back ribs was divine. The chicken was juicy enough. The drinks were sweet. Try the strawberry lemonade, it was definitely my fave. They also have gelato so try that.
Ordered nacho italiano for appetizer, for 380 php I think it's a bit pricey, although the serving is big the taste did not satisfy my nacho craving that day. It's just your usual nachos, nothing special. We were supposed to just order pizza and pasta but browsing through the menu, I got curious with their baked chicken and mushroom rice. We ordered this dish thinking that it's sulit since it has rice and viand in one dish but I was sooo wrong! It does not really taste good at all. The whole dish tastes like bell pepper, that's it! Their pizza and pasta tastes okay, just okay. The ambiance of the place though is really relaxing, I was a bit surprised that it is very spacious inside cause it does not look like it when you just pass by and check the place from the outside. The severs were very friendly and attentive.
Their flavor selections of gelato was pretty impressive. They have promo, buy 1 get 1. Ordered their medio (2scoops -195pesos) -matcha and salted egg flavor.
Matcha was really good, it wasnt overly sweet, a little bitter, just the way a food matcha tastes like. Salted egg flavor was creamy with saltedd egg bits. The balance of sweet and salty was a delight to my taste buds.
Their regular food is just so so. Managed to try their mac and cheese and their baked rice, and both were just so so. The real draw here is of course the gelato, and I would consider their gelato to be the best in Manila at the moment. What really shines for them is their flavor replication. When they say this gelato is this flavor, it truly tastes like what it is supposed to be.
In my opinion, the serving was too little for the price. The waiters were not accommodating. They have very bad service. The taste of the food was good though
Casa Italia is a gelato brand franchised from Singapore. It opened its first branch in BGC 2 years ago, now, they have their second branch, here in SM The Block.
It's a small Italian-inspired cafe that specializes in Gelato and serves some Italian dishes like pizzas and pastas.
After our meal from another restaurant, we had our coffee and desserts here. We got their Four Cheese Pizza and some Liquorato.
The four cheese pizza is just a bomb. It's not your usual pizza with blue cheese. The four cheeses are cheddar, mozzarella, white goats cheese, and gruyere. The cheese blend is perfectly balanced. Sharp, nutty, creamy, cheesy. The bread was nice and thin with a crisp sides, but it lacks the flavor for the bread.
I tried the liquorato. It's an alcoholic version of affogato. A scoop of raspberry gelato with a shot of limoncello. I love the additional citrus lemony flavor enhanced the sweet tart raspberry. It's a new way to have your favorite gelato flavor.
Casa Italia gives you a nice homey feel that lets you relaxed in your chair. A perfect place to hangout with friends and family.
