I ordered the grilled salmon with asparagus risotto for dinner. The fish was slightly overcooked since it was a bit dry. It was also somewhat bland for my taste.
The risotto was tastier than the fish and cooked well. However, I've had better risottos in other restaurants.
The staff on the other hand are attentive and courteous, so it was still an enjoyable meal for me.♥️

Manhattan Parkview's is on General Malvar Avenue, low-key and residential in feel, one block behind Four Seasons Hotpot. This is the area to visit to escape the often chaotic feel of the Cubao shopping district.
Giovanni's, owned and run by an Italian, is here, with pizza, pasta, and main dish specials written on the board. When they serve their own bread with a nice cheesy pesto, you know you're okay.
We tried the risotto special of the day yesterday, a shrimp and zucchini creation that used Italian rice. It had just the right amount of cheese added to finish the dish and was perfectly al dente.
We then had the Salsiccie e Patate, house-made sausages with boiled, then roasted potatoes with the scent of rosemary.
I came back and tried their meat Cannelloni, which had a stuffing exactly as I remembered when I was in Italy, growing up; and a nice steak Tagliata made from flank meat, with a great siding of mushrooms, dusted in cornmeal and them fried, easy and good.
The cooking is authentic and restrained, to conform to the neighborhood's ideal price points, but I am sure you can ask the chef to amp things up for a charge, because you're worth it, and the food is too. The risotto, for instance, deserved a splash of bright white wine, it was so nice.
The layout and the design of the resto is okay, it is the menu you should focus on.
Good place, I love the ambience. Food is great too! The order we had was good for two. Perfect for family gatherings, it is a cozy place where you can have good time and drink wine. Love the pasta!
I took my mom here for a new year dinner. They have a very accommodating staff. A place with just the right atmosphere. We appreciated both their pasta and pizza.
They have legit italian food (which is very delicious especially the pasta and pizza) and the service is really good. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Love this place ever since it opened. It will never ever disappoint me.
I always order their P250 (P199 back then) Food Meal Promos since you'll have some pasta with a side dish. I also ordered some of their pasta meals (P300 and up) when we had money, and they will give you a sourdough bread with a balsamic dipping sauce with it. Love it.
The only appetizer I ordered there is bruschetta since it was the most affordable, and well this is not a surprise, I love it. I don't have any pictures right now, but there has been a lot of memories in there.
The only downside I see is that they always have a few staff and well, because of that the service is slow, and much more slower if there's a lot of people.
Pizza is always the winner here. Its probably rare to find a place like this where the crust outshines the toppings. Thats how good it is. Pastas are good too, my faves would be the bolognese and the strozzapreti con salsiccia. Tiramisu recommended for dessert 👍
Pizza for the win. Pasta are good but kinda so-so.
Salads were a disappointment.
Just stick to the pizza! Legit lahat!
Hirap Ng second floor.
It's been quite a while the last time I ate alone. So I was wandering in Cubao, my actual plan is to watch movies but long queue made me back out. So I try some resto instead.
The place is so fascinating. Feel like Im out of the country. Maybe because the people who dine there is foreigners. I think yung nakasabay ko is Italian.
So I tried ordering Genova since that is cheaper than Carbonara. Genova consist of Lasagna Al Pesto, Chicken Breast Ala Minese and Potato croquettes with icetea for cheap price of 199php. I also tried wine, 180php for a glass.
Worth the price. Masarap yung meal.. tipid and ang comforting ng place kasi onti tao. Its a plus for me kasi ayoko ng masyadong crowded.
Staffs should learn to smile din pala.
But all in all experience is fascinating.
