Ordered food from here for delivery via website. Delivery was on time and the food was well packaged with labels of dish names. The orange salad (Insalata di arance) was fresh and zesty with a good citrus dressing.Garganelli All'Amatriciana - a pasta dish with spicy tomato and pamcetta - was quite good. As was the Tagliatelle Bolognese. Both the dishes, however, seemed to be missing some 'oomph'. Maybe because it was delivered and probably just missing some shredded parmesan. Risotto al Funghi Porcini was great. Classy dish executed well. Paired well with my bottle of Malbec

A hidden gem deep in the bowels of Poblacion as one can easily get lost in the maze of narrow one-way side streets here. This is Hotel Durban's (a 2-star boutique hotel) main restaurant. Surprisingly, side street parking was quite easy here considering that it was a weekday night.I will just speak in general -- their fried mozzarella, salads and canolli were quite good, the latter being the best I have tried so far in Manila. The pastas were just OK, nothing to rave about. But their crepe lasagna presented a twist on the usual lasagna. I actually liked it as the pasta part itself was a light crepe wrapping which was not heavy to the tummy. I found their soups to be a bit watered-down though.It is not the best Italian restaurant in Makati but prices are reasonable and they do have dishes that can elicit a few raves. It's worth a try.

Loving the sophisticated interior! Had breakfast here and the food didn't disappoint. They also give out a mini cookie along with a cup of tea. Pricey though but worth it. :)
