Strolling down Shangri La for gift items, I spotted this restaurant and thought I would give it a try while resting my tired feet. It was late afternoon snack time for me so I went for the lightest pasta I could find in their menu. Baked Ziti it was, and a glass of their nice house blend iced tea. I was the lone diner. I waited 15 minutes, more or less, for my food which is fine by me. The dish smelled wonderful and came in big serving portion almost good for sharing. But I was let down by its side bread that tasted old and proved a bit tough to chew. It didn’t stop there, though. The pasta, although perfectly al dente, was bathed in very salty sauce. Minus the nasty saltiness it would have been really delicious, I can imagine.

Whenever I crave for Italian pizza, I usually go to Balboa. The price is pretty steep but the taste and flavor are worth it! I was quite sad when the branch in Greenbelt closed down so now I have to go all the way to Shangri-La. I’m hoping they open another branch in Makati soon. The staff are accommodating, their pizzas are delicious, and the lasagna is nice and cheesy. 🧀

Food Coma in BalboaWe tried Balboa for the first time. And we were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with our meal. The salad had the right mix with a flavourful dressing. The clam chowder was thick and tasty with mussels. The salmon on mushroom risotto was perfectly cooked. And the balsamic pork was deliciously tender, like an adobo with an italian twist. And our watermelon cucumber was very refreshing. We’ll definitely try Balboa again. 😋 Food 5/5 Drinks 4.5/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Ambience 5/5 Price 3/5 Service 4.5/5

This is in Shangrila mall adjacent to Corazon restaurant. Ambience is good. Accommodating staff. Food well-served. Will visit again soon and try the others.

Ambience was cozy and the place was clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating as well. But the food was a disappointment:Deviled chicken - Bland and not spicy at all. Chicken had an unpleasant taste as well, as if it was left in the counter for quite some time before cookingVongole pasta - Pasta was cooked perfectly (al dente) but the taste was just bland and lacking the very much anticipated flavor of the oceanTruffle pasta - It was good but I've had better in other places. A bit too bland for my taste buds as wellDry-aged beef - It was good and the only saving grace for last night's dining experienceFor their price point and the taste of their food, I'm definitely not coming back

Dinner date with my boyfriend. Ambiance can be a bit intimidating but it has a nice romantic feel to it. Salami, Anchovies, Black Olives, Peppers & Onions (12" Php 428) BITS of anchovies only. My boyfriend was really looking forward to it and was disappointed that you couldn't barely taste the anchovies. Pasta noodle were cooked perfectly. Could use more toppings but still prefer this compared to their pizza.Smoked Salmon, Capers & Cream (Solo Php 308)Truffle Mushroom Linguine (Solo Php 328)

I can not  believe Balboa  was launched in Shangrila Plaza in 2013 or 5 years ago and I have not even tried it once.It took the event Shang GourmetFest last October 17 to make it happen ...
