👍👍 Restaurant inside Pintô Art Museum serving great pizza and pasta dishes. The serving sizes were a bit small. The pizza had crispy thin crust. Aglio olio pasta should not be missed. The ambience gave off Sunday morning picnic vibe. The service was fast and servers were attentive. People often mention good, Museum, museum, pasta, great, pizza, Pinto, service, Cafe, serving,

    Cafe is inside the Pinto Art Museum and there are multiple location where they serve customers. Foods and menu definitely good. I noticed some Italian, Japanese and Filipino dishes. Setup of the place is also good. Although the management may need more improvement in terms of their organization, active service and attention. It looks like they are keeping up with the customers. You may need to follow up on orders/request when there are many customers. Still Cafe is good, maybe on a fine dining level so prepare your budget, more or less 500-1k PHP (10-20 USD) per person. Might be better to come here on days that are not busy, maybe weekdays and not on lunch time.

    Great tasting thin crust pizza ! Definitely a worthy spot to end your museum visit. The fruits shakes are fresh and refreshing.

    Had a delightful experience! Kahit malapit na kami sa closing time, they warmly accommodated us. The coffee latte and tribeca (carbonara) were delicious, and the staff was friendly. The spacious and inviting ambiance added to the great vibes.

    Cafe Rizal is just a few steps after the entrance of the Pinto Art museum. I loved the food here. We ate at around 1130am and contrary to other reviews, service was fast. Cafe Rizal offers both indoor and outdoor dining. I loved the carbonara the most and the Batanes Roulade. I found the mozarella sticks, mushroom soup and tamarind shake just okay. The prices are above average. Service is really good.

    Mediterreanan inspired Cafe inside the Pinto Art Museum. If you are travelling in group, Full Slab is a Must which includes a mouth watering and juicy 7 BBQ Beef Ribs; a crisp, crunchy and fresh Peppermill Signature Salad; and superlicious thin-crust Margherita Pizza. Staff are nice. 📸 Elaine Evangelista

    Went to eat here after a tour of Pinto's Arboretum and Museum. We ordered their pizza, pasta, wings and cafe americano. The pasta was delicious. It was cooked perfectly and serves 2. Wings was spicy and flavorful and the serving was plentiful. The pizza was not that great (though it was indicated in their menu as a "bestseller "). The toppings were lacking in flavor and cheese. The pie was undercooked and still soft in the middle. Ambience though is great and their waiters were really attentive. The restaurant was also following the minimum COVID-19 protocol.

    Come to visit the Pinto Museum and afterwards stop in for a snack or meal at the Cafe Rizal. We did a quick lunch of the Mediterranean Pasta. It was a huge portion which we could have split but very good. Prices are a bit above average for western style food. Atmosphere was lovely and enjoyed our lunch within the museum.

    Cafe Rizal is located within Pinto Art Museum. The cafe has a Mediterranean inspired view. They also serve different types of food what we tried is there carbonara and green and ripe mangoes for smoothes, they also serve Italian pizza and pasta. The server and waiters were courteous and approachable and kind although their service took some time which is understandable due to limited crew of the cafe and volume of customer. All in all a good place to relax from the busy life of the metro, specially those coming from Manila.

    Most items were unavailable during our visit, but we did enjoy the soup and pasta we ended up getting. We came a second time for hot chocolate and coffee which again weren’t so bad. Got a lot of bug bites when we were there in the evening. It’s a nice spot for when you’re visiting the museum, but I wouldn’t come here if it’s just for the food.

    I’ve been here a couple of times already and I must say it’s a hit and miss in their menu. Some items are so-so, some are really good. Nonetheless, the ambience is relaxing being surrounded with natural flora, and the service is always excellent.

    An in-house restaurant located at Pinto Art Museum - I really love the mediterranean interior with a Filipino touch. We were not able to explore much of their menu because we just had lunch somewhere before visiting the place. I love their tamarind shake - the sweetness and sourness is well- balanced. I didn't quite like the chili tacos and truffle fries ( which does not taste like truffle at all), but then again, it's maybe because we were still full. Menu is generally pricey but seevice were still great.

    Good service. They were very attentive and made sure every customer was served or updated about their order. The food tasted good especially their seafood pasta. Must try. Its for sharing but because its delicious it wasnt enough for us 3 we had to order another serve. A little bit on the pricey side but you can splurge since its just a rare visit. You have to pay entrance fee to get in the museum where the cafe is located. It was jumpacked with customers when we visited on a Saturday.

    Cute and cosy place nestled in the Pinto Art Museum. Nice place to sit amongst the trees and relax with a cool drink or head inside for a cool bar vibe. Food was great also!!

  • 4/5 Andrea A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to dine and end a visit in Pintô Art Museum. Have been to Pintô before but it was just during my last visit when I was able to experience what this place has to offer. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant complements what the museum has to offer with an interior boasting a design reminiscent of European restaurants. The lush greenery surrounding the area and the Jose Rizal-inspired wall hangings further amplify the experience. Social distancing measures are also being observed with tables separated with at least a meter of gap while staff also wear face masks. I haven't really been expecting much about the foods served in the place, hence, I was surprised to find their Carbonara delectable with the right amount of consistency and flavor that is neither too bland nor too salty. The serving was also handful which can be best shared by 2-3 persons which makes it good for its price. However, their Chicken Teriyaki meal is a different story with a long serving time and the food itself lacking the flavorfulness of what a teriyaki is supposed to offer. Same with the Carbonara, the meal is best shared by 2 persons. Generally, I think the place is a good spot to dine and hang out after several hours of walking around the museum. Not a bad choice too if you already feel tired to check out the other well-known restaurants in Antipolo after your visit to Pintô. Good for mid-range budget dining.

  • 3/5 Mae A. 3 years ago on Google
    The museum features the amazing talent of the artists of Antipolo. The food, however, needs more variety and some dishes fall short of expectations. Prices are not commensurate to the quality of the food. But the ambiance is indeed instagramable and the staff are very professional. I just wish that they would do away with the plastic wrap on every dish. Imagine the plastic waste it generates everyday. There must be a more viable way of ensuring the safety of the customers from the transmission of the virus.

    Food: 4/5 great Price: 2/5 pricey Place: 5/5 excellent Location: 3/5 fair Service: 5/5 execellent staff CR/Toilet: 3/5 fair Others: Within private village that you have to pay 10-20 pesos per entry. No suitable parking space. I hope they can consider allowing customer to experience the resto without the need to pay for the museum entrance (250 pesos/person).

  • 2/5 Grizel 3 years ago on Google
    Stopped by to explore and eat on a weekend afternoon. The resto is jam-packed, but staffs are attentive. It took us around 40 mins for the food to be served. Ventilation is not good inside as it is already very hot outside. The food - Servings are small and taste is just ok. They are not worth the price. Will I recommend? The museum is worth seeing but the resto is just ok for some refreshments.

  • 3/5 Nadine F. 11 months ago on Google
    Great ambiance although pretty similar to Cafe Dionysus which is also inside Pinto Art Museum. Has a cozy and relaxing vibe. Service is a hit-or-miss, some of the waiters are attentive but some completely forget about your order. We tried following up an order and we got charged double for the watermelon shakes even though a previous waiter has taken our order before. Food is okay but a little overpriced considering what it is. Pizza is good and the pasta meals are flavorful. The fruit shakes were really made from fresh fruit. Overall an okay experience and pretty convenient since it’s inside the museum grounds. The seafood pasta has a lot of shellfish, out of everything we ordered this was worth its price.

    This restaurant inside Pinto Museum has a wonderful nature view. The salad and pizza was good. The steak is not so fantastic.

  • 3/5 R C. 2 years ago on Google
    Their pizza and pasta offerings are great, however there was a notable drop in food quality and serving time, compared to previous visits. Still a decent place to eat, but not worth going out of the way just to eat here.

  • 3/5 Louie (The Review G. 2 years ago on Google
    The place was packed. We ordered a few drinks but we were surprised that it took them more than 30 minutes to serve us the drinks. The waiters seemed not to know where to serve the orders as they kept asking the supervisors where this or that goes. When we asked about certain details about the drinks, they also didn't know the answer. We didn't order food anymore because it might take another 30 minutes to serve. What's nice about the place is the view and ambiance.

    Nice ambiance but the place has really slow service

  • 4/5 Edberg G. 4 years ago on Google
    We stopped by here one afternoon to take a break from all the walking inside the museum so we only ordered light menu items including pizza, coffee and tamarind shake. They were all good except the coffee, which was served with only a small serving of creamer. Place is named after Jose Rizal, Philippines' National Hero but unfortunately, one part of the restaurant lacked anything related to Rizal. Not a dealbreaker though. I just wished that ventilation was better.

    I like the ambience. The food is good, especially the salad. The cream dory dish is slightly spicy, which I like.

  • 4/5 Shiela Joy N. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was good but not worthy of the expensive price. Ambiance is classy and relaxing. You would appreciate it more if you are a nature lover. Pizza takes 40 mins to bake. You can stay as long as you want.

    Their best seller Pizza with meat, mushrooms and truffle oil is good! Puttanesca and mushroom soup were also good.
