    A solid spot to sit and have a cup of coffee. They have freshly brewed coffee, a variety of pizzas, pastas, fruit plates, desserts, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Its really nice to sit there and relax as the sound of the waves is amazing plus the view is majestic. Good and reasonable price. Nice and really polite staff. The only point off is that some of the items are not as what they should be. Oh, one more thing, their pizza dough is amazing!

    Our reservation for our anniversary turned out very well. They were so accommodating! They gave us everything we requested, including the seaside table with a sunset view. The pizza and the pasta were great. We got the vegetarian with cheese and the bolognese. We were satisfied and had a memorable evening. If you want to get ahead of the evening crowd, be there at around 5-6pm. Definitely going back.

    I love it there! Nice atmosphere, great service and the food is (at least as me as a German can judge 😅) very authentic! I had salads and you could really taste the superior quality of the ingredients!

    Fantastic dinner spot to watch the sunset. The flavors are very authentic, so much so that we went twice in three days. My husband says the amatriciana is one of the best he’s ever had, and I can swear by the carbonara. Can’t believe we found Italian food this delicious in El Nido. Be wary of the tide coming in: the tables along the outside can get splashed with water!

    Went here four nights in a row, that’s how good it was. The pizza is amazing, super good crust and the tomato sauce is to die for. I also had the tartufata pizza (pictured) and couldn’t stop doing a happy food dance. The house wine they have is also pretty good (white and red both nice wines in my opinion) considering you’re in Asia! The staff is very friendly and food comes out quick!!

    Amazing moment, the view is stunning especially for sunset. Pizza are as good as expected. The place is brand renovated and you have a sand floor. Prices a little bit higher than other restaurant but totally reasonable ! (Also we took several cocktails) The team Is very nice. Definitely a place to go when you come to El Nido, you’ll never regret it!!

    The food was truly incredible, some of the best Italian food we’ve ever had! Such good value for money, with a stunning view of the beach. On top of that, the people that worked there were incredibly friendly. We will definitely be coming back while we’re in El Nido!

    After reading reviews we stopped here for a pizza - delicious! Both 9 inch and 12 inch options, I went for the smaller one which was definitely big enough for dinner. They also have salads and pasta dishes too. The views from this place are brilliant too overlooking the beach!

    Food was really good and at fair prices. As an Italian I can just be glad to have found such good ingredients for pastas and pizzas in a place sonfar from Italy. This is a must go place if you like Italian food.

    We were walking by the beach and stumbled on this beauty. It opens at 11:00 for drinks and 11:30 onwards for food. Staff were very nice to accommodate us early. Restaurant was in front of the beach which has a good breeze and sunset views during the evening. The food was amazing. Mango shake would do with a little sweetness. Cocktails were good and presentable. Definitely one of the best Pizzas in town. I would come back to just taste the whole menu if I had enough time and tummy space!!

    One of the nicer restaurants in the area. After a nice walk along the beach we found this place. We had a Margarita pizza and a bruschetta. Everything was really tasty and well flavoured, which is well received whilst travelling through the Philippines. The restaurant has a great vibe with attentive staff. Would have been 5 stars if not for the slightly small size of the bruschetta.

    The pizza and the pasta was perfect! The service wow! Kristal was so nice and kind! I am vegan so i took a pasta with mushroom instead of beef and no milk and cheese and the pasta was great! My husband took pizza Napolitano and he said its the best pizza he ever tried. We really enjoyed our dinner!

    A 30-minute walk from El Nido town proper. Diavola pizza and Gnocchi al Gorgonzola tasted good. The view is superb.

    A perfect spot for sunset and pizza. The pizzas were yummy! The service was quick and the waitress was very nice. Chill and warm vibes. Probably my favorite spot in El Nido to eat.

    Everything was top, pizza was awesome, pasta was very nice as well but perhaps a little too small size. Even though it was dark outside I know the View on the ocean is awesome.

    My family and I ordered some food for delivery. We got two pizzas (one for just me lol) and a plate of spaghetti. The pizza crust was thin so I was able to eat the entire pizza by myself, and I don’t regret it like I normally would. It was delicious and well worth the calories! Lol. I got the meat lovers minus beef and ham plus olives and mushrooms, the other pizza we got was just a standard meat lovers. The spaghetti was great and the pizza was even better. Delivery took about an hour but was hot upon delivery and it was real good. Definitely recommend this place for delivery if you had a long day with a tour and just want to chill at your hotel.

    We had a great experience here. The staff are very kind and helpful, the food was 100% good and tastes authentic. We also enjoyed the happy hour promo on cocktails. Their place is beachfront so you can enjoy the sunset while having a drink. 10/10 would recommend.

    Best truffle pasta I have ever had, CRAZY. Cute hidden spot front line to the beach, very romantic. Excellent customer service which was very fast, we had Josh as our waiter who was an absolute sweetheart. I highly recommend this place and would love to go again.

    This was an amazing place for dinner & views. The pizzas were very tasty & there was a lot of choice. They also give two options of sizes which is great incase you don’t want a big pizza. There is other choices on the menu such as small plates & pastas. The view onto the beach is stunning especially for sunset. The staff were very friendly & attentive.

    At home I really enjoy making traditional carbonara pasta and Neapolitan margarita pizzas, so I rarely order them out as they often fall short of my expectations. I’m glad I went with my craving and ordered two of my favourites yesterday, as they were done exceptionally well! Very authentic and delicious. The bottom of the pizza and the crust was lightly crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside. The ingredients were all high quality. Also, the attention to detail was there, like the amount of sauce, the mozzarella size so it held some shape after cooking. Basil added before and after cooking was a nice touch. The carbonara flavour was so good, nothing overpowering! Nice to have an authentic one in El Nido as I just can’t do cream. The only constructive feedback would be more pasta water and emulsifying of the sauce as it lost it’s gloss by the time it got to the table and was a bit tacky. Other than that, a bit more puff in the crust for aesthetics and shape of the pizza, but now I’m being real picky. Well done team! We’ll be back again before leaving.

    Great Italian food and a beautiful view in a lovely open air restaurant. With no reservation, we someone seemed to get the best seat in the house… a table facing the water with fairy lights hanging from the trees and the sound of the waves hitting the shore literally 3 steps away, tucked in the front corner of the restaurant. The food - the pizza crust is top quality, and that’s coming from someone who’s eaten pizza in Italy. The pasta was good as well. I’d come back here again!

    Location 4/5 Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Overall 4/5 Located just along the beach. There is a good view of the sea, also a nice place to relax and chill. Food is relatively okay. Had the authentic carbonara which was quite salty. It was also a lot creamier than expected. The meat lovers pizza was topped with pork meat, no Parma ham in it at all which was quite disappointing. Staff are generally friendly and helpful

    The service here is the best in El Nido, fast and friendly. The pizza was fantastic (for vegan just order the vegetarian without cheese, it’s still delicious)! The bruschetta was also very tasty.

    Our dinner was amazing, nice salad and pizza. The staff was very attentive. And of course the view is beautiful…We had to wait for our table (to avoid make a reservation) but it was definitely worth it.

  • 5/5 Ole H. 2 years ago on Google
    Just wow, i had one, if not eaten the best pizza in Asia so far. Such an amazing Food and friendly Service in here.

  • 5/5 Gerard H. 2 years ago on Google
    Literally the best Pizza in the Philippines and in my case the best I’ve ever had anywhere worldwide. That’s coming from a Pizza connoisseur. Incredibly light, airy, stretchy, chewy, crispy crust, fantastic choices of toppings.

  • 5/5 Saul Jacob L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice view. We ate dinner here twice, Good food especially if you love italian cuisine. 👍🏼

  • 5/5 F_BNDT 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place directly at the beach, exceptional friendly staff and amazing authentic Italian food. Came here three times during our five days in el Nido.

  • 5/5 Shiva P. 4 months ago on Google
    Lovely staff, fast service, good food and a beautiful view. Great atmosphere in the restaurant, best to visit during sunset for the ultimate view and you can pay by card. A pizza can easily be shared if you’re looking for a smaller meal too. Often in the heat you don’t always want a big meal and this is a great option. You can add / remove things easily if needed and the staff are happy to amend. Veggie and vegan options are available.

    Location and view 10/5 extra ordinary sea view Setup and fit out 5/5 beautiful Taste 4/5 their dough is so good Quality of ingredients 4/5 Staff is very friendly I used to come here to have my coffee almost everyday to enjoy the sea view and relax. I tried a couple of things only but not main course. This is what I tried and rated: Espresso: 3/5 it was watery and they dont use a professional espresso machine Focaccia: they got me a pizza dough instead 😅 and it wasn't focaccia. But it tasted good for a pizza dough Margherita pizza: every things is good except the cheese. Low quality Garlic Parmigiano bread: tasted soo good. But low quality Parmigiano.

    Food is really good! We all had different kinds of pizza. Awsome location to watch the sunset right at the beach. Nice interior and staff.

  • 4/5 Saana M. 4 months ago on Google
    The restaurant had a good location by the beach, great for a sunset dinner. However, some travel by tricycle required if you are staying near El nido pier. The service was very friendly and fast. The food was tasty and good. Nice bonus that we could pay by card :)

  • 5/5 Tresia C. 1 year ago on Google
    SUPER GOOD FOOD! Awesome customer service. Good spot for couples or big groups. We loved here so much we returned the day after our first try.

  • 5/5 Gerard M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place in front of the beach, ideal for a delicious dinner in a viby atmosphere! Food was delicious, specially the trufata pizza! It is worth it to order the large size for just 100p extra. The carbonara (even though the amount of pasta was just correct, not abundant) was great too. Beware that they just have 2 deserts: Nutella pizza and a coulant. 100% recommended place!

  • 4/5 Lars B. 1 year ago on Google
    Located directly at the beach, you can enjoy an awesome sunset here. The pizzas were really good, we ordered one margarita and one vegetarian and both were delicious. Staff were really cool and matched the vibe of the restaurant. Food came in an appropriate time only thing which could have been better would be a bitter size of the pizza for that price but otherwise fine.
