    Cafe Lidia is to Marikina what Mama Lou's was to BF Paranaque---a neighborhood resto with affordable meals, decent taste, and homey feel. It's one of those #iykyk kind of places.

    This is a go to place for us. Consistently good food and service. We usually get pasta and rice meals, plus pizza every now and then. Most times we get our favorites but I should try their other dishes next time. Yes, I know we will go back 🙂

    We visited for snacks at late afternoon and we immediately got our parking space at the designated parking area across the restaurant. No waiting time, got seated and order served early. May improve a little on how waiters served food and even when handing the menu. GCash and cards are accepted as mode of payment. Price is reasonable. No service fee was charged.

    Loved the House Salad, House Pizza, Buffalo Wings and Roast Pork. A bit matabang lang yung Truffle pasta. The service was fast since we went on an off peak time.

    This is our favorite place ever. We celebrate special occasions here! Mainly because of their food, second is the homey feel of the restaurant. I can only speak superlatives about their food. Our favorites include their Buffalo Chicken Wings, Nachos, and Salisbury Steak. Also try their cakes and coffee too!

    Great food at an affordable price. Good and fast service too. There was a waiting list on our last visit but we got seated pretty quick anyway. Will definitely be coming back here to try everything on the menu.

    The ambiance is really nice inside Cafe Lidia. A warm and cozy place to eat out with family and loved ones. Food taste is remarkably above average and the service is great. There's a parking lot on the side of the street but it will be a challenge especially during weekends lunchtime. The price is very reasonable and they accept credit cards and GCash aside from cash payments.

    Cafe Lidia is the epitome of family restaurant serving a wide array of simple and affordable comfort food perfect for the entire brood. Ambience somehow screams nostalgia even to first timers with no personal memories of the place. Service is also friendly and lightning quick. Ample parking available at the empty lot across. Establishment only accepts cash.

    Affordable food, homey feel and good service! Their beef salpicao was flavorful but a bit tough. The shrimp and garlic pizza was also good.

  • 5/5 Kenneth C. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall, the place is decent. A good place for first dates. Place is a bit hidden and a few minutes away from Ayala Mall Feliz. Interior was a bit old school Italian x traditional cafe vibes. Very chill interior and consistent cozy and a bit rustic environment. Food was good for their price point. Quantity was a bit meh, so I suggest ordering a pizza. For quality, you may feel a bit generic / locally sourced ingredients. We ordered buffalo wings, beef *something* pasta, and Pizza Lidia. We finished all normally. Price range was around 250 - 400php which is kinda rare these days, but it just matches the quality served. I can say is it is not the best, but a good place to chill, date, or just have a quick meal. Place - 4.8 / 5 (for not being accessible/easy to find) Food - 4.5 / 5 (just right / value) Service / ambience - 5 / 5 Worth trying!! Ps. Food might feel a bit cheap.

    This is one of our most favorite restaurants in Marikina. We usually dine in here during special occasions. Menu selection is nice and has many choices for everyone. Our favorites include the Chicken Parmesan, Boneless fried chicken, Buffalo chicken, Beef Salpicao, Aglio olio, Pesto and their Pizza. The quality of the food is consistent throughout the years, but some of the menu had changed like their coffee selection (Really missed their Butterscotch iced coffee - one of the best coffee I tried). Price point is fair considering the quality and service size. Their cakes are also good especially the Sans Rival. Parking is available at a lot in front of the restaurant but may be limited if there is an event at their function hall. Super must try if visiting Marikina.

    The place is fancy...vintage atmosphere. I would like to visit again if possible and i love the food!

    First, I'm glad that they have ample parking. Coffee was ok though they didn't have skim milk. Trainee served my coffee holding it the wrong way, with her fingers holding the cup's mouth. I had it replaced. Cakes were so-so. Place has IG-able nooks, spruced up for Mother's Day.

    Most of the food that we ordered were good as always. Even though they already have plenty of parking space, napupuno yan duting peak hours and on weekends. So I suggest to go here during off-peak hours and days for you to avoid the long wait if getting in. But the food will be served immediately. like in less than 10 minutes And maybe thats why the baby back ribs that we ordered was dry as you can see on the photos here. It's already ore-cooked plus maybe matagal na siya.. Its not at par with what I imagined it to be. Pizza was good but super thin. But overall, 4 stars parin :)

    I really enjoyed my visit here. Overall it's a 1000/10 for me. We went here for my sister's birthday celebration. The staffs are very good because even though we went here on a Sunday lunch they still manage to give us good service. Serving of food is fast also. The ambiance of the place is very nice and homey. The food is exquisite! We really love it. I ordered a coffee and beef Salpicao- worth every penny! I will definitely recommend this and definitely come back here.

    Service was good, fast and efficient even though ours was a big group. Delicious food. Price was ok. Worth checking out when in the area.

    This is one of my fave restaurant in Marikina. The quality of the food and the taste never change. I love the buffalo, and must have would be the pasta and cakes. I recommend you visit the actual place and try their food so you can enjoy the ambience.

  • 4/5 Edgar P. 2 years ago on Google
    For many years I come back. Though the interior is the same but i felt the ambiance it's not. The food is still good. You will never having trouble finding parking cause street parking is available too.

  • 4/5 Maria Lourdes Bueno (. 2 years ago on Google
    Cafe Lydia . So far Ive tried the spinach Pizza and the Houseblend Pizza. Spinach pizza with cream cheese is so good. The resto is like an old house, Filipino spanish style. So surprisingly, their specialty includes Pasta, pastries, pizza. And of course coffee. Obviously people come here for the food, they already acquired a parking lot opposite the resto. They are popular in this area. A lot of grab riders also seen waiting outside indicates that they are quite known in this locality. Will defintely go back to try for more👍

    Place is cozy and has great ambiance. Quality Italian dishes made affordable.

  • 5/5 Keith P. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it! Went here the first time more than 5 years ago and it feels like nothing has changed. The service is great and the food is absolutely delicious. The prices are fair and around the 200-300+ range which is good value for the quality of the food that you're getting. We got the lasagna and beef salpicao (no picture) and both were amazing. Also got a slice of their smores cake and it was really good too! The slice itself was huge and can easily be shared by 2 people. Overall a must-try in Marikina if you have the time and want simple no-frills comfort food.

    Cafe Lidia is a very popular restaurant in the side streets of Marikina. It started as a small restaurant serving Italian food. Slowly but surely it grew in popularity and size. They serve pasta, pizzas, rice meals, cakes for desserts and coffee. The food tastes great at an affordable price. The staff are very helpful and kind. Parking could be a problem in Marikina but they do have an extra parking space and attendant.

  • 4/5 Jerome b. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was amazing and the price range of the food was reasonable, the accommodation by the staff is ok , and the interior was very old but still beautiful and so refreshing because of its wood textures element that is covering the whole place.

  • 5/5 yka f. 4 years ago on Google

    Good place to eat 🤩

  • 4/5 Maridee A. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice cozy place. At 3pm on a Thursday, the cafe was fully booked. Dessert and coffee was good. But there's no one who monitors the entrance for health protocols, only the guard who's also in charge of parking.
