Top-Rated Italian Restaurants in Manila

There are particular celebrations when a combination of pizza and pasta adds joy to the festive occasion. Other times, we just crave that heavenly combination of creamy cheese and tangy tomatoes. Also, pairing Italian fare with the right kind of wine enhances the experience. 


Read on as we share with you the best Italian restaurants in Manila.  

Parmigiano Pizzeria Ristorante  
 

Parmigiano Pizzeria Ristorante


Parmigiano Pizzeria Ristorante is an authentic Italian restaurant serving delicious recipes that have delighted Filipinos for years. The restaurant has undergone a rebranding ever since it closed its Molito branch, but its high-quality food remains impressive.    

They serve complimentary focaccia bread with olive oil, garlic vinaigrette, and tomato salsa. Their appetizers include classic ingredients like mozzarella, prosciutto, and traditional herb mixes. For salads, try the Insalata con Burrata, made of red apple, walnuts, and cherry tomatoes, and topped with whole burrata cheese.   
 

Parmigiano’s entrees are divided into pork, lamb, seafood, and chicken dishes. You can also try their homemade pasta and pizza. Don’t miss their Fusilli alla Gricia, rigatoni pasta with guanciale, an Italian cured meat with some pasta noodles cooked on a pecorino cheese wheel.   
 

Their drinks include iced and hot coffee, freshly squeezed juices, and Italian liquor. Don’t forget to try their famous tiramisu, a soft cake with coffee and cream cheese  sweet and creamy but not overpowering.
