Ponte Rialto - Taguig

Very nice authentic food and warm and friendly service. The pizza was also very nice. Surprised there were not many customers on a busy Saturday at the Mall

What we ordered (I'll put an English translation): Carpaccio di Manzo (slices of raw beef with parmigiano etc) Insalata di polpo (octopus salad) Misto di bruschette (grilled bread with various toppings) Ravioli ripieni (ravioli stuffed with spinach, sage etc.) Tiramisu Drinks (Limoncello etc.) Let me start out by saying that this place serves some really good authentic Italian food. The carpaccio isn't the best I've had (but this is coming from an Italian) but the slices and texture were great. The meat could be tastier but it is quite hard to find good beef here. Octopus salad is an Italian specialty and I've never had a good one outside of Italy until now. Bruschette had just enough flavor to it when it comes to the toppings. No complaints on the ravioli. Pasta was al dente except for the spaghetti. We gave feedback and of course it is a learning process for the Filipino cooks. I al very particular about having my pasta al dente else its quite hard for me to enjoy it. The tiramisu had just the right amount of sweetness and wasn't overdone. This restaurant is Italian owned so expect authenticity. We were also told the carbonara is done the Italian (correct) way without cream so that is something to look forward to. Will i come back? DEFINITELY.

One of the best Italian restaurants I have been to in Metro Manila. From appetizers to dessert, every dish is beautifully-crafted (or Instagramably-crafted) and the ingredients are fresh and well-selected. But aside from the good food, their customer service is impeccable. There were delays here and there but the owners made every guest feel at home in their restaurant. True to the old tradition of Italian restaurants to be warm and homey. I will definitely recommend (already did!) and come back here. It is definitely worth its price!

Ponte Rialto, named after the famous bridge found in Venice- this restaurant in Venice Grand Canal Mall in McKinley Hill is a discovery. A great one at that. I remember this place being a favorite last Valentine's Day '17 and the place was full but tonight was a totally different story. It wasn't empty but it wasn't half full either. Let me tell you now that this place needs to be visited, it's that good! The exciting appetizers, fresh salads, flavorful pasta, cheesy pizza, perfectly seasoned meat dishes, capped with an IG worthy dessert; I really think this place is underrated. A possible downer can be the price points but it can be justified with you getting your money's worth.
