Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"To keep it short: If you're looking to spend your Sundays with a relaxing atmosphere and chill live music sessions, then I highly recommend this place to do just that. Pair that with amazing food, and hospitable staff you're more than likely to enjoy this restaurant and leave with stomachs full and smiles all around! To top it all off, you get a free gallery view of Cid Reyes' art near the entrance free of charge. What's not to love about this place?"
"By chance there was a father and son tandem playing guitars and doing their own renditions of some songs that I enjoyed listening to back in the day..while we were eating Seafood Marinara. Did not go for Pizza which we should've as the place is well known for them, instead. Somewhat regretted as it wasn't what I was expecting or used to for Marinara. But the music and the ambience made up for it."
"Pizza’s good and the drinks were also good and fresh. Serving time is fast but the place was kinda infested by flies. Serving size is a bit small tho, for the price. Other than that it was still good. Might come back for their pasta next time."
"The Prosciutto (gourmet pizza) was the best, especially when hot! The dough is perfect, not too thick and not too thin. The crust is crunchy. Plus points for the generous amount of prosciutto. The Meatballs Spag was overcooked. The Pesto Spag was a bit under for me but just right for my friends. Both have some hints of sweetness. Our food was served around 30 minutes after ordering, as advised. The service is not bad but there is room for improvement to create a great dining experience. There is a small art gallery (not in the pictures) leading to the restroom. The artist made a beautiful on-the-spot portrait of one of the customers. I fell in love with the cabin! The homey feel and the cold breeze makes it a perfect place to just sit back and relax. It can be rented at P5000 per night for 2 pax. Just inquire and reserve with the staff. We would definitely come back for the pizza and the cabin!"
"Place is nice, when we got there it looked like it had trouble being maintained. If you're willing to put up with a pretty long drive for it, the pizzas are great. Place seems to not have gotten much customers as of late so if you're willing to spend for it, sadly forgot to take pictures. Overall, if you're willing the place is very good for a meal."
"All of their pastas are delicious specially the marinara and pesto. Pizzas are cheap and also made from fresh ingredients. Place is far but worth the trip, very relaxing and very artsy. You can have portrait sketching while you wait for your food. Perfect for family eat outs."
"Lovely owner, welcoming family, nice location and view. We came here discovering this place by chance and tried their pizzas, honestly lived them. Fresh dough and ingredients, I tried different pizzas in the Philippines and this is definitely one of the best, and I say that as an italian."
"Of course this isn't fine-dining but i find the prices a little pricey than what it's meant to be. The pugon pizza though good but nothing really special. The toppings are fair but the bread texture isn't all that good. But i gotta say that the meatballs spag is a treat!!! I can say that they used real fresh tomatoes. Just be aware that this is pugon-baked so it takes about an hour to be served. What's worse was that they forgot we ordered pasta so they only started preparing after we followed up. Though the service crew was courteous, i can say they didn't go through proper training. The location isn't at the edge of the mountain so no breath-taking views, however we still enjoyed the nature view as it we were surrounded by trees but do note that it may get really warm at mid noon. Also, it's a bit off the grid but not too far off. They don't have a big parking space and considering it takes an hour for the pizza to be served, resto capacity and customer location will take a while, they gotta have some system. Oh yeah, we were lucky enough to catch really good performers, they sing really good acoustics, father and son i think they were. If you aren't very nitpicky, you should have some good time to kill as it has some good ambiance."
