We went here for dinner one night and both ordered pizza. The service is very quick! The pizza base is delicious. The crust is cooked justttt right and texture is delicious :) the toppings/sauce were a little bland/flavorless. Perfect size. Some of us finished the whole pizza in one go and some of us took leftovers home for the next day. Overall, good pizza but maybe some seasoning or something could help. Super friendly staff. Would go again.

We ate here after Reading the mostly excellent reviews on Tripadvisor, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. Where to start? The path leading to the restaurant was pitch black, and quite hazardous in parts. The menu is old and tatty and needs a revamp as this does not create a favourable impression to the visitor. Items that had been removed from the menu had been crossed out by hand and it looked very amateurish. To be fair, the food was of good quality when it arrived, but unfortunately the service was so truly dire that it completely ruined our experience. We were the only party eating at the restaurant on this particular night so you might expect the service to be above average at the very least; but no - the staff spent most of their time on Facebook and on their mobile phones and completely ignored us. We sat with our empty plates for around 20 minutes and ended up with our daughter clearing the table herself by pointedly placing the dirty dishes on the bar. Even then the staff did not take the hint. The dessert (mango cheesecake) was delicious, but again we sat with uncleared dishes whilst the staff did their own thing. There were four staff in the restaurant that evening, but none of them appeared to be remotely interested. At one point, two of them sat eating at another table, whilst we waited for our bill.... and waited, and waited. It really was beyond a joke. This was the only restaurant on our island hopping trip to the Philippines where were were forced to pay a 10% gratuity - oh the irony! The worst service we've had, and the staff get an inclusive tip!!! When we finally managed to get our bill and pay it (with the inclusive service charge), we politely asked if they would be kind enough to phone us a tricycle to enable us to return to our accommodation some distance away. Initially this was met with hostile stares, and a completely unhelpful and disinterested attitude. It was only when my husband asked whether "the boss" was available (and was told he was not on site) that their attitude improved (slightly). At this point, they conveniently remembered the number of a local driver that could assist us. I really believe that the owner of this restaurant cares about the service his customers receive. The food is very, very good. But the service is appalling and the staff need to be spoken to and service improved upon. We left with a bad taste in our mouths and a tainted view of this place. What a shame. Tom, you need to take things in hand or your reputation will suffer and it's such a pity. Please take this review in the manner in which it is intended - for improvements to be made so that when you are absent from site, your staff do not take advantage by ignoring customers and offering a service that you yourself would not find acceptable.

The owner is so nice and greeting. Service is so good and the food amazing. We had fish and desserts. Both so delicious.
Ambience is really romantic and beautiful scenery. Unfortunately hotel side lacked something. The shared bathroom was not so tidy and the we had to always ask for toilet paper. But breakfast is delicious and big.

the food was ok, took too long to serve, the owner was friendly we were enjoying ourselves until we received the bill, shock shock shock the over priced of the food was bad enough then the owner in his greed added on 5% service charge to the bill, this is a real con and an insult we Filipinos do not add a service charge, never ever again will we step foot in that pizza joint, yes the setting was nice but too far out off the highway and town. go there at your own peril.

The overall experience was absolutely great, which was exactly what me and my hubby needed to complete our vacation in Philippines! The quality of food served at this restaurant was superb and affordable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Lastly, NOT a tourist trap resto.

Went here on our 2nd and last night in Camiguin island. Staffs are very friendly. Great and affordable food with choices of mexican, spanish, filipino and even vietnamese cuisine. Its actually an old house converted into a restaurant and antique museum. Dunno if they have wifi. I like the style of the toilet too with the capiz sliding doors.

Best food we had so far in the Philippines! Felt just like in Italy!
The lovely owner imports the ingredients from Italy and you can feel it by quality.
THE HOSPITALITY was way beyond expected!
The owner was sitting and chatting with us as a friend, and in the end offered us a FREE drop off at our hotel with his extremely cool cabariolet tricycle.
A MUST VISIT!
