Makati Go-To's

I’ve always loved Gino’s Pizza, but I accidentally stumbled upon this branch as my friend and I were going around to look for lunch while we had an event around the area. We ordered a Cacio e Pepe Pasta, and Margherita with fresh mozzarella and Five Cheese for our pizzas. Of course we had to get extra Gino’s Spicy Honey!!!

Celebrated my 22nd birthday here! This was my go-to place for pastas even before the pandemic hit. I know that they’ve gained a lot more traction since malls have opened up, so it’s harder to get seats now. Best to phone ahead and reserve a table! My faves are the Gnocco Fritto con Salumi, Mozzarelline Fritte, Tagliatelle al Ragu, Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, 4 Formaggi, Margherita con Bufala, Stracciatella, Pollo al Burro, and their Tiramisu! Whenever I want to feel like a kid again, I go to for the Iced Chocolate Milk, but they have amazing cocktails as well! My go-to’s ar the amaretto sour, negroni, and the aperol spritz! Most of their dishes were really handmade in-store (stays true to the name "A Mano" which means made by hand!) and this is being supervised almost daily by the owner, Amado Fores (you did an amazing job raising him Tita Margarita!!!).
