We all knew that there are numerous restaurants around Timog. You can choose whether it’s a high-end restaurant, bar, or a cafe. Just recently, we we’re invited to a food tasting of a newly Filipino restaurant along Sct. Rallos. The name is Abbiocco Alternative Filipino.

ABOUT ABBIOCCO ALTERNATIVE FILIPINO

The word “abbiocco” means sleepy feeling you get after a big satisfying meal. This is exactly what any modern-day Pinoy could define as fulfilling—big servings, timeless dishes, reinvented versions, etc.

To add more interesting dishes, they also include Spanish, Italian, and Western cuisine to their diners. This place is set to establish new family traditions, elevate celebrations, and surpass trends. Look at the minimalist yet elegant interior of the restaurant.

We really had fun with the food tasting at Abbiocco. Can’t wait to go back here and try their other best seller food. Today, July 30, is now on its soft opening. Go head to their place and experience good food and good place. I just hope they would have a Free Wifi for as the location has a weak signal for data.
