MAKATI CITY — Casa Italianos opened its doors in Salcedo Village in January 2026, bringing a fresh take on Northern Italian-inspired cuisine under the helm of Chef Kevin Ereneta. Located at the Ground Floor of KMC Armstrong Corporate Center along H.V. Dela Costa Street, the restaurant features a casual yet refined interior that suits both everyday dining and special occasions. Since its soft opening on January 20 and grand opening on January 25, the establishment has quickly carved a distinct identity in Makati's dynamic dining scene.
A Menu That Bridges Italian Tradition and Filipino Soul
Casa Italianos blends authentic Italian cooking with Filipino flavors and techniques, creating dishes that feel both familiar and distinctive. One of its signature offerings, Arrosto di Maiale, takes inspiration from traditional Italian roast pork while incorporating the crisp texture and rich flavors associated with Filipino lechon kawali. The restaurant also specializes in handcrafted pastas and serves two pizza styles; Neapolitan and Pinsa Romana, giving guests a choice between a classic soft crust and a lighter, crispier alternative.
Signature Dishes Worth Exploring
Among the restaurant's highlights is the Pinsa Romana Salmone, topped with cured salmon, artichokes, and capers on a Roman-style crust. Another favorite, the Casa Pinsa Romana, combines homemade Filipino-style chorizo with artichokes and mustard leaves for a unique fusion of flavors. Seafood lovers can enjoy the Risotto Nero allo Scoglio, a squid ink risotto served with seared shrimp, mussels, and squid. To end the meal, the Champorado Gelato offers a creative dessert featuring rich chocolate gelato infused with the nostalgic flavors of champorado and finished with crispy dilis flakes.
A Space for Every Occasion
The restaurant operates daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM and can accommodate private events for 30 to 80 guests, making it ideal for group gatherings.
