Filipinos and Italians share a profound love for exceptional food. What better way to celebrate both culinary traditions than by enjoying fusion dishes that beautifully meld classic Filipino and Italian flavors, all within the charming embrace of an indoor piazza? Tucked away in a refreshingly tranquil corner of Quezon City, Caffè Allor Ristorante beckons.
The story behind the name is as heartwarming as the cuisine itself. "The name is a combination of my parents' names, Albino and Lorita – so Al and Lor," shares Mark Wang, the visionary entrepreneur and now restaurateur. "I wanted to honor them as I grow this restaurant, just as they've inspired me in my other ventures." His journey to Caffè Allor began during a honeymoon in Siena, Tuscany, where the timeless streets and architecture captivated him. He instantly knew he wanted to bring a piece of that Italian charm back home.

Mark, no stranger to the world of taste and flavor, already supplies premium ingredients to food-service businesses. This expertise ignited his desire to reinterpret the dishes he and his wife cherished during their Italian escapade. With a passion for promoting Filipino ingredients locally and with sights set on global reach, he saw the unique opportunity to showcase the richness of Filipino cuisine within an elegant Italian setting.
A Culinary Escape to an Italian Piazza
Don't let the restaurant's unassuming facade fool you. Step inside, and you're immediately transported. Guests are greeted by a delightful replica of an al fresco piazza, complete with a central fountain, inviting you to unwind and savor the unique blend of Filipino and Italian flavors with loved ones.
For those eager to explore the Filipino side of the menu, the Mango Sinigang is a must-try – a delightful twist on the traditional sour soup, elevated with crispy pork and sweet ripe mango. The Golden Egg Waffle, Caffè Allor Ristorante’s luxurious take on "kwek-kwek" adorned with edible gold, is a playful yet elegant surprise. And the Sisig Fiore, pork sisig garnished with quail eggs and artfully presented in an edible bowl, is a testament to innovative culinary artistry.
Mark emphasizes that the restaurant's Italian dishes are crafted with only the highest quality imported ingredients, from their rich tomato sauce and fragrant olive oil to premium truffle, fine flour, and exquisite cheeses. Caffè Allor Ristorante offers a tempting array of solo and shareable pasta dishes, alongside both sweet and savory crepes – the Puto Bumbong Crepe is an absolute revelation!
The menu also boasts a fine selection of Neapolitan pizzas, renowned for their thin, crispy crusts and premium toppings, staying true to their Naples origins. To complement your meal, enjoy tea and coffee made from local beans, prepared in the Italian style – strong, frothy, and wonderfully rich.
A Place for Connection and Celebration
"The goal for the restaurant is to create a family-friendly space where families can relax, enjoy a proper meal, and share delicious food together," Mark shares.
Parking is a breeze, with ample designated slots available.
