Circolo Phapi — Restaurant in Pisa

My husband and I were very delighted to discover this Filipino restaurant near Pisa Airport. The presentation and taste were very traditional - just like how my mom and grandma used to make, unlike the Filipino restaurants here in London (too elevated, doesn't look, smell and taste like the real thing). The owner and his family were very kind, accommodating and treated us like family, in fact they even gave me one of the 'Duterte' tshirt on display that's not for sale!! We visited this place TWICE in our 9-day Venice/Tuscany tour. I would've come back for more had we stayed longer in Pisa - we were there less than 24hrs. Their Sisig is a must-try. My other all-time-fave were Tapsilog and Caldereta. Also tried Menudo, Tocilog, Chicken Inasal. Before we left they gave us Filipino dessert Ginataan and Leche Flan for free :) I was able to try them when I got home in London - it was sooooo good! All the dishes we ordered so far were amazing! Highly recommended! This restaurant is probably the only reason I'd visit Pisa again, I did not really enjoy my Pisa stay compared to other parts of Italy but this restaurant made the visit worth it :) Thank you sir Larry P. and RJ and family - you guys...

Authentic Filipino spot 5 mins from Pisa just right outside the airport. Owner even accommodated my request to park closer by giving me his personal spot right by the front doors. Talk about great service.

We all ordered something different so we’d all have a taste. All the fried rice meals were on point. My kids loved every bite and then some. Portions are quite generous. Everything was cooked fresh and fairly quick. The best thing is the price. I was not expecting this much food at this quality within this price range. We had a total of 6 meals, a dessert and 4 drinks. I was quite impressed when he said 60€. Don’t forget to show him your appreciation by leaving him a generous tip!

Because the servings were pretty big, we took some in to-go boxes and also because I had to leave some room for dessert. I got halo-halo and it was just perfect.

Definitely coming back to visit and taste a few other delicacies. Thank you for your hospitality! ...

Perfect place to go when you want to try classic Filipino dishes or even just to meet friendly Filipinos and hang out with them! Very happy with the affordable prices given the delicious meals! Hoping that locals will get to appreciate Filipino cuisine and also the hospitality that the Filipinos here in Pisa has...
