If you ever find yourself craving rice while in Vatican City, this nearby Filipino restaurant is definitely a hidden gem worth checking out. It’s slightly tucked away, but not hard to find if you’re up for a bit of a walk from St. Peter’s Basilica. And honestly, after all the sightseeing and walking, a good hearty Filipino meal hits the spot!
We ordered the pork adobo (some might call it humba), and it was cooked just right—tender, flavorful, and comforting, just like how it’s made back home. We also tried the ginataang tambakol (tuna cooked in coconut milk), and were pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted.

Read moreA male cashier was in the middle of taking my order, explaining the menu, but one of the cooks named Ate Vangie kept on asking him for several things like get soda for her, and get some ice. We were in the middle of a transaction and I am a customer yet she kept rudely interrupting us. I found this to be very unprofessional and distracting. It was also very disrespectful not just to me, but to the cashier who was obviously embarrassed at what's happening. Well dining, I can hear her yapping in the kitchen, ordering everyone around. She needs to learn how to keep the place professional. I will definitely...
