Casa Soriano Family Heirloom Cuisine — Restaurant in Naga

I booked their largest room for a family event. This sums up my experience. Pros: Responsive and Communicative: The restaurant was quick to respond to inquiries and easy to communicate with during the booking process. Beautiful Venue: The restaurant boasts a beautiful ambiance with multiple function rooms to accommodate various guest counts, offering flexibility for different event sizes.

Cons: Lack of Contract: Despite making a downpayment, no formal contract was provided. This creates uncertainty and potential for disputes. Insufficient Food Portions: The amount of food served was inadequate for the number of guests. Serving sizes were extremely small. To be more accurate, the bangus ala pobre was cut into 4 pieces and 1/4 of it was served per plate. Leche flan serving size measures 1"x2". The rest of the dishes (kare kare, Bicol express) were only a couple of spoonfuls per plate. Many guests left hungry. High Price Point: The price per plate ($700) was exorbitant, especially considering the limited quantity and quality of food served. No Child Discounts: The lack of reduced prices for children further increased the overall cost of the event. Recommendations: Improve Food Portions: Increase serving sizes significantly to ensure guests are adequately fed. Review Pricing: Re-evaluate the pricing structure, considering the quality and quantity of food served. Implement Child Discounts: Offer discounted pricing for children to make the event more affordable for families. Provide a Formal Contract: Issue a detailed contract after receiving a downpayment to outline all agreed-upon terms and conditions. Overall: While the restaurant boasts a beautiful ambiance and offers flexibility with its function rooms, the experience was ultimately disappointing due to the inadequate food portions, high prices, and lack of a formal contract. I would not recommend this restaurant for large gatherings, particularly those...

We heard some good things about this place, so we drove out there on a Friday night; its almost impossible to find. Turns out the original sign got knocked down, and the owner is too cheap to replace it, so he prefers potential customers to drive around looking for it instead of simply pulling in and spending money. It never fails to amaze me, some of the business decisions of Filipino business owners.

Anyway, someone in the road flagged me down, suspecting correctly that I was looking for the restaurant, because this is how everyone finds it evidently, and we went inside, and asked for a table outside.

Nice ambiance, we were the only ones there at 6 pm on a Friday night, which I thought was odd. The restaurant is next to a filipino barangay (neighborhood), so we were subjected to an hour of screaming roosters and barking dogs, some kids yelling, etc from across the wall, but that’s PI.

In short, the brought us our food. The “Mediterranean Salad”, was only Romaine lettuce, glazed walnuts, several thin pieces of sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, and a light sprinkling of dried cheese. No olives, no tomatoes, no cucumbers; nothing that is normally on a Med Salad. I felt ripped off at 530 peso. I think the management needs to Google “Mediterranean Salad”. However, it was a good salad, just not what they advertise.

My Porchetta was served luke-warm, so I assume it was pre-made and only warmed up in the oven. It wasn’t hot, but warm enough to touch and cut.

Last thing was the white rice; they served us old, stale rice as if it had been cooked yesterday or possible earlier, and left in the rice cooker all day. It was not warm, and it was dry and hard to...

Casa Soriano is a charming garden-style restaurant perfect for quiet dinners and family gatherings. The warm ambiance, accented by artful interiors and a lush garden, makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a well-loved ancestral home.

I appreciated how attentive and courteous the staff were from the moment we arrived. They promptly offered water, made helpful menu suggestions, and checked in just enough during the meal without being intrusive.

We started with a fresh garden salad, which was a smart move—it balanced the richness of the main dishes that followed. The Porchetta was a standout: perfectly savory with a satisfyingly crispy skin. I also tried the sisig, which had good flavor but lacked the expected crispiness. The texture leaned more on the soft side, which may not be ideal if you’re a fan of crunchy sisig.

To end the meal, we ordered their leche flan. It was smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet—just the way I like it.

Overall, Casa Soriano delivers on atmosphere and hospitality, and while some dishes shine more than others, the experience is memorable and...
