La Carinderia Siargao

La Carinderia captures the unpretentious warmth of its Siargao origins, blending Italian heritage with a Filipino heart. Chef Stefano Tomasiello, hailing from Turin, celebrates this cultural marriage through regional Italian dishes and fresh pasta, often reimagined with locally sourced ingredients. Since expanding from the island to Makati, the restaurant has touched more diners while remaining a bastion of honest, comforting flavours. The experience is intentionally casual and unassuming, offering a soulful dining environment where the energy of a traditional carinderia meets the refinement of handmade Italian home cooking.

Tatler Tip
