Zucchero Cafe

We wanted to try Gangam Korean Resto with the face of the singer- Psy. It was closed and ended of trying a Filipino Cafe- Zucchero.

The food was comforting good but was served too long despite us being the lone customer. You gotta try their Zucchero vegetables which had string beans, pork, coconut and chili. That was memorable. The spiciness had a nice kick which stayed in the mouth. Highly recommend this.

Beef Caldereta had a generous portion and the meat was tender. The sauce was thick enough and wonderful paired with potatoes and carrots.

The Tanigue Miso was just okay. I wondered why they had to fry the fish. This made the soup too oily.

Well I had two rice which meant I’ll be likely come back when in the area. This place was a resto worth risking. Try it too!

Oh the chocolate cake to end it was delightful. Not too sweet and moist! The only concern was that it crumbled on each slice.

The place has an excellent ambience. We went here just for dessert after having a feast elsewhere. Service was good too. What gave it a 3 star were the cakes we bought. The blueberry cheesecake tasted stale, and it tasted more like gelatin than cheesecake. Perhaps the other food they serve are better, I'm just not sure how fresh their cakes are.

This is for the Intramuros branch

Nice interiors, nice not great. I don't know if there are many people going here since it's summer and there are still no classes for college students and we came here with only one other group of people inside.

On to the food...

I had Iced Cafe Latte and Chicken & Bacon Ravioli, my boyfriend had Puttanesca and Strawberries & Cream

Cafe Latte tasted hmmm... INSTANT?
Chicken & Bacon Ravioli, generous servings, slightly hard pasta and not so many nor tasty filling but it was okay, I liked the tomato sauce.

Strawberries & Cream was.... I think, a little too sweet.
Puttanesca was, again, okay.. for me.

Fast service (it should be since there aren't any many dining), kind staff.

Pricey for just "just okay" dishes.

Actually they are not all mine. I just took a bite of it and yeah no more.

It's all good. I think their cakes are from Purple Oven or Starbucks
