MANILA, Philippines - Have a taste of what genuine Italian cuisine is all about all days of the year at Parmigiano Italian Kitchen, one of the authentic Italian restaurants in the metropolis today.
Take for example Parmigiano’s Napoletana pizzas. While Filipinos are more familiar with American-style pizzas and their thick crusts, what sets Parmigiano’s Napoletana pizzas apart from its competitors is that they are cooked the Neapolitan way, a thin-crust pizza with a crunchy edge and soft and chewy middle, and baked in a blazing-hot brick oven for only 90 seconds.
Of all the known types of Italian pizza, those cooked the Neapolitan way (based on the traditional Italian cooking in the city of Naples or Napoli which is known for its rich history, art, culture, architecture, music, and food) is touted to be the most authentic since Neapolitan pizzas are prepared with Italian-grown and harvested ingredients.
Another thing that sets Parmigiano Italian Kitchen above the rest is its team of cooking experts, led by Rainier Joseph “RJ” Ungco and Marco Antonio Portugal.
Also part of the highly trained team of food connoisseurs is the president of iFoods Inc. himself, Bryan Tiu, who personally flew to Italy to undergo training.
Overall, leading the team is executive chef Krystel Cokehyeng, who oversees Parmigiano’s team of food connoisseurs that help lend Parmigiano that genuine Italian flair for gastronomic excellence.
However, it is the price factor that also makes dining at Parmigiano Italian Kitchen an enjoyable experience. Dining remains very affordable, especially if you’re a big group, dining for the first time at a genuine Italian restaurant and savoring Italian cuisine cooked the Italian way, or simply enjoying the ambiance at Resorts World Manila, the newest and most chic mall in the country today.
Parmigiano Italian Kitchen’s Napoletana pizzas are also very affordable. You can get a 12-inch to 14-inch pizza (good for about eight slices that can feed three to four persons) for only P300-P350 per order. That only means you don’t have to go all the way to Naples, Italy just to enjoy real Neapolitan pizza.
Parmiagiano Italian Kitchen is located at the second floor, Newport Mall, Resorts World Manila, Pasay City. It is open daily from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. For reservations, call 659-8295.
