Trattoria Altrov'é: A journey of love and pizza

This Palawan-based Italian restaurant opens new branch in Manila


From its humble beginnings in El Nido, Palawan, Italian restaurant Trattoria Altrov'é has captured the hearts and palates of both international and local visitors. 

Over the past decade, the restaurant has expanded its reach, setting up shop in picturesque islands such as Coron, Siargao, and Moalbal, becoming a must-visit destination for anyone seeking mouthwatering pizza, pasta, and unforgettable homemade gelato.

The story begins with Martin Lange and Sandy Dimaya, a couple who share a passion for traditions, cultures, and culinary delights.

Martin and Sandy, both avid travelers, crossed paths in France back in 2004. They discovered their shared love for exploring new flavors and experiencing different cuisines. It was during one of Sandy's visits to Martin in Slovenia in 2005 that she stumbled upon the best pizza she had ever tasted. The pizza left a lasting impression on her, and together, they dreamt of bringing that exceptional pizza experience to the Philippines.

With their hearts set on sharing their creation with the world, Martin and Sandy opened Trattoria Altrov'é in El Nido, Palawan. The name Trattoria, meaning "family-run restaurant," reflected their vision of creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for their guests. Altrov'é, meaning "something different" or "elsewhere," represented their commitment to offering a unique dining experience.

From its humble beginnings in El Nido town, Trattoria Altrov'é quickly gained popularity among both locals and tourists. Word spread about the exceptional quality of their pizza, and people started lining up for hours just to savor a slice. 

Encouraged by their success, Martin and Sandy expanded their business to other popular tourist destinations like Corong-corong Elnido, Coron, Moalboal, Siargao, Hundred Islands, San Jose Tarlac, Caliraya, and Anilao. Each new branch proved to be a triumph, solidifying the restaurant as a must-visit culinary gem in the Philippines. 

Now, the restaurant has arrived in the bustling city of Makati, bringing with it the same commitment to exceptional cuisine and warm hospitality. While the restaurant preserves its renowned culinary masterpieces, it has also embraced a modern interior design, featuring a nature-inspired white minimalist aesthetic that exudes good vibes.
