This Italian restaurant in Makati is perfect for a romantic date night

Trattoria Altrov'e offers an Italian food experience without breaking the bank

Published Feb 14, 2024 04:06 pm

Are you looking for a fancy, romantic, but affordable restaurant to go to for a date this love month?

You may want to check the Italian restaurant Trattoria Altrov’e at KMC Armstrong Corporate Center in Salcedo Village, Makati City. Upon opening the door, a life-size statue of a woman greets every visitor, paired with a high ceiling, white leather couches for a comfortable dining experience, and some abstract paintings hanging on the walls, giving that all-romantic vibe without leaving the metro. 

Apart from aesthetics, the restaurant boasts delectable Italian dishes without breaking the bank. Before opening the Makati branch, Trattoria Altrov’e had already been serving delightful dishes in various tourist destinations, including Palawan, Siargao, and the Hundred Islands.

Here are some of the must-try items from their menu:

  • Pretzels

Start your journey with freshly baked pretzels with chocolate dip and butter. It is best paired with a cup of hot coffee. 

  • Pizzas and pasta

This restaurant takes pride in its hand-made pizzas, available in 15 flavors. Among their best-sellers are Frutti de mare, a zesty blend of seafood with crushed tomatoes, mozzarella, and herbs; Prosciutto crudo de Tartufo, featuring air-dried Parma ham, Italian truffle cream, arugula, tomatoes, and cheese; and Hawaiiana, loaded with pineapple, ham, tomatoes, and mozzarella. If you crave culinary entertainment, you can watch the chef hand-toss the dough and prepare the pizza live before it goes into a built-in brick oven.

There are 12 pasta flavors to choose from. Before deciding on the flavors, you can choose the type of pasta you prefer—fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti. If you enjoy spicy dishes, the must-try option is All Arrabbiata, made with bacon, chili, and paprika. Classic enthusiasts can savor Carbonara, prepared with bacon, cream, and egg yolk. For a unique experience, explore Frutti de Mare Nero, a black pasta tossed in lemon juice and cuttlefish ink, complemented by anchovies, crab claw, and fresh tomatoes.

  • The Meat

Meat lovers eager to explore the Filipino-Italian fusion of flavors are in for a treat. Indulge in the Osso Buco Mechado, a beef shank stewed in a Machado recipe; Pollo e Cacciatore, chicken stewed in an adobo recipe with Renato juice, coconut milk, and paprika; and Bistecca alla Filipino, a striploin steak cooked in bistek Tagalog style.

Trattoria Altrov’é is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturday to Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
