La Tegola in Busay

La Tegola Cucina Italiana restaurant located on the ground floor of the

 Foodland Building in Banilad, Cebu City, is one of the branches of

 La Tegola’s chain of restaurants in Cebu.

Romantic and cozy, La Tegola Busay branch would be a perfect spot

 for a Valentine dinner date. Dine at the lower floor and get a view of

the city lights and feel the cool mountain breeze.

La Tegola offers several Italian pasta dishes, wines and desserts.

 In the three dinners I had at La Tegola, we had Italian red wine

 as our drink. La Tegola’s red wine is sweet and left an

aftertaste in my mouth after a few glasses.

ere’s nothing like having a view of the city at night while you are

 munching on those Italian eats. Maybe the cool breeze

can hasten you to embrace your date,

This restaurant has the best view of Cebu City. An Italian

 dinner with the steady glow of the city beside

 you makes for a very intimate setting.

We’re sure there are more than a few restaurants we’ve

 missed. Of course, if you have any suggestions, feel

 free to place them in the comments below.

For those visiting Cebu, I have a tip: Go to ‘Tops’ in Busay

 Hills, Lahug to cool off from the heat and humidity while enjoying

 the beautiful views of Cebu City 2,000 feet above sea level.

 Afterwards, for a real evening treat, dine at La Tegola

 Cucina Italian restaurant nearby.

 La Tegola Cucina Italian that offers real Italian cuisine and

 beautiful mountain views as well. The restaurant is owned

 by a real Italian from Italy, says the girl who waited on us

 (service was nothing to rave about but I come from Europe

 where service is almost nonexistent so I am not complaining)

 and I can indeed tell, at least with their antipasti, that they

 are serving real Italian stuff. Well, my pasta vongole was

 lovely! My brother and sister in law had a different type of

 saucy-creamy pasta (I am not really into these)

and they were not that enthusiastic about it.

Food here is great at reasonable prices, a great deal for Italian

 food actually. Starting the dinner with this free appetizer

 with free tomato salsa in olive oil. Yum

Spaghetti Alla Lategola (270php) Spaghetti with assorted

 vegetables, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese,

 wrap in aluminum foil baked in oven.

attro Stagioni (295php) Tomato sauce, cooked ham, salami,

 mozzarella cheese, olives, mushroom & herbs

Tutta Carne (480php) Tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese,

 Sausage, cooked ham, pepper salami.

The carbonara at La Tegola is a mixture of cheese, egg yolks, bacon

 bits, black pepper, olive oil and thick white sauce that makes the dish

 rich, creamy and delicious. Toppings of basil and other herbs

 and tomatoes decorated on the side gives the

carbonara a mouth-watering appearance.

My favorite pasta dish at La Tegola is the spaghetti alla carbonara.

 Its creamy, thick white sauce made it unique from the red tomato

 sauce of spaghetti dishes that I usually know of.
