Have you ever wanted to visit Italy to absorb its rich and influential heritage or perhaps immerse yourself in the alluring Mediterranean Coast? If you’re in Iloilo, start by getting a sense of Italy through its famed cuisine at Amalfi Cucina Italia, the newest Italian Restaurant to open its doors in Iloilo.

Amalfi got its name from historic port town in the western coast of Italy. The Town of Amalfi, included in the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites, is an important tourist destination because of its vast collection of old buildings and great coastal sceneries. Amalfi is also famous in Italy for its indulgent cuisine which relies on sun-kissed vegetables and herbs, salty capers, dried pasta, and fresh farmhouse cheeses (most notable of which is its water buffalo’s mozzarella).

Amalfi Cucina Italia has a wide range of Italian dishes to choose from tasty pasta and pizza, fresh salads and soups, mouth watering steaks, to sweet desserts and an excellent collection of wine. Although the prices are a bit expensive by Iloilo’s standards, the delicious food at Amalfi is definitely worth it. If you’re planning on impressing a date through a romantic dinner, then Amalfi should be your first option.

Amalfi is located in The Avenue building in Pison Complex more popularly known as Smallville, Iloilo’s prime entertainment destination. Amalfi is open everyday for lunch and dinner. Also located in The Avenue is Bauhinia, Mojave Grill and Restaurant, Nothing but Desserts, and Coffee Break.
I havnt tried any foods in this resto but base on the pictures they look good and dilicious. Iloilo City really is a progressive city not to mention humble people yet lots of them where rich.
Went there with my fiance last Valentine’s day. What can I say? We were absolutely satisfied all the way from the ambience to the food and the affable service staffs.
I would like to share some of the photos I took when we dined there. http://www.flickr.com/photos/digipam/
Great pics P@M … really looks like you had a great dinner in Amalfi :)
When we came to Ilo Ilo last december 2009 I found this piece of gem located at Small Ville. Amalfi Cucina Italiana !
Me and my partner were so amazed with the quality of the gourmet foods and wines they served. That lady in the picture above holding a plate treated us so well and she/they are very professional in what they do.
They serve an excellent Italian food.. and that is for sure! and the best thing of all is the value for money… The cost definitely is cheaper compared with here in Manila.
Amalfi is so far the best Italian restuarant we have experienced. And this gives us a reason to go back to Ilo-Ilo in the near future.
Hi, Sir Michael. Thank you for the complements. We eally appreciate it. It was serving you and you partner. Hoing to see you here in Amalfi.
I have been heavily exploring the internet for fine dining restaurants in Iloilo City, and so far, Amalfi has intrigued me the most. I am looking forward to treating my loved one at this location as a part of our “prom night.” :) By the sounds of other comments, I hope and feel my expectations will be fulfilled.
Funny, but my friend and I were supposed to eat there already but upon entrance I saw some people who I don’t want to really interact with outside work so I pulled my friend at once and went directly to the nearby restaurant which is Bauhinia (Bauhinia turned out to be one of my fave restaurants.) Anyhoo, I still want to try Amalfi next time :)
Hi! I love Italian cuisine. I want to try this out. How much would it cost me for 5-6 people? Do you also offer buffet dinner? If yes, what’s the schedule and how much per person?
Went to Amalfi In January this year 2011 on the night of Dinagyang. Signature Iced tea is the best. We also tried one of their Pizza selections and it’s very good as well. The place was recommended by my cousin Stephen Sale. Great place to hang out with friends!
By the way, the signature tea cost about 95.00 peso and Pizza price depends on the selection. It may sound costly but its worth it! :))
