Italian food in Makati by occasion
For a planned dinner: Fresca Trattoria
Fresca Trattoria is the only restaurant on this list in the highest price band. It is listed in Legazpi Village rather than Salcedo. Treat it as a dinner you plan. Ask whether a table needs booking, and check the current menu and the likely total for your group before you go.
For pizza with a group: Gino's and Crosta
Gino's Brick Oven Pizza is in Salcedo Village in the middle price band. It is a straightforward choice for a table that wants pizza to share.
Crosta Pizzeria is also in Salcedo Village, at the same price band. If Gino's has no table, it is the next option in the same part of Makati.
For a meal near Ayala: Italianni's and Amici
Italianni's Ayala North Exchange is on the ground level of Ayala North Exchange, in Legazpi Village. It suits a visit when you are already on that side of Ayala Avenue.
Amici - The Shops at Ayala Triangle Gardens is on Makati Avenue inside the Ayala Triangle Gardens complex. Amici has more than one Makati branch, so choose this one by its listed address rather than by the name alone.
For pizza on Jupiter Street: Pizza Telefono
Pizza Telefono - Jupiter is listed at 74 Jupiter. It is in the second-highest price band here, so it fits a dinner with friends better than a quick bite. It is the best option on this list if you are already on Jupiter Street.
For a meal with family: Casa Italianos and Pink's
Casa Italianos is in Salcedo Village, near H.V. dela Costa, in the middle price band.
Pink's Hotdogs & Pizza Sisters Salcedo is also in Salcedo Village, at the same band. Its name points to pizza and hot dogs, so it is the simpler of the two options.
For the lowest price band: Pizzetta
Pizzetta is on Dona Carmen in Makati and is in the lowest price band on this list. It is the easiest pick when budget is the main limit. Check the menu before you go if the meal is for a celebration.
Choose the area first
Makati is spread out. The same restaurant can be convenient from one starting point and inconvenient from another, so pick the area before the restaurant.
- Salcedo Village: Gino's Brick Oven Pizza, Crosta Pizzeria, Casa Italianos, and Pink's Hotdogs & Pizza Sisters Salcedo are listed in the same village.
- Ayala Triangle Gardens and Makati Avenue: Amici - The Shops at Ayala Triangle Gardens.
- Legazpi Village: Fresca Trattoria and Italianni's Ayala North Exchange.
- Jupiter Street: Pizza Telefono - Jupiter.
- Dona Carmen: Pizzetta.
If you can only visit one area, Salcedo Village gives the most choice on this list: four restaurants in one village.
What to check before you leave

- Menu. Italian menus change. If one dish matters to your group, check the current menu first.
