The place is nice and located directly at the entrance of Dmall, right on the beach. It's a crowded place, but the staff is skilled. It's a spot where people come to eat and leave. It has a bit of a fast-food restaurant vibe, but...the quality is still good. The staff is friendly, and the quality and portion sizes are worth the price. I can recommend this place with peace of mind. Its location is in the center of the attractions, making it the perfect spot to have dinner and then head straight to the party afterward.More

We started off with Pumpkin Soup, such a delicious and hearty soup! It instantly warmed our hearts 😍 Then we had Insalata Greca and we were stunned with its generous serving. Their Risotto was creamy and delicious, the taste of seafood is so satisfying. For...our pasta cravings we chose Tagliatelle con tartufo, with white truffle sauce, asparagus and Parma ham. The aroma of truffle kept us wanting for more. Their Aglio Olio, has a classy and clean taste. And my daughter fell in love with Rotolino. The dough, the combination of flavors of mushroom, ham and cheese is superb. Every bite is a delight! On service: We were there during busy hours and surprisingly, orders were served fast. No delays at all. Everyone is lively, cheerful and attentive to guests. What a great team! Despite being too busy, they managed to sing a birthday song for a guest at one of the tables and we ended up singing too 😍 No wonder this place has a history of almost 20 years in Boracay. Aria at night is so vibrant and lively. A place you should never miss when you're in Boracay. Would love to come again next time. 10/10 😱👍💪💪💪More

Situation in a vibrant, busy location right on the beach, close to D’Mall. Has indoor & outdoor seating available. We were served by a very friendly waiter, who was able to reassure me that they had gluten free pasta available, and that the chef had...trained the staff about gluten free food! Helped me to feel less anxious about choosing my meal (I have coeliac disease). Had a delicious creamy mushroom & bacon pasta. Lots of other choices on the menu; meat dishes, pizzas etc.More

This was hands down the best meal I've had in Bora so far. Don't know what to order? Start with the Pasta al Fume. You might not try anything else after. This is an incredibly well balanced play between bacon, brandy and Emmental cheese perfectly...coating al dente pasta. We also had the Calabrese pizza - shot up to Top 3 of best pizzas I've had in the PH. Drop by. Eat. Drop by again. Eat again.More

Great service, everyone was very attentive. Food was okay and a bit on the pricier side. It was overall a good experience still.

Average experience. Busy place. Food was rushed out all at once and plates were crammed into table with no attention to detail from waiters. Definitely rough and ready. Pizza was nice. A lot of oil used in the food. Would not return.

Short and simple. One of the BEST PIZZA restaurant in the Island. Staffs are well trained. Hope next time there’s a Tabasco in the house. I love Tabasco in my pizza. 🥰 But overall it’s highly recommended.More

I was recommended to try this Italian Restaurant by Indai Nicky a very good friend of mine and we were not disappointed. Everything we tried on their menu was frst class. From Capaccio to Pizza, from Merlot to Barolo, from Cappuccino to Cheesecake everything was...first class. The ambience, the location on the beachfront just makes this fine restaurant even better!!

We came for lunch and we were seated outside and unfortunately there was no breeze while we were there. We ordered Calabrese and Aria pizza and both were nice with just enough filling.. Deep fried Calamari was crispy and tasty and cooked just right, paired...perfectly with a yummy herb base mayonnaise dipping sauce.More

This place is very busy. The waitstaff and servers are really nice and we were able to get seats. I ordered the Seafood pasta which is excellent. My husband ordered the parmigiana chicken however it came with Just plain Penne pasta without the pasta sauce....I would have given it a 5 rating. Maybe we are not used to chicken parmigiana served that way. Also , I was able to get seated When I noticed customers leaving and pointed the table to yhe staff. I will definitely eat here again.More
