2.0 Italian Bistro - Santa Cruz

Our week will never end without 1 to 2 glass of Paulaner, Best of the best German beer. Unlike other beers, Paulaner is good even when it was not cold. (1 glass is 500ml, they will serve it really cold but for sure, it will be already warm when you see the bottom of the glass).

I live nearby so I went there already several times.Between the German and Italian kitchen the latter is definitely better. The Italian had been adapted to the Filipino taste while the German is still what should be.Good beers. Nice to seat outside. Music during weekends. If you live around Laguna and you want to avoid a travel to Alabang or Manila ... that's a place to try!

Every Friday night at 8:00 PM this restaurant provides it's customers with a free concert by a very good local trio. My wife knows the words to almost all their songs, from the radio. They have a good sound system, and play loud enough, but not too loud. You can still easily have a conversation at your table. We have been there twice, for desert and drinks. Next time we go for dinner, and tell you about the food quality.It is very busy, with inside and outside seating. One night we stopped by but could find a seat, now they add extra seating for Fri. night. Wine is by the bottle. (Ok prices, 600 to 800 Pesos per bottle). A fair selection of beers.

Our week is never complete without enjoying 1 to 2 glasses of Paulaner, the top German beer choice. Unlike other beers, Paulaner tastes great even when it's not ice-cold. Just be aware that by the time you reach the bottom of the glass, it may start to warm up a bit. Each glass holds 500ml and is guaranteed to be refreshing and satisfying. Cheers!

I live close by, so I have visited this restaurant several times. The Italian cuisine here is definitely superior compared to the German options. The Italian dishes have been tailored to suit the Filipino palate, while the German dishes could use some adjustment. They have a great selection of beers and it's lovely to sit outside. They also have live music on weekends. If you live in Laguna and want to avoid going all the way to Alabang or Manila, this is a restaurant worth trying!
