Trattoria Altrove - Bacuit

Best pizza I've had in a long time!!! Definitely best on the island!!! Same one they have on Siargao. If you get there before 5:30pm, you might not have to wait. It's packed every night with a line 10-20 people deep!!! Pizza hack- order delivery!! The number is in the pictures

The place offers a candle-light dinner, the place is cozy and relaxing. You took off your shoe/slipper and place it on the shoe rack prior going up the restaurant, maybe to maintain cleanliness of the place, it looked like an old house turn into restaurant. Food was good, pizza was great!

Upon entering the restaurant, they have this no shoe policy which not all may be comfortable with. The place is on open air so it gets quite humid and hot. I think it needs more ventilation. We had frutti di mare and prosciutto pizza. These had generous servings and can be shared by 2 people. Overall the food is good but I recommend try also the other things on the menu.

Pizza was absolutely great. Pasta looked like canteen food but surprisingly tasted al dente and amazing too. This restaurant rewrote my impression on Philippino food. That said, this place was too famous. Both this restaurant and the takeaway place altrove express in the next alley were packed with people. We waited for 40 minutes to get a table. With long waiting time, lukewarm service, a bit smelly water glass, I am not sure whether it's worthwhile. I heard there's a branch in corong corong. Maybe that would be a better choice.

Pizza here is big, tasty and delicious. The pizza is soooo good that we had to eat there twice during our visit in El Nido. We ordered Panchetta con tartufo during those two visits, this pizza is topped with truffle cream with bacon and mozarella cheese. Highly recommend.
