Best Italian Restaurants in Baguio

Best Italian Restaurants in Baguio

Curated guide featuring 5 outstanding restaurants, all rated 4.5+ stars

Baguio's mountain altitude—1,500 meters—makes it one of the Philippines' better cities for Italian food. Not obvious, but it works. The cool air suits slow, hearty cooking: pastas that warm you through, wood-fired pizzas crackling at the edges. The city's Italian scene has real character—less tourist-trap tablecloths, more chefs who care about dough and sauce. You'll find casual spots and proper sit-down restaurants. Quality runs higher than you'd expect. Five spots in this guide consistently earn strong praise—4.6 stars on average, across hundreds of reviews. Leandro's Bistro leads at 4.8. Mangiamo Ristorante comes in at 4.7. Three others cluster at 4.5—review counts from just over a hundred to well past a thousand. After walking Session Road, a casual pasta hits—or make it a proper dinner with someone you want to impress. These five deliver.

Amare La Cucina

★★★★☆
4.5
(1,358 reviews)

1,300 reviews at 4.5 stars. Amare La Cucina didn't stumble into that rating—the kitchen earns it night after night. The Italian-inspired name tells you what you're walking into: warmer, more considered than Baguio's usual cafe circuit. Word has spread. Go early.

Xtremely Xpresso Cafe - Baguio City

★★★★☆
4.5
(479 reviews)

Nearly 500 reviews, 4.5 stars, Brent Road. Xtremely Xpresso Cafe earns repeat visitors—not accidental ones. The atmosphere is cozy and unhurried, and coffee arrives hot. You won't leave when you planned to. Hit it on a weekday morning before the crowd builds and Baguio's cool mountain air is still doing its thing.

Gypsy Baguio by Chef Waya

★★★★☆
4.5
(304 reviews)

Over 300 reviews, 4.5 stars. That consistency—not a lucky night—is why the Quezon Hill spot keeps a loyal crowd. You'll want to go early; the dining room fills fast, and hovering for a table kills the mood. The uphill walk is worth it when Baguio's chill hits and you want food cooked with care.

Leandro's Bistro

★★★★☆
4.8
(159 reviews)

159 reviews, 4.8 stars. That's not luck—that is a track record. The crowd that lingers tells you everything about the food and service at Leandro's Bistro on Assumption Road. Worth knowing. Arrive early on weekends or you won't find a table.

Mangiamo Ristorante and Pizzeria

★★★★☆
4.7
(114 reviews)

4.7 stars from 100+ reviewers. Mangiamo on Arellano Street earned that—pizza and pasta pulling in locals and visitors on cool mountain evenings. Worth it. Get there early on weekends; word has spread, and it fills up faster than you'd expect for a street-corner spot.
