The pictures doesn’t give the patio justice - beautiful setting.
Came here for wine + apps. So cannot give a proper judgement re dinner.
Scallops was delicious.
Tuna carpaccio was not my favourite.
Wait service was fantastic however.
There are lots of different choices on the menu so I’m sure you can find something you like. The patio is cute and worth a visit.

I have been up since 4am being really sick and feel absolutely terrible!!!!
I had dinner at this restaurant yesterday, having only eaten and drank at my hotels late breakfast (that I have been staying at and eating from for two weeks with no problems at all). Therefore, sadly it can only be from this restaurant.
The place is well decked out and the service is friendly and welcoming. However, they need to seriously clean up their act in the kitchen.
Was supposed to be going to the chocolate hills today but can hardly stand. Thanks Guys

Quite busy as barely staff can keep up with the orders. The chicken I ordered was pre-marinated with a sugar based red color sauce but the service was not that efficient. Cleanliness of the restroom was not that good.

Our decision to include breakfast in our 3-day stay package was a very good one as Cafe Marco did not disappoint. I never thought I would miss danggit and daing na pusit so much especially when their version was most thin and crispy. It was perfect with garlic fried rice and eggs which they cook according to preference. The staff were so accommodating and courteous - never missing a beat despite the morning crowd especially by 8am. I also enjoyed their selection of healthy drinks. Not the sugary juice kind but their cucumber and ginger infused water which was very good.

Italian restaurant, specialised in thin crust and crispy Pizza and traditional Pastas and Italian dishes. We are open every day from 11 am to 11 pm. Check our chef specials of the month.
Reviewed By Maria Luisa C - Cebu City, Philippines
Another go-to place for pasta and pizza with that twist bordering on true Italian flavor yet tempered to suit the local taste buds. Truffle oil based pasta dishes are always good but the Seafood Pasta (Bianca and Rossa) are a hit and miss since there a days when the Musses used are not as fresh as we'd want it to be.

Great food combined with great place/ambiance complete one's Cebu trip. This restaurant should be part of those visiting Cebu. Spacious place allowing each guest for that much needed space to breathe and relax, perfect for small to large groups. The place has covered and open area great for a good night al fresco dining.

Standards are still right up there. My only down is Friday to Sunday is now 840 peso pax (promo @750) and at that price I would have hoped tempura prawn was full real shrimp. Otherwise the Japanese, cook at table, and filipino dishes are all excellent and fresh. Same goes for the wide range of Deserts.
9. Circa 1900

The Circa 1900 property is a popular venue for social gatherings which uses its captivating colonial architecture as its main backdrop. Its two buildings are filled with function rooms and dining spaces which aim to cater to one’s specific gathering needs. Great effort is taken to maintain and restore the building’s original architecture, and it evidently pays off. Casa Uno, which houses its fine dining concept, also displays paintings and sketches of Cebu taken during the colonial era; providing an interesting, albeit brief historical narrative of Cebu.
Right across Casa Uno is Casa Dos, which boasts of more casual food offerings. Our reservation was originally by the poolside of Casa Dos, but as it was a rainy night, we were seated in its small air-conditioned dining area.
I opted to have its Grilled Grouper (P495) for my dinner. It was difficult to deal with the dark lighting of the restaurant, but this dish tastes so much better than it looks. Its grouper had a nice bite to it, and came with a lightly crisp side which gave it a welcome charred taste. It was served with a generous serving of Caesar Salad which stayed true to the classic bacon, parmesan, and lettuce combination; all topped with a perfectly made dressing.
We decided to share an order of its Spicy Seafood Sisig Pizza (P340) as it sounded like the most interesting pizza flavor on the menu. Unfortunately, this pizza was definitely not worth the excitement. Marketed as a brick oven pizza, the flatbread pizza failed to take on the signature smoky flavor and crunchy crust expected from a brick oven. Its toppings were sparse which made the pizza bland and mediocre.

If you crave for seafood dishes, there’s only one that can come to your mind and it is this place.
They have an unlimited food choices for you to be cooked at a fixed rate yet if you have leftovers, you get to pay a fee.
Of course, the fishes & seafood are all fresh and superb. You just can’t get enough of the sumptuous cuisines cooked for your liking.
The downside is the customer service which could be understandable considering the vast area, continuous influx of customers as well as the numerous orders.
But still you can’t find any other seafood resto in town that can beat this.
