People these days are increasingly discussing cuisine and writing about it, yet some are wondering why Italian Cuisine is picking up at this very fast pace in Asia.

We believe (after operating in the region for more than 15 years) that Italian Cuisine best supports the idea that nowadays, good food must be light, healthy and wholesome, with respect to the daily diet about which more and more people are increasingly concerned. The Italian Cuisine offers the best.

The new Menú that Chef Moreno is proposing to our valued customers is again most ingeniously refined, simple and effective.


BUON APPETITO

"... L'Opera has become very popular among Filipinos and expatriate customers. The restaurant's atmosphere is friendly and cozy. Mattei's partner and manager, Paolo Nesi, says, 'our menu is only a suggestion to the customer because there is no need for a telephone book menu. Many of our customers order what they have tried in Italy or in other Italian restaurants around the world and if we have the ingredients, we always make the requested dishes for them. Actually, my dream is not to have a menu at all, like in the family restaurants in Italy..."

"... for sheer popularity as measured by the degree of difficulty in booking tables, L'Opera seems to beat everyone by a mile. At noon, executives love the fast service and light menu which are a convenient, energizing break in the middle of a busy workday. Evenings are for meals of relaxed sophistication, when diners have the luxury of time to enjoy their meals at leisure.
