Authentic Italian in Sucat? It must be Daniele's!

There's foodie paradise along congested Sucat Road. In the middle on what seems to be a sea of endless traffic stoplights, crazy jeepneys, and rows of flower shops near Manila Memorial Park, there's a small house called Daniele's that serves authentic Italian food. Drive too fast and you might miss it, it  a small signage and a chair literally glued to its wall.

If you're familiar with Bellini's in Cubao, well...Daniele is operated by the owner's son.  (Movie trivia: Bellini's is the restaurant where they shot the movie One More Chance, yep that awkward scene where Popoy meets Basha after they break up.

Anyway back to Daniele's, their exact name is Daniele's Casa Mia Italian Restaurant  the place is a hodgepodge of Italian kitsch. Papparazi photos everywhere. Paintings. Cheesy Leaning Power of Pisa murals. But the food is amazingly good and with Mr. Daniele around, he will personally assist and offer you a lot of goodies not on the menu.

bread and home-made liver pate

We started off with their bread and pate. And a parmesan with arugula (not in pic)
This was ok. The arugula made the sliced parmesan hard to swallow because its quite bitter.
We first ordered the 4 cheese pizza. Mr. Daniele suggested we try their Zuppa, a special dish off the menu, its actually a seafood tomato soup for sharing. This was good. We also had two pastas, a variation of their Frutti di mare with Fettucine and Truffle oil pasta with mushroom and prosciutto.
They were kinda generous with their servings and we were overwhelmed we ordered too much.

Buon Giorno.

Going there, turn right from SLEX Sucat Exit
this is just across Manila Memorial.
You'll pass thru Grami Hotel and veer to your right.
Parking is a problem.
You'll have to risk parking at Sucat Road or the building
beside their resto.
