One of the things that makes the holidays special is gathering family, friends, and colleagues together to share a fine meal and swap stories.
Salvatore Cuomo & Bar, the eponymous restaurant chain of the restaurateur and celebrity chef known as the pioneer of Neapolitan pizza in Japan, serves authentic Italian cuisine in an elegant and modern setting–perfect for the discerning set looking for a venue for their holiday dinners and get-togethers.
Its Uptown parade branch has a private room that can accommodate intimate holiday lunches or dinners for up to 12 people, and a large function room for 30 guests. Together, these two rooms can fit a maximum of 40. There is also an option to book the whole restaurant, including outdoor seating, for larger groups of up to 170 guests.
As with its main restaurant in Japan, the menu at the BGC branch is carefully crafted to reflect Chef Salvatore Cuomo’s attention to detail for using only the freshest and best ingredients.
Known for his hands-on approach to managing his restaurants, Chef Salvatore’s continuous quest for freshness takes him to Manila’s wet markets where he personally chooses seafood. He also brings in high quality ingredients like Wagyu from Japan, seafood from Europe, and cheeses and cured meats from Italy.
