Bistro Group’s TGI Friday’s and Italianni’s are making their way up north. These fan-favorite casual dining restaurants will crank up the flavor and double the fun as they open in SM City Laoag this October.
American casual dining chain TGI Friday’s opened Oct. 8, marking its 30th location as it celebrates 30 years in the Philippines, reflecting the brand’s enduring popularity. It arrives at the mall as the go-to spot for high-energy ambiance. Get your fill on the popular Fried Mozzarella, tender fall-off-the-bone Ribs, Burgers, Bottomless Mojitos and more. Bring your friends and family and make countless memories where it’s always Friday. Have a couple of drinks by the bar and be captivated by the bartending flair or catch up with an old friend over American food that always hits the spot.
Start the feast with freshly baked focaccia and Tuscan bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Treat yourself to a wide selection of fresh salads, al dente pasta in all shapes, oils and sauces, delectable oven-baked pizzas and meaty mains that will satisfy your palate. Whether it’s a relaxing dinner after work, a family gathering or a romantic date, Italianni’s is where there’s good company and dishes served with warmth and generosity.
Residents and tourists are invited to enjoy the hearty flavors and fun dining experiences in these two new vibrant gathering places.
