Our Story

Founded by Giordano Galante, Al Bacio began in Subic Bay in 2003 before relocating to Angeles City in 2007. Originally from the Veneto region in Northern Italy, Giordano has decades of experience in the ASEAN restaurant scene.

His vision for Al Bacio was simple: create a place that serves real Italian cuisine with real Italian ingredients — no shortcuts, no compromises. Today, he continues to lead the restaurant hands-on, ensuring that every dish reflects the traditions and standards he proudly stands by.

“Al Bacio means with a kiss — and that’s exactly how we prepare and serve our food. With care, authenticity, and love.”

— Giordano Galante, Owner & Founder

What Our Guests Say

Sven S., Local Guide

"Highly recommended. Every dish was delicious and they even prepared a special meal for my dietary needs. Portions were generous, music was pleasant, and the AC was just right. We were even served limoncello and grappa at the end. A truly thoughtful and enjoyable dining experience."

Giorgio M., Tripadvisor

“I ate here nearly every night during my 20-day stay. Authentic Italian flavors, real ingredients, and a welcoming vibe. Favorites were the penne ragù, saltimbocca, and T-bone steak. True Italian espresso, great wine list, and top-notch service. It genuinely feels like being in Italy.”

Lisa P., Google Review

“Came here on a business trip from the U.S. and was blown away. The place is charming, and the food was excellent. I have a gluten allergy and they were incredibly accommodating. Had mozzarella, risotto, and chicken parm — all perfect. Truly a hidden gem in Angeles City.”
