2.0 Italian Bistro - Santa Cruz

Our week is never complete without enjoying 1 to 2 glasses of Paulaner, the top German beer choice. Unlike other beers, Paulaner tastes great even when it's not ice-cold. Just be aware that by the time you reach the bottom of the glass, it may start to warm up a bit. Each glass holds 500ml and is guaranteed to be refreshing and satisfying. Cheers!

I live close by, so I have visited this restaurant several times. The Italian cuisine here is definitely superior compared to the German options. The Italian dishes have been tailored to suit the Filipino palate, while the German dishes could use some adjustment. They have a great selection of beers and it's lovely to sit outside. They also have live music on weekends. If you live in Laguna and want to avoid going all the way to Alabang or Manila, this is a restaurant worth trying!

Every Friday evening at 8:00, this restaurant treats its customers to a free concert by a talented local trio. My wife knows the lyrics to almost all the songs they play on the radio. The sound system is great, with just the right volume - loud enough to enjoy the music but not so loud that you can't have a conversation at your table. We've been there twice for dessert and drinks and next time we'll try their dinner and let you know about the food quality. The restaurant is bustling with both indoor and outdoor seating. One night we stopped by but couldn't find a seat - now they've added more seating for Fridays. The wine is served by the bottle, with prices ranging from 600 to 800 pesos. They also have a good selection of beers available.

Our week will never end without 1 to 2 glass of Paulaner, Best of the best German beer. Unlike other beers, Paulaner is good even when it was not cold. (1 glass is 500ml, they will serve it really cold but for sure, it will be already warm when you see the bottom of the glass).

I live nearby so I went there already several times.Between the German and Italian kitchen the latter is definitely better. The Italian had been adapted to the Filipino taste while the German is still what should be.Good beers. Nice to seat outside. Music during weekends. If you live around Laguna and you want to avoid a travel to Alabang or Manila ... that's a place to try!
