I have always passed this place but I have never had the chance to try it and finally a few weeks ago, I came over and I LOVE IT!!!
This floor in Greenbelt 5 was meant to be all Filipino – fashion, food etc but maybe they were not able to fill it up to complete the floor. It would be nice to have a whole mall with all Filipino! I wish we had one
Enjoyed lunch with the owners – Chito Vijandre (designer), Bambi Sy ( chef) and Ricky Toledo. Very funny people and very interesting Filipino food. Bambi lived abroad for 10 years- studied in CIA, worked in the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto and David Bouley in New York. Chito and Ricky are the ones behind Firma and AC+632 ( right across the restaurant ) and they chose Bambi amongst a roster of chefs to put up Fidel, the French Moroccan restaurant in Malate. Chef Bambi can do both savory and sweets. When Greenbelt 5 opened in 2007, they were asked to open a Filipino restaurant and so Restaurante Pia Y Damaso was born. I have been wanting to try it!! 
It’s subversive Filipino cuisine- meaning different and revolutionary. Heart2Heart loved different, unique and revolutionary 🙂 Heart2Heart is subversive 🙂
It’s Filipino and Spanish inspired by the novel Noli Me Tangere by Jose Rizal- the events, the food and the characters. If you still have not tried it, make sure to come over! Patronize our very own
