The Taste of Italy in Rustan’s
Christmas season is here and we can’t help but dream about our next holiday destination. Home to some of the most famous structures and grandest art masterpieces, Italy would be the perfect place to unwind for travelers. Think delicious Italian cuisine that is complemented with wine, followed by a delectable dessert! It certainly comes to mind when Santa asks, “what do you wish for this Christmas?”
True to their word of Enchanting the Holidays, Rustan’s brings forth the L’Opera Christmas Caffe, a pop-up restaurant that offers authentic Italian Christmas flavors at the 5th Level of Rustan’s Makati. Decked with yuletide garlands, Italian green walls and elegant holiday decorations, L’Opera Christmas Caffe lets the magic of Natale come alive at Rustan’s.
Discover and indulge traditional Christmas dishes beyond the borders of the Philippines without having to leave the country, as Italian executive chef, Luciano “Paolo” Nesi whips up a gastronomic Italian feast that can be enjoyed this holiday season with family and friends.
L’Opera serves lunch and dinner buffet every weekend at P1,200 nett per head, featuring classic Italian Christmas mains like Lasagna Salmon, and Cannelloni filled with cheese and spinach, as well as yuletide desserts like Panna cotta with a selection of toppings. Guests can also choose from a scrumptious ala carte or set menu on weekdays, from appetizing cold cuts and vegetable salads to savory main courses and pleasing desserts that will leave you in holiday mood for days on end.
Take home some Natale spirit through iconic delicacies as the holidays in Italy would not be complete without Pandoro, an eight-pointed star-shaped golden bread; and Pannetone, a sweet bread loaf filled with nuts and raisins symbolizing fertility for the coming year.
This season of festivity, delight your senses as we savor the food and feel the Christmas spirit of Italy only at the premier retailer’s flagship store, Rustan’s Makati.
