Trattoria da Gianni
About
Trattoria da Gianni is a family-run Italian trattoria at The Crossroads in Banilad, started by Gianni and Franca Guidicelli, who came to Cebu from Italy in 1990 and flew in their own Italian products. Start with steamed mussels, gamberi al aglio or a set of three bruschette, then go to rigatoni alla vodka, tagliatelle with chorizo de Cebu, truffle ravioli or nonna's ragù. Pizzas run from margherita to truffle quattro formaggi, secondi include osso buco, cotoletta di pollo and U.S. prime rib, and dessert is panna cotta or a chocolate truffle zabaglione.
