Just look for the perfectly designed spoon and fork logo you’ll know you’ve arrived. They have parking space just in front of the restaurant and diners (I believe) may also park on the side of Sct. Rallos St. since Abbiocco’s spot is right at the corner.

Food
We started our banquet with the Fried shrimp in salted egg sauce (P388). A lightly coated fried shrimps in special salted egg and mango salsa.
If salads are your thing, try their Abbiocco’s Ensalada ala Anton (P348) ! Here, you’ll get a serving of romaine and iceberg lettuce, smoked bacons bits biscocho, sundried local tomatoes, parmesan cheese and Abbioco’s very own salad dressing. Every ingredient tasted really fresh and each had various textures, which made it more enjoyable to eat.
If sandwich is your thing, try their Abbiocco’s Decker Sandwich (P358), it’s a great appetizer! Here, you’ll get a whole wheat bread with roasted chicken breast, scrambled native eggs, smoked bacon, lechon kawali flakes, cucumber, lettuce and tomatoes with calamansi and garlic mayonnaise. The ingredient tasted fresh, which made it more enjoyable to eat.
For a beef lover like me, you must try Abbiocco’s 6 hours Oven Braised Lamb Shank (P1888) which is served with Abbiocco rice and side vegetables. I guess this one is my favorites among the other dishes that we have tried. The dish comes off as tender, flavorful and juicy.
Here’s another beef cuisine, Bulalo ng Batangas (P648) It’s a filipino beef shank soup of clear broth with fresh cabbage, bok choy , sweet corn, beans and potatoes.
They also served Beef ribs caldereta with spanish chorizo (P628), it’s a braised beef short ribs stewed in tomato sauce vegetabes and aromatic spices.
The 4th beef cuisine they served is Callos ala Abbiocco (P598). It’s a Filipino’s favorite stew for Noche Buena with Spanish origin, consisting of beef tripe, ox feet, bell pepper white kidney beans and beef chorizo.
A trip at Abbiocco is not complete without tasting their Spicy Filipino Crab (1,198) . It’s an Abbiocco version of chili crab with local spices and chili paste.
Another outstanding dishes in Abbiocco is BBQ back ribs (P698). It’s a slow-cooked tender and lean pork ribs marinated in local lime, soy sauce, and honey served with garlic.Upon tasting it, I can say that it was juicy and flavorful.
Aside from the Pork, we also savor for George’s oven-baked parmesan (P458) , an oven-baked chicken breast topped with fresh tomato sauce, parmesan cheese and mozzarella, served with pesto pasta and side vegetables.
If you’re craving for a Pasta and Bihon, check out their Pansit Bihon Con Bagnet (P558). It’s a bihon noodles mixed with baby shrimps, chicken breast, chicken liver and vegetables topped with lechon kawali slices
If veggies are your thing just like me, try their Pinakbet Con Lechon Kawali (P238) which si composed of stir-fried chicken strips, baby shrimps, tofu, bell pepper, cabbage, celery, mushrooms, snow peas, young corn, bok choy and carrots.
For the rice variations, we had their best-seller which is Paella Valenciana (P888). It’s around and long grain rice with sofrito, grilled chorizo, prawns, squid, mussels, chicken, and eggs.
For the dessert, we had leche flan. This is my favorite Filipino traditional dessert. I’m so glad they’ve one here.
For the drinks, they offered cocktails for us which is a good deal for the people who wanna chill out after a stressful day of work. There is a various selection of drinks so I am sure that you will not be disappointed.
Overall, Abbiocco did give us a amazing treat with their delectable dishes during our visit. The price points here are definitely on the high side, but it is worth every penny.
I love abbiocco’s cuisine
