Cafe Antonio - Los Baños

The restaurant offers delicious food at reasonable prices. The pasta is on the sweeter side, typical of non-Filipino styles. I particularly enjoyed the Vigan longganisa, pesto pasta, and mozzarella sticks. Parking is somewhat limited, but the location is easily accessible from the highway. The ambiance is cozy, with designated open areas for smoking and indoor tables for non-smokers.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, especially considering its small size, although it could benefit from some interior decoration. Overall, the food is reasonably priced. It was my family's first time dining here, and unfortunately, I was disappointed with my meal. I'm not sure if it was just a bad day, but the carbonara I ordered was quite disappointing. The pasta was overcooked, and the cream in the sauce seemed to be curdling. It gave the impression that the dish had simply been reheated in a microwave, as the inside was piping hot. I took a few bites, but it just didn’t look appetizing, and the taste was unappealing. On a positive note, the salads were decent and the coffee was delightful. I plan to give this restaurant another try in the future, hoping for a better experience.

Some of the dishes are decent, but I didn't find most of them enjoyable. It feels like something is lacking; they could use more flavor, particularly the pasta dishes. However, I did really enjoy the soy garlic chicken – that has been the standout for me so far.

We went there to taste their lengua. We were not disappointed. It was delicious, and the meat was tender. We had a hard time looking for the place for a while because it changed it's name from Arla to Cafe Antonio, so Google was confused and kept taking us to different places. Thankfully, we got hold of their contact number and called to ask for directions. The man on the other end of the phone gave us excellent directions and even connected us to the kitchen so we could pre-order. Unfortunately, when we arrived, their aircon was not working so we decided to sit in the garden. Service was a bit slow, they only had one wait staff. But the wait was worth it.

I like the homey feel of this resto. Food is great and serving is more than your regular Manila serving. Quite pricey considering the location but over all it's worth a try. : Personal favorite is Anchovies Pasta. Could improve on coffee.
