Crisostomo Restaurant - Santa Cruz

My family enjoys delicious and uncomplicated Filipino cuisine. We decided to give Crisostomos a try for the first time. The Salmon belly Sinigang and Kare Kare Kura (ox tail) were delicious, but the Pork Sisig was burnt and took a long time to process the bill. They did not follow all safety protocols for COVID, so overall the experience was just average.

Availed discounted promo to avail meals in this resto several times and never reduced its serving portion. some twist in the commonly known filipino recipes that we really enjoyed. although some foods began to taste a little bit saltier in which they should consider to...make it perfect.

The food at this restaurant was either too salty or bland. The Lengua meat sinigang na baboy was not tender at all. We will not be returning.

My family and I visited Crisostomo in Nuvali and were disappointed to find that the service, ambiance, and food were not as good as the Crisostomo in Macapagal Street. We tried the overrated Paella Negra, laing with Lechon kawali, but the laing lacked Gata and the Tinapa ni tiburcio was very salty. Overall, it was not worth returning to.

If you want to eat Filipino in a classic and elegant way, go to Crisostomo's. All food servers and crew are dressed in Filipino costumes during the Spanish era. Try their tasty dishes creatively named after the character in Rizals Romans. feel like a real diner in the time of the Ilustrados.
