Casa Italia’s famous gelato and coffee now in Manila
On December 5, Singapore’s biggest Italian cafe chain Casa Italia set foot in the Philippines and opened its doors to the public in the heart of Bonifacio Global City. Last Thursday (December 10), it celebrated its grand launch from 4 PM to 8 PM by serving its first 1,000 customers its famous gelato and coffee for a price of 8 Php! On the same day, its gelato’s price then went to a discounted rate of 88 Php after the 1,000th scoop.
Located at Forbestown Road, Burgos Park, Casa Italia offers a wide selection of its handcrafted, premium, authentic Italian gelato featuring over 40 all-natural flavors such as Dark Truffle, Mango, Durian, Classic Vanilla, Pistachio, liquor-infused creations, and other fruit sorbets. These flavors were produced from quality imported ingredients. It even sources its vanilla from Madagascar and pistachios from Sicily in Italy.
You’ll definitely love the comforting gelato experience in this place! A piccolo (1 scoop) costs 130 Php. A medio (2 scoops) costs 195 Php. And a grande (3 scoops) costs 260 Php. Gelatos with a booze of Limoncello, Sambuca or Baileys are priced at 195 Php (single) and 245 Php (double).
Not only does Casa Italia (in English, Italian house) boast of its popular gelato treats, the Italian bar also offers its signature coffee blend Otto derived from roasted 100% Arabica beans. Otto, in Italian, means eight which serves as Casa Italia’s principle in making the Otto blend. How? It uses Arabica beans that are only eight (8) weeks old or less from roasting to guarantee its freshness and pleasant aroma.
