My first dinner in the island of Puerto Galera was a taste of Pizzeria Ristorante Ciao Italia. As I said it on my previous post, it was more than satisfying. When it seemed like I could not have enough of pizzas and pastas, I was again on my way for another authentic Italian dinner to Luca Cucina Italiana at Talipanan, Puerto Galera.
The restaurant is quite secluded because one must take a 5 minute walk from the road going to the beach shore and finally to the restaurant situated at the foot of a hill. Luca Cucina Italiana is a popular Italian restaurant in Puerto Galera owned by a person named Luca. Even people from Manila know it and would not skip going and dining there. Same with Ciao Italia, this restaurant also uses native materials. You have to eat to really taste and feel Italy, because honestly speaking, the only thing that is truly Italian is the food and how it’s prepared (using fresh ingredients cooked slowly and with heart).

We ordered for Pizza Luca, the restaurant’s specialty made with fresh tomatoes, ham, salami, mushroom and onion rings. The second pizza variant is a Seafood Pizza consisting of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, tuna, shrimp, clam and calamari. Our pasta orders were Pasta Marinara (red sauce and seafoods) and Spaghetti ala Putanesca (olive oil, garlic, bell pepper, capers, fresh tomatoes, chili and oregano).

Although you can taste the characteristics of Italian food and the portion serving is really generous, I thought my taste had no distinction of the two pizzas and that the pastas fell short of the level of being perfectly ‘al dente’ in comparison with the pastas I had with Ciao Italia.

But nevertheless, I went home with a full stomach and enjoyed another authentic Italian dinner for the second night.
