Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino’s Italian restaurant has made its mark on the city with its fresh interiors, friendly service and unpretentiously authentic Italian dishes. La Gondola has succeeded in making pizza trendy with its famed easy-to-eat bite sized Pizza Romana, a thin-crust pizza with capers, anchovy, tomato, mozzarella and oregano, served piping hot from a wood-fired oven.
Now, La Gondola creates another stir in the city with its Sunday Brunch Buffet, which offers Cebuano diners an Italian way to enjoy Sundays. With a wide variety of homemade pastas, cold cuts, cheeses and pizzas, the Sunday Brunch Buffet allows families and friends a gathering place for high spirited conversation over good food. The buffet includes several action stations which feature crepes, a Caesar salad, a porchetta carving, and pizzas. Capping off the gastronomic array of dishes are the pastries with the gelato station as its main highlight.
La Gondola offers fresh interiors with rustic ivory stone walls and pillars, and a beautiful picture of gondolas on one wall that are accented by deep blue neo-classical curtains, effortlessly achieving a distinctly stylish elegance. Functionality comes into play in the luxurious bar with an espresso machine that greets diners as they enter the restaurant, as well as the glass windows that offer guests a view of the chefs at work in their culinary playground. During the day, sunlight coming in through large glass windows illuminates the restaurant with a cheery glow. Aside from tables under off-white awnings along the Gourmet Walk, which is reminiscent of being in a cobblestone walk in Europe and perfect for people-watching, is a much larger casual al fresco dining area that can seat 40.
