situated along the narrow streets of marikina, it was a long drive going to fino deli but one that is well-worth the trip. the ambiance exudes a cozy, clean and sophisticated vibe. the dining staff were quite accommodating, well-mannered and well-versed on the menu. the resto offers a wide variety of wines from different regions of the world. we got the merlot since sauvignon was not available during our visit. the sangria also packs a fruity punch and we can't help but get seconds. the food was superb. not the best in the metro but it was scrumptious and hearty not to mention, generous serving size. we got the algio olgio pasta, fino ribs, lengua estofada, salmon risotto, tomahawk porkchop. all the protein dishes were succulent and tender. risotto had a nice texture and packed with flavor. lastly, don't sleep on their pumpkin soup and mushroom soup. all in all, a great bang for the buck! will definitely come back for their cold cuts and cheese platter.
