Il Pittore Cafe, opened last August 2016, is a European-inspired communal art cafe that hopes to be a one-stop art haven for everyone to enjoy.
This hidden gem in Maginhawa has pretty wall designs painted and drawn by the owner himself, Rey Medina. The interiors will immediately transport you to Europe!
Fun fact: Before they became a cafe, it was an art area or studio for photoshoots called "Kiaroscuro", which means light and shadow. The studio can be found on the 3rd floor of the cafe.
Upon entering the cafe, you will see an art wall mural of Pablo Picasso’s “Seated Woman”, René Magritte “The Son of Man”, Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” and Vincent Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night”.
Fun fact: "Il Pittore" means artist or painter in Italian
While waiting for your food to be served, each table has coloring pencils and an Eiffel Tower design placed on a white sheet of paper where guests can have the freedom to color and design the artwork.
Fun fact: The design of the Eiffel Tower's surroundings changes, depending on the seasons.
The 2nd floor is exclusive for dates. You may have an intimate candle lit dinner date with your special someone and reserve the area all to yourselves.
Fun fact: A meal for two costs P999, complete from appetizer to dessert.
Let’s have a closer look at their food. Il Pittore serves Italian and European dishes. They use all natural ingredients with no preservatives.
