Why go
Finestra is worth booking for a polished contemporary Italian dinner when the occasion calls for wine, service, a formal resort setting. Go for the range: degustation, handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, premium steaks, table-prepared tiramisu all make sense here. Dinner is the sharper choice for food-focused travelers; Sunday Brunchissimo is better for a social group meal.
About Finestra
Finestra in Manila is a choice for diners who want Contemporary Italian Fine Dining rather than a casual Italian meal. The basics point to a dinner setting led by Chef Andrea Spagoni, with dinner served nightly and a separate Sunday brunch service.
The kitchen’s draws are the dishes specifically associated with Finestra: whisky-aged tomahawk, Finestra Pensiero degustation, Milanese, wood-fired pizzas, table-prepared tiramisu. That range makes it a useful booking for diners who want Italian fine dining with several clearly identified signatures.
Modern Italian with range for both fine-dining and sharing

The room works well when you want a planned occasion
Finestra works best as a planned fine-dining meal in Manila, not as an improvised casual stop. Dinner runs Monday through Sunday from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM, which makes it the main service to book for a full evening around the restaurant’s Contemporary Italian Fine Dining format.
Sunday Brunchissimo changes the decision. Dinner is the better call if you want the restaurant’s evening fine-dining rhythm, while Sunday brunch, served from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, gives diners a separate daytime option. The dress code is smart casual, so plan accordingly.
Who should book, who should skip it
Book if the brief is Contemporary Italian Fine Dining in Manila from Chef Andrea Spagoni, with a $75 per person price point and signature dishes such as whisky-aged tomahawk, Finestra Pensiero degustation, Milanese, wood-fired pizzas, table-prepared tiramisu. It is especially sensible for diners who want a more formal Italian meal rather than a quick, casual bite.
Skip it if the goal is a loose neighborhood-style Italian meal or a low-commitment stop between plans. Finestra is better matched to diners who are intentionally choosing a fine-dining format, smart casual dress, a meal built around its signature dishes.
