Cuore: Dishing Out Hearty Italian Cuisine

Dessert

Dolce Maria (Php 330)

Cuore’s best-seller is definitely an eye candy. A tower of doughy churros is drizzled with salted caramel and topped with vanilla ice cream. A perfect ending to all those carbs.

The face of longing.

Deep Lover (Php 210)

Now if you’re still in denial of the hefty proportions of their servings, and how easy it was to wolf everything down, you can settle for a less sinful conclusion to your meal. An espresso-muscovado panna cotta is a coffee lover’s dream. The flan is just the right consistency with a hint of sweetness and the aromatic flavor of the coffee that isn’t at all overpowering. Go all out and pair it with a cup of Joe. They serve fresh Danesi coffee, as well.

After Hours

As I’ve mentioned, Cuore is the ideal venue for a steady night out with the girls. Subtle music welcomes meaningful conversations. The atmosphere is classy and relaxed – a far cry from the overcrowded watering holes and clubs of Makati and BGC that seem to be the hunting grounds of predatory boy barkadas nowadays.

California Girl (Php 250)

A part of their signature cocktails roster, this is a simple yet effective combination of vodka, cranberry juice and sour mix.

Elegant Mojito (Php 180)

Refreshing and just the right amount of tang, this is my best bet for a lazy afternoon of day drinking.

The Best Sangria (Php 280/ Php 780)

The size is both inviting and intimidating. One of these and you’re pretty good social drinking for the next hour since it kicks in pretty well after a few sips.

Cuore may be outfitted as a sophisticated speakeasy but it is also inviting enough for a weekend brunch with the family. The walls are a cool hue and the interiors are carefully thought out. The drinks are good for any time of the day and the food hits all the right buttons. So, once you’re traversing the Makati area, pass by Jupiter Street and let the metal heart guide you in.
