LA VITA ITALIA does not stop as Marco Polo Ortigas Manila’s restaurants and bars continue to celebrate the country with special treats this September. Guest chef Pasqualino Barbasso’s special gourmet pizzas are available exclusively in house from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Italian confections are also available for a post-meal dessert, an afternoon break, or just-because. Café Pronto is serving Panforte and Tiramisu to keep the day sweeter until Sept. 18. A Tiramisu smoothie is also available until the end of September. Connect Lounge serves Verde Chiaro Sour and Dolce Cassis until Sept. 15 while Vu’s Sky Bar and Lounge offers classic Italian cocktails, such as a special house-blend Limoncello and barrel-aged Negroni. Both drinks can be enjoyed with the second round on the house for the whole month of September.
