After seeing the food that we serve at Tazzina and the comments from our customers, you might be wondering about how to get to our place so that you can finally get a taste of our food. You might also be asking what else is there to look forward to, other than the food itself. So here's a rundown of what makes Tazzina a cool place to hang out with your friends!

1. It's accesible to both the North and South people.

There are times when you want to chill with your friends and you can't decide where to go. South people will probably point to the Alabang, Makati or Taguig area, while the North people will point to Timog, Tomas Morato or Katipunan. The next time you and your friends get into the dilemma of where to hang out, why not suggest Tazzina? The place is convenient for both the North and South people 'cause it's just a walking distance from LRT2's Gilmore station, meaning all you need to do is ride an LRT2 train. And since LRT2 is connected to both LRT1 and LRT3 lines, it's quick, safe and convenient for everyone!

2. Good food

Tazzina takes pride in offering good, quality food for everyone. The meals are far from the usual fastfood and they taste even better! They're prepared right after you order, so you're assured that the food is served hot and fresh just for you.

3. It's perfect for the student budget

Aside from serving delicious meals, Tazzina also makes sure that the food is inexpensive without sacrificing the quality of the food. Since we're just across a university, the meals come in student budget and they can also be shared among groups. No need to worry on burning a hole in your wallet - you'll surely get something great and satisfying for a hundred pesos.

4. Chill ambiance

Tazzina's staff is friendly and approachable, as loyal patrons become good acquaintances. We have a bulletin board where you can leave notes and photos of yourselves, a nice way to celebrate your visit. Bonus: Visit us on a UAAP game day and catch your team playing on TV - who knows, we might be cheering for the same team. ;)

Comments on our bestsellers and some of our other meals:

"One of my ultimate favorites is their creamy carbonara! I'm a pasta lover and I've pretty much tasted all the pasta meals in different places. But this one goes to my top 5 list - it's affordable and it's yummy, filled with lots of cream and bacon bits. What more can you ask for?" - Dianne, Taft

"I like their pesto pasta. It's heavy on the pesto, unlike some restaurants or cafes that barely put some pesto and yet call it pesto pasta. This one's good and they hit the right note." - Eli, Katipunan

"Their chicken cordon bleu rocks! The serving's good, considering the inexpensive price. It's filled with chicken, ham and cheese and unlike some cordon bleus that I've tasted, it's filled right to the core. Some are lacking in taste but this one's very tasty." - Cody, Makati

"Their BLT sandwich is healthy and delicious! A little side serving of chips doesn't hurt too. ;)" - Patty, QC

"The grilled cheese sandwich is a must-try. Yes, it's just cheese - but boy, it's filled with lots and lots of cheese! The quesadilla also tastes great. It's not flat and lacking in the toppings department: it's oozing with cheese, slices of chicken, bacon bits and a good amount of onion and tomato. " - Camille, Taft

"I don't normally drink beverages that have caffeine in it, but I gotta say that Tazzina's frozen coffee beverages turned me into a latte and frappuccino lover!" - Mara, QC

"I don't usually visit Tazzina 'cause it's far from my place but when I do get to eat there, I make sure to order their green apple slush. It's different from the usual juices and shakes out there." - Mico, Pasig

And now let's here it from our customers from different places in Manila!

"My friends and I go to Tazzina even if we come all the way from Taft because their food is worth it. We don't mind the jammed LRT train ride and even the heat from commuting, as long as we get to eat there. Thumbs up for their yummy food and good amount of servings for a cheap price!" - Alexie, Taft

"I get to visit Tazzina when my friends from St.Paul QC would invite me over. We'd spend lots of kodak moments and kwentuhans; it's perfect place to hang out in the QC area." - Kimi, Caloocan

"My girlfriend and I are regular customers of Tazzina. She lives near the Gilmore area, so we usually eat there before I drop her home. I wish they'd venture out to South though, so I wouldn't have to go all the way there to eat their chicken cordon bleu!" - AJ, Alabang

"I have a computer business, so I'm usually out to Gilmore checking out computer parts and other computer-related parts. Tazzina is a very convenient place to eat at, since it's housed with all the other computer stores in Gilmore." - Jay, Makati

"My family owns a business in QC and we visit the store at least twice a month. One of my friends, who lives in QC, told me all about Tazzina. She was raving about it, so I recommended it to my family one random lunch visit to our store. Definitely worth going to!" - Angel, Binondo

Tazzina also serves great snacks, which are perfect if you want something light and yummy. Despite having a lot of choices to pick from, you need not worry on having the dilemma of which snack to order - you can split a sandwich, some nachos and maybe even some quesadillas with a friend. They come in a student budget price, going from 30 pesos (grilled cheese sandwich) to 65 pesos (kani wrap).

Quesadillas

Best selling snacks: kani wrap and soft taco!

A Filipino's typical definition of a good meal is a plate complete with white, steaming rice topped with a nice amount of viand. Oftentimes, we find ourselves having a hard time deciding which viand to pick, when we want something that's new yet we also want something that's familiar to our taste.

When you want that kind of meal, head over to Tazzina and check out their different rice meals ranging from 55 to 75 pesos! With choices like beef stroganoff and chicken cordon bleu, you're sure to hit the right spot.
