It’s celebration time at Marco Polo Plaza Cebu as it marks 765 years in the hospitality scene! An all-Italian gastronomic spread was on view to feast our senses and fill our bellies! With venue at the invigorating El Viento restaurant and Pool Bar, “La Dolce Vita” was launched.
With the collaboration of the hotel’s culinary team, Italian guest chefs Giuseppe Genco and Luca Genco showed the assemblage what Sicilian comfort food was all about: Spinach Ravioli, Rigatoni Pasta, Penne Pesto Genovese, Farfalle Seafood Pasta etc. Also popular were the handmade and wood-fired cooked pizzas and delectable Italian sausages, paired with select Italian wines!
We salute the Genco chefs for a foodfest well-crafted!
