Rediscover everyday Italian dining with refined flavors and relaxed elegance in Quezon City
Italian food has always had a special way of bringing people together. It is familiar, comforting, and deeply rooted in shared moments around the table. At Finestra, located inside Solaire Resort North, these beloved flavors are being thoughtfully reintroduced with a refreshed menu that balances everyday comfort with a polished dining experience.
Designed for both casual lunches and lingering dinners, Finestra’s newly updated offerings focus on versatility. Whether you are dining solo, meeting friends after work, or gathering family for a special meal, the restaurant’s reimagined approach to Italian classics invites guests to slow down and savor.
Italian classics designed for everyday moments
The heart of Finestra’s new menu lies in its respect for tradition paired with modern refinement. The dishes feel approachable without losing their sense of craft. Guests can expect familiar Italian staples that feel elevated but never intimidating.
From the moment you sit down, the menu encourages sharing. Plates of pasta, comforting soups, and premium cuts of meat are meant to be enjoyed together, making Finestra an ideal spot for intimate dinners or relaxed group dining.
Signature dishes worth returning for
Among the standouts is Finestra’s Lasagna, layered generously with USDA beef ragout and béchamel. It delivers exactly what comfort food should: rich flavor, satisfying texture, and a sense of familiarity that feels like home.
For those seeking something lighter, the mushroom soup offers depth without heaviness. It is a thoughtful option that still feels indulgent, perfect as a starter or a standalone dish for a quieter meal.
Meat lovers will appreciate the Australian Wagyu Carrara M9 rib eye, a hearty centerpiece that reflects the restaurant’s commitment to quality ingredients. Cooked to highlight the natural richness of the beef, it is a dish that anchors the menu for guests looking for something substantial.
New additions that bring variety to the table
Under the leadership of Chef De Cuisine Joel Manchia, Finestra’s culinary team introduces fresh additions that broaden the menu while staying true to Italian roots.
The artisanal orecchiette with king prawns and broccoli is a notable highlight. The pasta’s texture pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the prawns, creating a dish that feels both comforting and refined.
Another welcome addition is the aubergine parmigiana, layered with confit garlic and semi-dried tomatoes. It is a flavorful option that works well for solo diners or as a shared plate, offering a satisfying alternative for those leaning toward vegetable-forward dishes.
A bar menu made for lingering evenings
As the day transitions into night, Finestra’s expanded bar menu adds another reason to stay a little longer. Light bites and curated platters are designed to pair effortlessly with the restaurant’s refreshed cocktail selection.
The bar program blends familiar favorites with modern interpretations. Guests looking for something easy and refreshing can try the Spritz al Cacao, while those who prefer classic profiles will appreciate options like the Il Bianco and Garibaldi al Pompelmo.
What elevates the experience further is the setting. With views of the Sierra Madre mountain range framing the Quezon City skyline, the bar becomes a relaxed space to unwind, whether you are catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet drink at the end of the day.
