The Piazza at Venice, located at McKinley Hills in Taguig, is home to new outlets of well-known dining destinations like Little Asia, Stackers, cafes like Figaro and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, as well as new dessert spot, Sol Gelato and soon-to-open restos such as My Thai, Red Crab and Harry's by L' Opera. The Piazza at Venice opened in mid-October of 2009 and the complex echoes the rich architecture of the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas and Macau.

The Piazza's first patrons include yuppies from neighboring office buildings and culinary students honing their skills at Enderun College. With its sprawling layout and variety of foodie destinations, The Piazza is poised to be a great alternative to the usual dining and recreation spots in Manila.

Kuse

From the same group that brought us restaurants like Old Vine, Chef's Quarter and Uncle Cheffy's, Kuse is the new project of restaurateurs Mau Arjona and Larry Cortez. Unlike their first restaurants where they mainly served Continental dishes, Kuse's menu highlights dishes that may be described as "lutong bahay." Arjona and Cortez are adamant about serving affordable Pinoy food in large servings and bestsellers are all under P300: Sinugba Pork Liempo (P295), with tender beef chunks marinated in soy sauce, tomato sauce and pickles braised and cooked twice; Pork Sisig (P295) cooked the Kapampangan way and Sinigang na Bangus sa Bayabas (P295), cooked with fresh guava and sampaloc.
