"Beautiful scenic view of Cebu City over the mountains. Friendly and accommodating crew with all smiles to greet you. The place is clean and quiet. Parking is somehow just a little bit of the need for steering wheel maneuvering due to the parking size (space). We had an amazing meal. We had their Rissoto Con Ossobuco, and Penne Boscaiola, which I highly recommended for new customers to try. We also had two of their pizzas, the Quattro Formaggi, and Atomica. I don't recommend these pizzas due to their dough. It's like eating biscuits with pizza toppings. Nevertheless, the ambiance and other non-pizza dishes are authentically Italian. We will surely be back but not for pizza"

"The service is excellent. The staff is so accomodating. Price is so affordable and the food is better than the 5-star resort and spa in mactan. The grilled salmon is so big for its price. I love the spaghetti alla pescatora frutti de mare in olive oil. The overlooking view of the city is priceless. You can take the motorbike for hire known as "habal-habal" in jy square to la tegola busay for only Php 75.00"

"Such a nice place with a beautiful view! The pizza is really good — crisp, flavorful, and freshly made. I also loved the bussuco, so rich and tasty. Their mango shake is refreshing and perfectly sweet. Great food, nice people, and a relaxing spot to enjoy a meal. Definitely worth a visit!"

"I don’t know if it’s just me but La Tegola has had a bad rep over the years for the quality or taste of their food declining. However, we decided to give this branch a shot since it had a nice, romantic view anyway. Needless to say, I really enjoyed our experience! The food was surprisingly very fresh and the taste was very Italian. It reminded me of my old favorite restaurant Idea Italia, which closed down long ago. The food was superb and the ambiance was great since it was just my boyfriend and I in the restaurant. Staff is also super friendly and they accept credit card payments unlike most restaurants in Busay."
