Great authentic Italian restaurant. Our group of 5 shared several salads, pasta and pizza and all of them were delicious. Our favourites were the Italian Carbonara (must try!) and the Gnocchi with trufels (amazingly fluffy Gnocchi, totally different from the rubbery things you get at other pmaces). Owner was very friendly and personable. This is our new favourite place in the area!

Massimos is the place to go in Batangas City if you’re looking for pizza. We tried the vegetarian pizza and truffle fries. The pizza was tasty, well-baked, and a good size. However, the truffle fries were not very exciting. The portion was quite small for the price, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, the pizza makes it worth a visit, but the sides could use some improvement.

Slowly becoming my favorite restaurant in Batangas Loved their truffle pasta! Waitress suggested to try their homemade pasta, I agreed. The additional 30 pesos was definitely worth it. I will definitely come back to try other dishes.

It’s not our first time at this restaurant, we always come back but somehow keep forgetting to leave a review. The food tastes like authentic Italian, and you won’t find anything else like this around Batangas City. This place is truly a gem! We usually go for our favorites, the burrata pasta and gnocchi, but today we tried something different from the menu - the ravioli pasta and cheese omelette and they were so good!
