Italianni’s but make it Tuesday: Why the ‘All Day, All Yours’ deal works

By LAI S. REYES, The Philippine STAR Published May 30, 2026 5:00 am

For the longest time, Italianni’s has lived in many Filipinos’ minds as the restaurant equivalent of “May okasyon ba?” You don’t just casually wander into the resto on a random Tuesday—or at least that was the perception. It was the place for birthdays with the family, graduation dinners where uncles insisted on ordering “for sharing,” or those moments when you were mentally prepared to glance at the bill and say, “Sige na nga, minsan lang naman.”

The plot twist

After all, everything about Italianni’s felt larger than life: big servings, endless baskets of bread, big booths, and even bigger group orders. Great for celebrations, yes, but not exactly the first place people would think of for an everyday meal.

Soup, mains, and a fizzy finish: All in one well-balanced P385++ meal

Which is why the restaurant’s “All Yours, All Day” for only P385 promo feels a little like a plot twist. Suddenly, the once “special occasion” Italian resto is offering a complete meal—your choice of starter, entree, and drink—for prices that make spontaneous lunch plans feel far less intimidating.

It’s the kind of deal that quietly changes your entire perception of a restaurant you thought you already knew.

And maybe that’s the biggest surprise here: Italianni’s isn’t just for milestone dinners anymore. Sometimes, it’s just for when you’re craving pasta on a Wednesday and don’t feel like waiting until your next payday or birthday to justify it.

Out of the brick oven comes a pizza baked the traditional way — hot, bubbling, and perfectly charred at the edges.

Main character meal energy

Now in its fourth season, the promo works just as well for solo diners as it does for groups of friends or families looking for an easy, satisfying meal. Even those rushing between errands or meetings will appreciate how quickly the dishes arrive at the table. Prices are fairly reasonable, too, with some combo meals coming in under P500, inclusive of drinks and Italianni’s complimentary bread. The offering keeps casual dining approachable without stripping away the hearty Italian-American flavors the restaurant is known for.

An easy kind of comfort: Salad, Chicken Parmigiana and a cold drink

Starting at P385, diners can build a complete meal by choosing an appetizer, entrée and drink—with portions substantial enough to feel like an actual sit-down meal rather than a rushed combo.

Appetizer options include the Side Caesar Salad, Pepperoni Pizzetta, and Carrot Soup, while those willing to spend a little extra can opt for the Chicken Fingers & Chips with honey mustard.

When Italian-American meets Filipino comfort food: Italianni’s Pork Adobo Rice

For mains, choices range from comfort food staples like Pork Adobo Rice and Grilled Porkloin to the richer Chicken Parmigiana and Seafood Vegetables & Rice.

For when your coffee order decides to become dessert: Italianni’s Double-Espresso cake

Meals come with either a House Blend Iced Tea or, for an additional P90, the Blushing Fizzy Tea. Diners can also cap things off with dessert add-ons like an Affogato or Double Espresso.

A light start of Side Caesar Salad, seafood vegetables and iced tea: A refreshing take on a complete meal

My go-to combo is the Side Caesar Salad, Chicken Parmigiana, and House Blend Iced Tea. The chicken portion is generous enough to carry you through to dinner.

Maybe that’s the real shift here. Italianni’s hasn’t changed what it is—big, generous, unapologetically comforting—but it has changed when you can have it. What used to wait for birthdays and big tables now fits neatly into an ordinary day. And sometimes, that’s the best kind of upgrade.
