Swissôtel Clark opens 10th dining outlet serving authentic Italian cuisine
PAMPANGA, Philippines — In pursuit of vitality and Swiss hospitality, Swissôtel Clark opens its 10th restaurant that will serve authentic Italian fare using contemporary and modern culinary techniques.
Inspired by the province of Verona in Italy, which is known to be the setting of the classic romantic novel "Romeo & Juliet," Ristorante di Verona is set to welcome guests and customers on July 7.
Situated on the fifth floor of Swissôtel Clark, Ristorante di Verona offers guests a new concept of indoor and alternative al fresco dining, overlooking the mountainous and natural view of the Zambales Mountain Ranges.
“We are overwhelmed by the continuous support that our guests and customers showed since the hotel's soft opening last March 1. We are fascinated with the warm acceptance of the #SwissHospitality and #SwissTastes concepts from us," Tarek Aouini, general manager of Swissôtel Clark, said.
"After three months of soft operation and as we continue to offer unique dining experiences for our guests, we are hoping for your continuous support as we open our 10th dining outlet in the newest vibrant destination within Clark—Ristorante di Verona," he added.
While Swissôtel Clark opens yet another restaurant, it promises to deliver a range of culinary concepts that the guests will surely love. The opening of Ristorante di Verona marks another milestone, being the newest Italian fun-dining restaurant in Clark Freeport Zone.

Be charmed by the dash of the creative nature of the interiors, starting from the atmospheric windows and wall installations, spacious halls, private dining rooms, up to the contemporary architecture of the ceiling that takes customers back to the timeless aesthetics of Italy.

Allow your palate to travel in different places of Italy with Ristorante di Verona’s very own Balsamic Reduction that is suitable for the most special occasions, to top off their Italian bread with a light and fragrant touch. Ristorante di Verona houses a 25-year-old Balsamic Vinegar of Modena used mainly as an ingredient for reductions, following all the rules of a century-old tradition.
To close out the decadent Italian meal, Ristorante di Verona offers selections of Digestivo, including Italian Herbal liqueur, a perfect after-meal digestif and more than 10 types of Grappas, a zero-waste wine-making process.
Heading Ristorante di Verona is an internationally renowned chef Alessio Loddo, hailing from Sardinia, Italy. Starting his experience from the free-standing restaurants in Italy, he ventured into international regions as early as the 2000s in Dubai and has opened multiple Italian Restaurants in 5-star hotels all over the world, including BiCE Ristorante of Hilton Dubai Jumeirah, Le Meridian Phuket Beach Resort and La Gritta Restaurant in Bangkok.
He was also in charge of quite a few Italian restaurants located here in the Philippines, including Tosca Italian Restaurant of Dusit Thani Hotel Manila, Waterfront Cebu City, Crimson Hotel Filinvest City Alabang and Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay before joining Swissôtel Clark.
