Aventino’s is just one of the handful of Siargao food spots that offer freshly baked pizza, but it’s got an edge when it comes to dishing out Italian fare at affordable prices. Thin-crust pies start at P135 and the thick-crust ones start at P215. But their house specialty, a triple-layered pizza called Tricia is sold at P345-a price that’s totally worth the variety of toppings per layer.

And since we’re on subject of pizzas, Kermit Siargao’s oven baked goodness was once described by Conde Nast traveler as “what might be the best pizza and fresh made pasta in the country”. A whole pizza starts at P250, then you can just add various toppings (P30-P50) to suit your liking. Don’t forget to look at the specials board and treat yourself to dishes like Gianni’s Ravioli, which a plate of home-made ravioli stuffed with camote tops, ricotta,and prawns. For dessert, the tempting chocolate lava cake served with vanilla ice cream is a must.

Party with the locals in SIARGAO by hanging out at Barrel Bar. A must try is the Jack Daniel’s Beef Burger, your favorite comfort snack with a pretty that’s glazed with Jack Daniel’s barbeque sauce. In case you are nursing a hangover from downing Barrel Bar’s signature drinks all night, you can order a Breakfast plate (P150) anytime. We highly recommend the homemade spicy charizo served with egg, rice, and their Famous garlic sauce.

As its name suggests, La Carinderia gives Filipino food with an Italian twist. Some of their specialties are the Sizzling Spicy Tuna, Mahi Mahi Carpaccio(mahi mahi is a common dolphinfish), Guazzetto di Pesce(slow cooked mixed seafood hotpot), and Grigliata Mista di Pesce(grilled fish with garlic, and calamansi sauce). Most of their menu items feature fish, which is something you’d expect if you’re on an island that has an abundant supply of fresh seafood.
