Amore al Primo Morso at Il Primo: An Italian Love Story Through Food
At Il Primo, Valentine's Day is transformed into an Italian love story with Amore al Primo Morso, meaning "love at first bite."

Next, guests will indulge in a handcrafted pasta course of homemade beetroot Sardinian culurgiones, showcasing Italian culinary artistry. The main course features a robust Black Angus Beef Tenderloin, and the evening ends with a delicate Cherry Semifreddo dessert, symbolizing balance and sweetness. An optional wine pairing is available for P1,000++ per person.
