Italianni’s, the first restaurant of the Bistro Group in Bacolod City, opened its 27th branch at the ground level, North Wing Expansion of SM City-Bacolod Saturday.
The popular restaurant chain, which is known for its great American-Italian food, opened its maiden branch 27 years ago in Greenbelt and its appeal continues to endure, making it one of the country’s well-loved dinning places.
Founded in 1994, The Bistro Group is one of the Philippines’ most progressive restaurant chains that popularized the casual dining concept with the entry of TGIFriday’s in the country over 25 years ago.
Its success led to the launch of other reputable, world-class brands such as Denny’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Texas Roadhouse, and Hard Rock Café, among others, as well as Asian concepts like Watami, Modern Shanghai, Bulgogi Brothers, and Fish & Co.*
