The wait is over. El Viento, Cebu’s favorite al fresco poolside Italian restaurant re-opens its doors to the dining public.
Long admired for home-style, classic Italian cuisine since 2006, El Viento was not spared by the wrath of Typhoon Odette last December. Back from a six-month hiatus, Marco Polo Plaza Cebu is excited to welcome patrons anew to El Viento.

Wine pairing with wines from D+B Wine Shop
At the restaurant’s relaunch last month, members of the media were treated to a fresh new take on their well-loved Italian specialties and several new additions to the menu, paired with choice wines from D+B Wine Shop.
“It is my great pleasure to re-open the doors of El Viento,” says the hotel’s General Manager Roel Constantino, “A testimony to the Marco Polo team’s dedication and unrelenting efforts to rebuild one of Cebu’s culinary landmarks.”

Nestled atop Nivel Hill, the restaurant enjoys a prime location at the poolside of Marco Polo, a cool place to unwind at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level. Relax al fresco amid the sound of waterfalls, the sight of lush tropical gardens and city views, and the feel of the cool mountain breeze.
The restaurant is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Reservations are recommended. Call 0919 083 6768 or send an email.
