Stopped by here with the hubby on a rare trip to the old city to sample the panizza. We weren't disappointed. It was crispy and flavorful and went well with the bottle of overpriced New Zealand Merlot we ordered (almost 40USD for house wine?) Service was good and the ambiance we agreed was almost an "oasis" in the usual chaos... More

Don't expect anything substandard here... from the food to the staff, everything is just excellent. You will definitely enjoy dining here. I love their panizzas! I tried 4 flavors already and was never disappointed. Their salmon also tastes great, but my favorite are the panizzas. Be sure to call ahead for reservations. The prices here are a bit on the...

This is my family's favorite restaurant since it is near our house. They have good quality Italian food.....but the best is their PANIZZA. This restaurant is kinda expensive, but worth it.

This is actually my 3rd time to dine in MY KITCHEN (it was introduced to me by a good old friend) and all 3 experiences were delightful! The first time was a reunion last November 2012 with my dear old friends, we were a group of 10+. The 2nd was with my family last December 2012, a pre-Christmas lunch treat.... More

After reading all the reviews, curiosity lead me to find this place tucked in a historic place which can transport one back in time. With high expectations, we had the famous panizza as starters, followed by spaghetti puttanesca, ox tongue risotto and flank steak as the main course. For a party of five, servings were generous and we were raving... More

Probably the best Italian I had in a whole. The location is on the hidden part of manila and not much foot traffic from here. The food is probably one of the best Italian I had in a while but maybe a little expensive. The panizza is good and crispy and the seafood pasta is good as well.

You come for the panizza, but you stay for the main entrees (which i had a bit of a problem in the beginning identifying. is this french? is this spanish? is this swiss? is this german?) Chef Chris was kind enough to... More

The place is quite cozy but the location is not the easiest place to locate in Manila, however, the food is quite good. Their thin pizza roll or panizza to some is quite good. Most of their dishes uses the best ingredients so you are getting good quality food. Risotto is also quite rich and yummy. Their sausages which they... More

Having been dining here for the nth time, their panizza never disappoint me. I can't really compare this with Yellow Cab's Dear Darla, as their prices are different (My Kitchen being the more expensive between the two). All I can say is if you like Dear Darla, you will love this even more!!! In My Kitchen, there are a lot... More

A pleasant surprise in the heart of Manila! Absolutely a must try! Very thin pizza with a touch of chili oil is mouth watering. Tomato soup is hearty with a tinge of cream on top. Simply delicious!
