00:00Probably five years old now, I consider it a fresh and faithful Italian restaurant.

00:05Whereas we are anchored by tradition of Italy,

00:09we try to find tiny tweaks to still make it the best version of it.

00:14It's actually an ever-evolving thing for us that we keep trying to make our own best version

00:19or what we consider our version of a traditional dish.

00:23After Amano, we opened Ramen Ron,

00:26which is a—actually, it used to be Ukokei Ramen Ron, which is a restaurant in Pasay Road.

00:31They had this really famous Tantan man, and he was considered sort of the pioneer of ramen here in the country.

00:37During the pandemic, he wanted to go back to Japan.

00:40We actually just tried to really convince him that home was still here for him.

00:45And what was so nice is that he trusted us with his brand to not change the things that mattered to him,

00:51but also to bring it to a next level.

00:53Steak and fries is not your traditional steakhouse.

00:56We serve steak with French fries, but also with steak rice,

01:01because as we all know, we're here in the Philippines, and everything's just better with rice.

01:07We opened it in December of last year, and it's been doing quite well, and I'm proud of it.
