ESTABLISHED in 2003 on world-renowned Boracay Island, Aria, the 21-year-old beachfront Italian restaurant stands the test of time with its authentic cuisine, owned by entrepreneurs Juan Elizalde and Paolo Occhionero, under the leadership of Italian executive chef Salvatore Vincentis.

Vincentis' delectable and authentic creations continue to wow people from all over the globe. No wonder his standards in the kitchen are strict, especially regarding the freshness and quality of ingredients, as some are even flown in straight from Italy so as not to compromise their delicious Italian fare.
