Staying true to their Italian themes, 205 serves pizza just like their Breakfast Pizza (Php 450) that contains spinach, ricotta cheese, sausages, eggs, and tomato sauce.

Also try their Mushroom Risotto (Php 375)–the taste provides an entirely different take on the otherwise, classic Italian dish. The rice was cooked to perfection and is the ideal balance of creamy and starchy, which makes for an ideal risotto dish.
