Giuseppes Restaurant

More than the owners’ passion for cooking and eating with family and friends, Giuseppe’s Restaurant is a husband-wife tandem of Italian-American food connoisseur and business visionary Joseph Bonavitacola and blue-blooded Taclobanon socialite Cathy Añover who opened the restaurant in October 1992 with just 6 tables thinking that they would just operate for a year since Joseph had a restaurant in Guardia Dei Lombardi, province of Avellino called Cantinella in Italy and has not thought of entrusting the operation to any kin. Unsure though, of how the market would fare to a timid city like Tacloban, they took on the challenge and later realized that it could indeed survive.
