MANILA -- A new Italian restaurant will soon open in Quezon City.

La Virgnia, located at 106 Scout Rallos in Barangay Sacred Heart, is co-owned by Heny Sison, one of the country's popular most pastry chefs.

Recently, ABS-CBN News and other members of the media were able to try the some Italian dishes from La Virginia during the media conference for Kuh Ledesma's upcoming concert.

"The concept of the restaurant comes from the southern part of Italy -- Salerno. Salerno is best for their seafoods and their lemons," chef Raymond Balota told ABS-CBN News.

The cozy restaurant can seat up to a maximum of 60 people. La Virginia's target opening is in April 2024 but is now accepting private events.

Below are some of the sumptuous dishes that were served for Kuh Ledesma's "3:16 Songs and Stories" concert  media conference.
