Sarsa and Carlo's Team Up for a One-Week Filipino-Italian Mashup

Two of Makati's favorite kitchens are about to share a table.
Sarsa, the Filipino restaurant that landed a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand in the 2026 guide, is teaming up with Carlo's — the self-described friendly neighborhood spot known for pizza and pasta — for a one-week collaboration, running from July 25 to 31, 2026.
While no other details have been released, it's bound to be a cross-cultural mashup. Think Filipino comfort food meeting Italian-American classics. Plus, with Sapporo Premium Beer PH and Philippine Wine Merchants backing the event, it means the week won't be short on beer and wine to pour.
The pairing was announced with very simple and breezy posts on Instagram, matched with cute illustrations. But nothing has been revealed about the menu. For interested diners, the fun is in showing up to find out.
Sarsa, residing in Legazpi Village, was praised by the MICHELIN Guide for their laid-back aesthetic where flavor wins over fuss. Signature plates lean generous and shareable, from kinilaw to lechon manok to a turon a la mode that closes the meal on a sweet note.
Carlo's brings the other half of this collab. An American-Italian restaurant, they serve handmade pasta and a New Haven-style pizza that comforts hearts aside from filling up stomachs.
