Our Story
Fr Gianluigi Colombo, a Salesian Italian priest in charge of overseeing the operations of the Don Bosco Printing Press, was given permission by Don Bosco management to set up a “canteen” to support its employees, thus giving birth to Amici di Don Bosco (Friends of Don Bosco).
Starting with Italian coffee and gelato, the canteen eventually introduced wood-fire oven baked pizzas and homemade pastas. Fr Colombo’s kitchen eventually became a taste of heaven where tired and weary “souls” found comfort. News of great Italian cuisine prepared and served by priests and “ordinary people” inside a canteen spread like wildfire, attracting patrons from all over Metro Manila. From humble beginnings, Amici di Don Bosco became well known for authentic Italian pizza, pasta, and gelato.
