Homey dining at Banapple
Banapple, I first heard of this restaurant from friends and colleagues but since the first branch is in Katipunan, I never got to visit this place. Fortunately, Banapple has another branch in Quezon City, located at the 2nd Floor of Il Terrazzo along Tomas Morato. I visited Banapple to prove all the props received by this restaurant.
Banapple, Il Terrazzo
The restaurant is quite small, there were only a few chairs inside so seating area is very limited. They have additional tables and chairs outside though for smokers. What I love is the homey and cozy ambiance, feels like your visiting a friend’s or your grandma’s kitchen.
Banapple, Il Terrazzo
We ordered 2 pasta dishes, and they’re both penne, Penne Bolognese and Baked Creamy Cheesy Penne (sounds delicious from the name itself!)
Penne Bolognese (Php 150)
Baked Creamy Cheesy Penne (Php 155)
Their pasta dishes are affordable and servings is good for two people already. It’s our first time to order so we’re clueless about their serving size. The pasta is cooked perfectly, al dente. Don’t you just love to dig in into that bowl of Baked Creamy Cheesy Penne? This is a must-try, serving it in a bowl made it feel like a comfort food you’d love to have at your home. The slices of toasted Pesto bread complete a very fulfilling meal.
Banapple became famous with their pies and cakes, they have their own Banofee Pie. I love Starbucks Banofee Pie so I just have to try Banapple’s version despite feeling satiated from the pasta.
Banapple's Banoffee Pie
Banapple’s Banofee Pie is cheaper for one, but it doesn’t have the buttery crust of Starbucks’. I don’t like cakes with too much icing too.
Banapple cakes
There are plenty of cakes worth trying so on my second visit, I made sure to take home 3 cakes! More on Banapple’s cakes on my next post.

I love Banapple! I haven’t been to the Il Terrazzo branch, but have been to the Katipunan one many times. I certainly hope they got a bigger place this time because the one on Katipunan is pretty small.

i love penne esp. those served with lots of cheese.. im feeling hungry.. haha!
Hello, thanks for coming to my site. Wow, parang ang sasarap naman ng mga pagkain dito sa Banapple, buti nal ang at wala ako dyan, otherwise, lagi akong laman ng resto na yan, matakaw ako eh, kahit itanong mo pa sa hubby ko, hehehe!
love their banoffee pie and honeylovin’ crunch cake!! yummmm!!
disappointing lang yung muffin (too dry) and too sweet naman yung fudgymudgymud pie.
The Chicken & mushroom pie I ordered is too sweet for my taste rin. But their Banoffee pie is delicious and cheap too. =)
i will try their cakes when i get there next month.
Their food looks so yummy. I’m not really into pasta but I’ll eat anything that has lots of cheese on it. That creamy cheesy penne looks heavenly (drool, drool, and more drooling). I also love cakes! Any cake will do as long as it’s sweet and has lots of icing.
Lots of love,
