Manila has always had a thriving dining scene, but go-to designer JJ Acuna sets a new experiential standard with Carlo’s, a cosy restaurant inspired by the idiosyncratic style of New York City’s Little Italy. ‘We wanted to capture the unique hospitality that Italian immigrants brought to New York, and which then developed its own distinctive soul,’ says Acuna.
