From the interiors…
to the tables…
everything in Cafe Bola is simple, delicious and refreshing…
Iced Tea has a taste of freshly brewed tea with a nice kick of lemony-pandan flavor.
Have you ever munched on TARO CHIPS after dipping it on garlic mayo?
Their CHICKEN LOLLIBALLS with PINK MAYONNAISE are well-marinated if not, tastefully seasoned…
Other than the fact the branch we tried was in the vicinity of Araneta Coliseum where Basketball games are frequently held, I’m guessing that the resto is called Cafe Bola because of those incredibly delicious meatballs on their pasta.
SPAGHETTI with MEATBALLS, Bolognese Style…
Desserts like MINI BOLA FLAN are just too pleasant for the palate…Gabby finished 2 1/2 servings on this plate! It was that good!
Our nagkahiyaan moment… 
I’ve read from somewhere that the famous restaurateur, Margarita Fores who also put up CIBO which is one of our family favorites, and Pepato in Greenbelt which we have yet to experience, also owns and manages Cafe Bola. And one can easily tell the positive contrasts between her restaurants. Cibo offers great Italian favorites with awesome presentation while Cafe Bola combines Italian, Mexican and Pinoy cuisines that are reasonably priced.
The entire set we had (above photos) was on the promo rate of only PhP 700+.
Service is quick, food servers are courteous and friendly; ambiance is relaxed and food choices needless to say, are satisfyingly yummy.
On our future visit, we’ll try their Adobo Flakes with Kesong Puti and perhaps other dishes on their menu that gives a new twists in Pinoy taste.
I only see her on magazine and broadsheet spreads and read features about her on blogs and haven’t personally met, Ms. Gaita Fores yet; but her dedication to her work as a restaurateur and florist among other hats she wears, is indeed an inspiration for people like us who aspire to put up a food place someday.
Now, excuse me as I daydream of having our own restaurant too, with Chef Gabby leading the kitchen crew.

Doc! Their carambola (meat, chicken, and seafood balls) on rice with sour cream and paprika is my absolute favorite and my sister swears by their lasagna!
Oh, and will you be able to make it to the next Chocolate Appreciation workshop? It’s going to be on May 22 and we are introducing the new single-origin hot chocolate. Details are on my blog.

Wow, I love this resto…been here quite regularly…one of my fave’s in Cubao. Thanks for sharing, looks like Tina and Gabby love this place!
The food looks really delicious. Unfortunately, that’s way over north! Do they have branches in the south?
