Nice food but not the biggest portions, especially the vegetables. There was a lot of the menu not available too. Service was good.

Food was great. We wanted to try Bicolano food done the right way. Was surprised to find fusion Bicolano favourites In spaghetti. It was tourist friendly in a way that they asked us if we wanted the spice level to be mild or spicy. Must...try!More

Reservation was made through FB messenger. Food was very good (bopos, adobo sa gata, callos and bicol express) although a lot of the items in the menu were not available. Do not miss this stylish resto when you are in Albay!

Oldish place, with furniture that's praying for a change...but fantastic local food (fresh and tasty), attentive service and prices incredible low. No alcohol is served...try the fresh mango juice and you will not regret it! With 18 eur three persons will be full!

We went here to eat early dinner and good thing we reserved in advance via their Facebook messenger page. We ordered Bacon Carbonarra pasta which is super good not overwhelming, creamy but savory ❤️ and we also ordered cordon bleu with potato salad (the best)...and rice. Lastly, we had hawaiann pizza (no photo) which is plenty for the 2 of us that’s why we had to take it out. Over all would be back for sure! staffs are okay. :)More

Still one of the best restos in Legazpi City. The place is cozy, with air-condition ing but the doors kept open as this is safer in time of the pandemic. Food is same delish food. My fave is still the pork chop in balsamic sauce....However, their choices of side dishes decreased, maybe trying to cut costs coz of the pandemic.More

Thank you. Your feedback is a needed jab for Small Talk and the staff in this time of pandemic. Nakaka inspire po. As you correctly observed we have to cut cost, thus the decrease in the choices of side dish. But don't worry potato salad...More

This cafe was a short walk from my hotel. Attentive staff with good service. I had a few meals here and I was happy with the food. Also have a selection of desserts. Prices are probably a little higher but you are provided with a...well run establishment.More

Everytime i have visitors from abroad or from out of town, i always bring them here as the food is delish and best represents the Albayano cuisine. My fave is the Pili Basil Pasta and the Pork chop in balsamic sauce. Service of staff should...be improved however. It took a while for our food to be served as there were a lot of patrons during our visit. Maybe add more staff in the kitchen esp during busy hours.More

First time to eat here so we tried their famous bicol express pasta and pili related desserts. The restaurant has a good interior and w/ background music. I'd love to come back here to try their pizza and other dishes.

We had our dinner here and mind you, we ordered more than enough for two persons but we finished the entire food!! If I could rate this 6 stars I would! I really love the food and staff. If you are looking for authentic Bicolano...dishes, you must try Small Talk. Price is very cheap and service is good. You’ll feel like you’re eating on a fine dining restaurant. 👍🏼More

We tried the laing, Bicol express, and the seafood fiesta. All of them were good although not outstanding. For dessert, we had the pili pie. The service was very friendly and polite, but they should change the background music. For the"old Legazpi" setting/ambiance, there should...be more appropriate music to give the diners a better experience.More
