Charlottesville is set to embark on a culinary adventure as Little Manila, the beloved food truck, prepares to open its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in the city. This exciting development will introduce Charlottesville residents to the rich and diverse flavors of Filipino cuisine, a culinary experience that has thus far been unavailable in the area.
Little Manila's decision to expand into a restaurant is a testament to the overwhelming popularity of their food truck fare. The restaurant will feature the same cherished menu items that have garnered a loyal following, along with a selection of new dishes that promise to tantalize taste buds.
Fernando Dizon, co-owner of Little Manila, expressed the importance of bringing Filipino cuisine to Charlottesville. "One of the challenges we've encountered is overcoming the initial hesitation people have when trying Filipino food for the first time," Dizon shared. "However, once people experience our dishes, they often become enthusiastic fans."
With its scheduled opening in early September, Little Manila is poised to become a culinary destination, offering Charlottesville residents a unique opportunity to savor the authentic tastes of the Philippines.
