Banchetto Shopwise

Why Banchetto Shopwise is special ?

Banchetto Shopwise is so popular in Manila where people can find some fast food or snacks. Banchetto means “Banquet” in Italian (also known as the Feast of the Patron Saint of Call Center Agents). Banchetto isn’t a restaurant. It’s a street food gallery. Tents are put up at the parking lot of Shopwise Libis and restaurants, eateries and food sellers bring and sell their stuff there. Banchetto only serves food and not alcoholic drinks so this is what Banchetto practice is all about. It is a venue for those who have hunger pangs during midnight, or simply for those who wants a slumber party.
