Altrove Caffe El Nido
The best espresso in El Nido - an Italian-owned cafe in the town center with proper espresso machines, Italian pastries, and a selection of aperitivo drinks served on a breezy terrace. The spritz and the ricotta-filled cornetto have made Altrove a daily ritual for long-stay El Nido visitors.
