Consider a small restaurant but clean and comfy, atmosphere not bad, especially the night time vibe. Can walk to the Lio beach from here. Staff is friendly, the western food is good, highlight would be the pizza, one of the best pizzas I ever tried. Price is on the high side, even for Subang (Malaysia) area. Recommended the pizza, the rest taste almost the same like Malaysia Western food House. Anyway, a pleasant dining experience for me and my friends.

We went to The Clay Kitchen because we read amazing reviews but the experience was disappointing. We ordered a ribeye as medium cooked and it was served well done, in addition the steak itself was horrible quality lots and lots of nerves and fat, unfortunately hard to eat any of it. Also ordered the seafood Alfredo and that was OK. Lastly this restaurant did not have any water bottles nor soda. It was a little hard to get a non-alcoholic beverage.

Food was so amazing and portioning was over the top! It was just my husband and I who were eating and we got super busog!! Couldnt finish the pizza cause the mains we had were too yummy!! Nicely seasoned steak and the pork belly was very very fork tender. Had an amazing time here. But we were the only ones eating so the marketing strategy should level up a little bit more compared to the other restaurants around lio beach. ❤️❤️❤️ staff was very friendly and nice to talk to plus the kitchen team were great!

The Spaghetti Pomodoro and the Aglio Olio Shrimp were also very good. Al dente pasta. :) The quattro formaggi Wood fired pizza was delicious. I found the flavor of the “Italian sausage” in the clay kitchen special pizza to be overpowering, though. But overall good food - we ate there twice!

I visited The Clay Kitchen twice during my visit to El Nido. The first visit, we had some issues with the wait time for our entrees. We were a table of four with no special requests, and the wait definitely left a bad taste in our mouths. There was not a manager available to speak with before leaving, but I got the manager's contact info and sent her an email. The manager may very well be an angel, and she responded much faster than I would have expected. She went over and above to resolve our issue. I believe she really will work with her staff to try and ensure other guests don't have issues. During our first visit, we had an order of Calamari that was a bit overdone. The rest of our meal, aside from a long wait, was quite delicious! The pastas were all cooked perfectly, al dente. The seafood in my seafood marinara was all tender and juicy, and the marinara sauce was really good! My cousin had a four cheese pizza, I'm glad she ordered it because I wouldn't have wanted to share any it was so cheesy and delicious!! 😋 😀 My other cousin had the shrimp and oil pasta, a bit plain for a tomato lover like me, but I can still agree. It was prepared perfectly and worth 5 stars! The food was so good, and thanks to the manager and staff taking care of us, I went back again the next day for the Caricato (meat lovers) pizza for takeout. It was another home run! My only caution - they make every order fresh, and perfection takes time, so there may be a little wait. I highly recommend a visit if you're an Italian food lover like me in El Nido!

I was in El Nido for 7 days and this is one of my fave spots to dine at in Lio beach. I loved everything on the menu, especially the lasagna and the pork belly. Also had meatballs spaghetti and their signature pizza delivered to where my newly-found friends and I were staying at, almost every night is a clay kitchen pizza and booze night there. By the way, the modest-looking long island iced tea will kick your arse if you're not mindful lol. The space looks homey, their music playlist is fire, wifi lightning, the staff is superb, and the food is :chef's kiss emoji: 10/10 will dine again. :) Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Roasted Pork Belly

Who would have thought that peaches is the new pineapple in a pizza. I enjoyed it however the pizza could have cooked a little bit longer. That could have given this review a 4 stars. The seafood Alfredo is good but my fiancé cannot get over with the pizza. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

The restaurant looks very inviting from the outside. Its rustic theme with lots of plants is an eyecatcher. The alfresco setting is very relaxing. They have private spaces outside where we sat but we still felt the cozy vibe of other diners and staff. Great and fast service. It was a busy night when we dine. The house special pizza will surprise you with the twist of peach. And nothing beats wood fired pizza. Not a fan of creamy pasta but their Chicken Penne was the winner. Pasta is cooked al dente 👌🏽 Price is average compared to other restaurants in Lio beach. Must try in Lio :) Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person ₱600–800 Recommended dishes Clay Kitchen Special Pizza
