Tinuno Grill & Café’s story originates from the Gappi family's passion for flavorful grilled recipes and original Ilocano cuisine. In the year 2000, the Gappi siblings off to finish their studies and conquer board exams, brought their family’s now 30 year old original Ilocano Chicken BBQ recipe to Manila with them as part of their comforting home-cooked meals. In 2008, they introduced their family’s Original recipe to the public by way of a small barbecue stand in Sampaloc, Manila. After just a week of starting, a customer suggested that rice should also be added to their flavorsome delicacy. Shortly after answering the demand, they gained popularity in the neighborhood. Many area patrons requested that they offer dine-in seating. Answering the call of the community, Tinuno Grill & Cafe officially opened their first store in December of 2008 on San Anton Street, in the heart of Sampaloc, Manila. As construction began, Tinuno’s interior design inspired by traditional Ilocano homes in the Northern provinces created the perfect ambience and feel of an authentic old Vigan house. The combination of their succulent menu and home-style atmosphere created the recipe to instant and great success. The Gappi siblings now became determined to further promote the growth of their business and to bring Tinuno’s Original Recipe to reach out both to the greater Metro Manila area and nationally. From it’s humble beginnings, Tinuno has not only satisfied the hungers of many but it also continues feeding the minds of many and offering great career opportunities. Though Tinuno Team has reached its growth in its 4 years, it continues to search for individuals to be a part of their team and willing to be trained to reach their highest potentials and grow from within and along with the company and eventually become part of their aggressive team of business experts that will lead them to the expansion and branding of Tinuno. After 4 years of hard work and strong faith, the Gappi’s and Tinuno have created a brand synonymous to great taste and great value. As they near their 5 year anniversary, they celebrate having established 3 solid branches and gearing to reach 5 in time for Tinuno’s 5th birthday.
