MONA LISA... Very Good Italian!

MONA LISA RISTORANTE @ Commerce Center, Alabang. Cousin Chef Joy and her mom, whom we lovingly call Mother, invited us for an Italian lunch. We haven't seen each other for a long time and this lunch served as a reunion, sort of.

Anyway, Joy (a certified Chef, mind you!) had been raving about this place in Alabang. And true enough, it was worth the trip from Makati. Personally, I really enjoyed their PANIZZA and their chicken and pasta.

 This platter has it all! 
Pepperoni, Swizz cheese,
Crostinis, etc!

Beef - Mushroom & Ham! 
 
 Alfalfa Sprouts
and Arugula for the Panizza!

 I was really surprised by this...
I loved the subtle tart creamy flavor 
with the grilled chicken breast & fettuccine

 I want my Calamari golden brown 
but it was good enough

 Of course, when you're eating good Italian,
you better finish the meal with a good Tiramisu!
Not soggy. A bit bitter. Perfect.

 
 Simple interior.
Waitstaff knows what they're doing!

 Monalisa, do you have a branch
somewhere in Makati or BGC?

Thank you, Chef Joy and Mother!

    1. Ah, yes! The food there is really good especially the Panizza! I really hope that they open here in Makati or The Fort. :)
