Bistro Ravioli!

Bistro Ravioli @ G/F Greenbelt 1

I don't remember making fresh Ravioli in my life not even in school. Sayang. I love it, though. Really love it. That's why when Tita Nelia and I saw this restaurant in Greenbelt 1 (while killing time) we immediately got curious and went in. We ordered for Salmon Ravioli in Saffron Cream Sauce (P245) and Quattro Formaggi or Four Cheese Pizza (P420).  While waiting we talked with the servers and realized that we've already seen Bistro Ravioli in Glorietta but never considered trying kasi nandun siya sa area na mainit at mahina ang aircon. Kaya pala. 


Anyway, we should have tried the Glorietta branch noon pa because the pasta here is more than okay. Its very good. In our case, the salmon was not O.A. (so is the cream sauce) meaning, not overwhelming to the tongue. Hindi nakaka-umay. 



As for the pizza, we loved the crust. It's thin and crispy... slightly but deliciously burnt. We took the half home only to find out that the people in the house have been eating at the Glorietta branch way before our discovery. So, it wasn't our discovery pala. Oh well...

Exceptional Food at Tutto Domani!

Tutto Domani @ New World Hotel (Store #9)

Everything about this "Lifestyle Coffee Bar" is exemplary, the service and most especially the food. It's owned by Chef Anthony Yupangco who used to work for a considerable number of years at Mandarin. The restaurant shares a space with a furniture shop (which he also owns with friends) located at the corner of Esperanza Street and Makati Avenue in Makati. 

We knew of Tutto when Tita Nelia's (Let's Cook My Way) good friend (Marissa), the owner of Country Spice, took us there a few months back. We fell in love with the place and I vowed to sample their twice-cooked Roasted Crispy Chicken on my next visit, which I did (and worshiped it!).

It was the Christmas Lunch of Tita and her High School classmates (JASMS). And I tell you... everybody adored the food!

Yomenya Goemon Japanese Spaghetti House!

Yomenya Goemon Japanese Spaghetti House @ Greenbelt 3

I like things Japanese, especially their food. I love Japanese fried chicken, Japanese curry, Japanese burgers, Japanese noodles and lately, Japanese pasta and Japanese pizza.  

Tita Nelia Silverio (Let's Cook My Way) and I always see this relatively new restaurant in Greenbelt 3 whenever we pass by to get our cinema tickets. It wasn't until a few days ago when we finally entered Yomenya Goemon to try it out. The servers were attentive who actually knew what they're selling. Impressive. The food came promptly and the presentation was kept to a minimum. Nothing fancy. And we liked that. 

Taste? I like the pizza. The crust, thin and crunchy. One thing though... the cheese kept sliding off the crust (I eat my pizza with my hands). It's not really a problem but it's better if they do something about it (IF they can do something about it). And the pasta? It's light meal. Not your typical pasta drowning in heavy, thick sauce yet the genuine shrimp and mushroom flavors were there.

A return visit? Why not!

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!
