If you are a pasta lover, then this would be the place for you. It has a variety of pasta dishes and you would even have a chance to choose their own pasta noodles. Whether you prefer tomato based sauce, cream based sauce, oil based sauce or even my favorite pesto sauce, you would find it on their menu.
You could choose from the following pasta noodles:
Fettuccine -Medium Ribbons
Farfalle – Bows used as an interesting shape for pasta and sauce dishes
Linguini – Long flat ribbons similar to fettuccini
Penne – Quill shaped small pasta
Spaghetti -Fine or medium rods
Spaghettini – A thinner version of spaghetti
Capellini – Long strands of pasta that are very similar to Angel hair pasta, only slightly thinner.
Fusilli -Long twists often used in desserts and sweet dishes
Shaped pasta like Fusilli are best for thick tomato sauces, meat sauces, chunky sauces and cheese sauces.
Strand pasta like capellini, spaghetti, spaghettini are great with light tomato sauces, butter based sauces, light oil based and light cream based sauces.
Ribbon pasta like fetuccine and linguine are good with meat sauces, thick tomato sauces, and thick cream sauces. For narrow or fresh pastas – Light tomato sauces, butter based sauces, light oil based sauces, and light cream based sauces.
Tubular pasta like penne would be a good match with Thick tomato sauces, meat sauces, chunky sauces, and thick cream sauces.
But then again, it doesn't matter what type of pasta and sauce you would use as long as it suits your taste and enjoy the food.
Spicy Meatsauce. Chef's favorite creation w/ spiced ground beef and pepper. Since I like spicy food, I would definitely try this again. Just make sure that you have a glass of water by your side if you do try this.
Pesto Classic. Basil, garilic, extra virgin olive oil, wallnut, parmesan & cream. I know it does not look that inviting but this is denifinitely a must try!
Pasta would cost php 159.00. This would include their focaccia bread w/ grated parmesan cheese. Of course, this does not include their 8% service charge.
They also serve pizzas, sandwiches, soups and appertizers. Their chicken is great as well.
The place in Glorietta I where I tried this was small and I felt uncomfortable. But once you see and taste what you ordered, you'll just forget how small the place is. They also have branches in Sm Megamall and Sm Manila.
Enjoy!
