Italianni's Restaurant

Original date: May 12, 2007

A safe place to go when you don't know where to eat is Italianni's. It's a good place if you want to laugh at the top of your lungs and spend hours on end with your friends. The atmosphere of the restaurant exudes that comfortable feeling which makes people not seem to mind the noise. I can't say much about the food.. for me, it's the ambiance and the length of time you're staying there that you're paying for... food is just so-so. But still, it is money well spent if you're with great company, and the place is as welcoming as it is in Italianni's.

Bread served with balsamic vinegar, mixed with olive oil - free! (a good starter... request for the bread to be heated to soften it.. sometimes it's better letting the waiters mix the dip, but adjust as pleased. unlimited serving)Grape shake - PhP 150 (too sweet for my taste)Set Meal - PhP 850 (during the time we ate, they had a promo where you can choose 2 pastas and 1 meat dish for a cheaper price but lesser in size.)To be honest the food was not appealing at all! the food was just dumped into the plate without any consideration of its aesthetic appeal. Also, i have the weirdest pet peeve with my food touching each other! :pFrom left to right
Lasagna ala Ravina - PhP 360 (was just so-so... amici's lasagna is a better pick)
Grilled Pork Chops Au Poivre - PhP 570 (the fried spinach was definitely the umpf in this dish. the meat was soft and juicy. by far my favorite in italianni's)
Penne Verdure - PhP 295 (not enough sauce giving it a bland taste. if you can avoid ordering this, do so)
