The restaurant staff at Doña Mila’s Lasagna was extra snooty when we were
inquiring late last year about how to order their food. That was a day before New Year’s Eve because we wanted to have lasagna at the Media Noche dinner table. Even when we
finally placed our order and until the actual pick-up of the food at Doña
Mila’s Lasagna, the crabbiness of the personnel was still palpable.
Doña Mila’s Lasagna Review
But what the heck, it was the holidays and the Christmas vibe was still in the
air. We chose to maintain the holiday cheer instead of being affected by that
person. Just the same, there's no use if we made a big fuss out of it.
The individual was probably tired because of the last minute bookings for New
Year. Plus, we were really craving lasagna and Doña Mila’s Lasagna claimed that it
had the meatiest and cheesiest lasagna in the Philippines. Well, it better be
worth it.
Lastly, we wanted to try Doña Mila’s Lasagna because we read good reviews about the food on
social media so we went for it. While we do have our favorite lasagna purveyors around Metro Manila, we still wanted to try other suppliers for a change.
About Doña Mila’s Lasagna
A little bit about Doña Mila’s Lasagna before my actual review. It’s been in
the business of serving hot-off-the-oven premium baked lasagna since 1990, as
I found out later on in it’s Facebook page. They've been in the business for so long, they really might be that good. In fact, Doña Mila’s Lasagna has
been awarded Best Lasagna in the Philippines in 2019.
Aside from premium baked lasagna, Doña Mila’s Lasagna also has salted egg
chicken nuggets, all-around chicken spread, and 15-Hour Spanish Callos in its
menu.
It currently has a branch located at Devour, 1216 E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave., New
Manila, Quezon City. Doña Mila’s Lasagna’s outlet is open from 10:00 AM to
7:00 PM. Inquiries can be coursed through its mobile phone number
0906-595-5595 and through their Facebook and Instagram (@donamilaslasagna) pages.
Doña Mila’s Lasagna is not yet on GrabFood but you can book a GrabExpress to
pick up your order. I’m not sure if they are on Foodpanda.
What we like in Doña Mila’s Lasagna
For a reasonable amount, we booked a GrabExpress to get our lasagna from the
Doña Mila’s outlet. I think the Grab driver did not see our instruction to
tell the Doña Mila’s staff that it was for the order of Mommy Khris. As a result, when the driver called us, we could hear someone raising a voice from the background and telling him to confirm first the name of the person who booked him.

That was probably the personnel that we were also talking to beforehand. Poor GrabExpress
driver, he probably said my name instead of Mommy Khris'. As soon as all things have been ironed out though, everything
went on smoothly thereafter.
When our order arrived, it came in a Christmas-themed packaging. The Doña Mila’s
Lasagna box actually looked good; as it is, you can already send it to your friends and loved
ones as a gift. The cardboard box was of excellent quality so it won’t dent or
tear during transit.
We opened it excitedly and we were greeted by a thick layer of cheese on top of the lasagna. It
also smelled delicious, so we figured the hassle of ordering it was worth it
after all.
We sliced the lasagna and we saw that the layers of pasta contained generous
amounts of ground beef. We haven’t seen all other lasagna varieties in the
Philippines to judge if indeed Doña Mila’s Lasagna is the cheesiest and
meatiest but we can tell that meat lovers will be satisfied with the amount of
ground beef inside it.
The taste was satisfying. The tomato sauce had the right amount of tartness to
balance the rich taste of the cream, cheese, and ground beef.
Doña Mila’s Lasagna was delicious and it instantly became one of our favorite
lasagna dishes. We just hope that the staff will be friendlier next time but
that's just a suggestion from us. We’re fine with it as long as they maintain
the noteworthy quality of their food.
Epilogue
To round it off, Doña Mila’s Lasagna is cheesy, meaty, and indeed of great
quality. I couldn't say if Doña Mila’s has the best lasagna in the Philippines
but it sure has one of the lasagna dishes in Metro Manila.
Doña Mila’s Lasagna’s food is packaged well so it’s also highly-recommended if
you want to give it as a gift item to your friends and loved ones.
