Mommy Khris and I have always loved Italianni’s Restaurant. For the last
decade, we’ve been eating at Italianni’s together with our friends,
especially when we have something to celebrate. In the last few years, though, we’ve been eating less and less at Italianni’s, especially because we
transferred residence from Makati to Quezon City. That meant little time or
no time to eat out because of the travel time from the office to our house,
plus, of course, we wanted to be home before the kids went to bed.

Anyway, Mommy Khris and I were recently able to eat at Italianni’s after a
long time just because we reported to the office on a Friday. We missed eating
in this restaurant, and we ended up ordering more than we should have. Before
we get to that, though, I’d like to say that Italianni’s menu remains largely
unchanged over the year. Our old favorites are still on the menu, which made
us all the more happy.

Our quick date at Italianni’s
|
| Quick date |
As mentioned earlier, we recently had the opportunity to go on a quick date at
Italianni’s. Actually, quick dates since we had dinner here in a span of two
weeks. One in its One Ayala branch and the other in the newly opened Ayala
Fairview Terraces branch. To say that we were happy to eat at Italianni’s
again is an understatement; we were elated!
Here’s what we ordered:
Italian Truffle Fries
|
| Italian truffle fries |
For starters, we ordered the Italian Truffle Fries. This was my recommendation
because I like the savory flavors of the truffle combined with the lovely
crunch of the potatoes.
Sicilian Salad
|
| Sicilian Salad |
This is our favorite salad. We love the refreshing taste of the fruits and
fresh lettuce, complemented by the light dressing.
Shrimp and Basil Aglio Olio
|
| Shrimp and Basil Aglio Olio |
This is my all-time favorite pasta. I like the simple taste of oil and garlic,
combined with a little heat from chili flakes, and highlighted by the fresh
taste of the shrimp.
Spaghetti with Clams and Bacon
|
| Spaghetti with clams & bacon |
I always like the combination of flavors from seafood and bacon (I always cook
garlic shrimp with bacon), so I thought of ordering this pasta. It was a good
choice; the seafood flavors from the clam and the rich taste of the bacon
complemented each other.
Sausage and Pepper Pizza
|
| Sausage & pepper pizza |
This was also delicious, but we were too full to enjoy this pizza.
Epilogue
All in all, it was a satisfying dining experience at Italianni’s. The food was
delicious and of excellent quality. Italianni’s never fails to deliver if you
want good Italian food.
