Amici

Time for a restaurant tripping! :)

We went to this place because of O begging for their Brazo de Mercedes cake. :p The week before, we already went here for a slice of Brazo and some gelato. I'm talking about none other than Amici.

We have tried this restaurant a year ago in their Makati branch (Pasong Tamo). We found it hard to go to because there was no parking area. So when it opened in Megamall, we were really so psyched!

Here are some photos of their interior:


The pastry area:



Here's our number! Ready for our meal!!! :)


So on to our orders:

First stop is the Mozarella Fritto: (P150.00)
O loves Fried Mozarellas and this did not disappoint. At first I thought "just 3?" But when we finished our meal, the quantity was just right.


My order, Lasagna: (P195.00)
Yummy yummy bread and the lasagna was so cheezy! Really really yummy!!! :) I was also able to taste the pasta very well. The whole dish was fresh. However, it was a bit flat compared to that of -ba--o, which is another favorite Italian restaurant of mine. But this was good, really good.


O's Spinach Montanara: (P195.00)
I was also able to try this, I loved it as well. It was so tasty! The sauce was great. Very meaty and cheezy. The pasta was good too. According to O, this dish was so so so filling! And actually it looked like it. It was a big dish. :p


Of course, to finish our meal is our dessert, O's favorite here in Amici, Brazo de Mercedes: (P45.00/slice)
What I love about this is it's big. I took another photo below just to show you how thick 1 slice is. :) The white part was so fluffy and really really tasty, and of course, let's not forget the good part, the yellow part, which is made of egg yolks. It's impossible for you not to stop and enjoy the dessert with this. :p



Thoughts:
Another round of Amici? Sure why not! We will definitely go back. The price was so so reasonable, compared to other Italian restaurants. They have branches in Makati, Ortigas and Tomas Morato, so it's convenient to go to. They serve big dishes. The staff are friendly. The gelato's so yummy and cheap too. Only P45 per scoop. More power to Amici! :)

I tried Amici once and it's the one located at Makati too! I heard they opened a couple of branches outside makati so it's great :)
