Last June 19, 2011 was Father’s Day. I was surprised by my love one to celebrate and treat me to dine at Italianni’s Restaurant in Abreeza Ayala Mall.
Italianni's Restaurant
I was blogging this restaurant last month and it’s my 2nd time around. Anyway, I like this restaurant because of their dedicated service of the waiter’s/waitress and staff, great hospitality to the customers and of course great food.

Since I already tasted their Main House Specialties, First I ordered salad I choose their specialty the Sicilian Chicken Salad Lunch at 425.00 pesos. The salad is compose of chicken breast turned it into chunks, fresh lettuce, mango, grapes and pine nuts tossed into a creamy lemon mustard dressing. All fruits and vegetables are served freshly. I really love the salad, Perfect, Two Thumbs Up.

2nd I ordered their new but one of the best sellers Quattro Carne Pizza at 450.00, The all time favorites in one special four meat pizza, it came with a different toppings bacon, italian sausages, pepperoni and parma ham, top it with tomato and cheese, its a soft crust pizza. I’m still searching for the pizza that Julia Roberts eats in the movie Eat, Pray and Love. But I guess this one is nearer, It is really tasted truly an Italian pizza and it’s really good.

The last time after I dined at Italianni’s, they give me a courtesy card in which when I dine there for a 2nd time they will give me Angel Hair Pomodoro Pasta for free. So that’s what i did i use my courtesy card. The pasta was compose of chopped red tomato sauce saluteed with garlic in a tomato basil sauce, and the noodle was small and thinlike, it’s a vegetarian pasta it’s worth 350.00 pesos. All i can say it’s good coz it’s free but I recommend you their Specialty Shrimp Fra Diablo Pasta, it’s excellent.

And lastly we ordered drinks the Fresh Fruit Shakes, it cost 140.00 each we ordered Smoothies mixed with strawberry, banana and mango. It was truly refreshing..

I really enjoyed the satisfying meal at Italianni’s, My bill is supposed to be 1,559.92 but the angel hair salad is free so I billed 1,307.13. It was pricey and expensive but it’s worth it… Two Thumbs Up.. thanks again to the waitress who serve us Vanessa….

Boodles was based on Military Style of Eating it was called Boodle Fight, where long tables prepared with banana leaves top it off with viands and rice ready to eat using your bare hands, jugs of water are prepared on the side to wash hands before the “eating combat”. With the signal to start the boodle fight, everyone aims for his/her position.
The Grand Binalot
Actually we ordered a boodles, they have the best seller boodles the I Am Ninoy in support of Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation, Education and Livelihood Program at 735.00 , since were only three of us, so I ordered the Grand Binalot Boodles at 675.00. We are on a high end mall, we can do a boodle fight not in traditional way but of course with a spoon and fork.
When our orders arrived, the food Grand Binalot Boodles was fair, Actually it’s just like a cooked at home. I think the I Am Ninoy Boodles is good, maybe next time…
