This place is easily the best restaurant to get the most authentic Italian food here in the south…read more Daniele, the owner of this place, is the son of the famed owner of Bellini's in Cubao X, so you're sure you're in for a real good treat. This place can be easily missed if you're along Sucat road because it's quite discreet-looking and has no parking. But inside is a different story--the vibe is reminiscent of Bellini's. It's cozy, homey, and filled with Italian-themed decor, a leaning tower of Pisa, and so on. You'll forget that you're in bustling, polluted Sucat road! We got the Aglia Oglio Pasta, and a Mushroom Risotto (that they made vegan just for me! Just ask nicely). Both dishes were really topnotch and exceeded our expectations (though to be honest, we had none at this particular time. I mean, any meal after a 10-hour trip from Vigan, Ilocos will be satisfying). Their servers are very accommodating, and at that time they were offering us these really fresh, gigantic portobello mushrooms they had that looked so tempting (but were quite pricey--though to be honest, I STILL think about that moment. What if we had gotten those mushrooms?!?! WHAT IF). Just like Bellini's, at the end of your meal you are treated to a complimentary jigger of Italian sweet wine. Bellisimo!

Lots of tables for large group. Our table for four however, was a bit cramped. Service is very friendly and solicitous. They have a lady in one corner making fresh pasta and their huge wheel of parmigiano sits in the dining room. A number of pastas are mixed in that wheel and it makes for a very good cheesy rich pasta. Their menu has designated spot for the pastas that are mixed in the wheel. If you do go here, you've got to make it a point to try one of them. Do not bother to order their fried calamari or in their menu it called frittata de pesci (fried seafood) - i ordered it and requested squid only.... It was tasteless, very disappointing . However, everything else we ordered, 2 pizzas, gnocchi, rigatoni and burrata salad were all quite good. So was the cholate gooey brownie dessert. It was all in all a good pleasant experience but not outstanding.

As an IPA lover, I tried all of their IPAs. I found them to be a bit too malty and heavy for me. I did enjoy their Honey Wheat Ale - which was fruity and more on the earthy side.

The atmosphere and decor were great, with a very modern and date I say American craft brewery feel. The best selection was impressive, all brewed in house (see pictures). As I usually do, I ordered a flight to sample several of their beers and referenced Untappd for those with the best rating. While these beers are likely adjusted to the local taste palettes, when comparing them to the numerous breweries I've been to in the United States I wasn't able to rate any of the beers I tried much above average. I found them to be relatively bland in comparison. It is still a great venue and one you will likely enjoy if you are looking for a fun atmosphere with a large selection of unique tap beers.

I mean, the guy couldn't be asked to frivolously spend money in order to save someone else's life. For him, food is food, if it was too expensive he'd back out. This is why Amici was for me one of the best recommendations that I ever had. He once took his girlfriend here. He talked to me about how good the food was. At first I was skeptical since most Italian restaurants had a tendency to be fancy. This one though was small and a bit unassuming, I gave the place a try cause, well, what the heck, why not right? It's a good thing that I listened to the guy because when I want authentic Italian food at a reasonable price and one of these places just happen to be there I end up getting a platte of pasta and a small pizza for myself. It's worth the price trust me give it a shot you won't regret it.

I first heard about this place from a girl friend, I get most of my recommendations from women, and that I should give it a try. I wasn't much of a yogurt guy up until I actually gave this place a shot. I'm glad she told me about it. I blame White Hat for getting me hooked into yogurt. Ever since then, whenever I see a new yogurt place I haven't tried I end up giving it a shot in the hopes that it''s as good as white hat. It's not just yogurt. They also have waffles topped with yogurt. They give their yogurt a little bit of an extra special something to make it a little bit different. To this day, I still keep coming back for more when I have the time and the money to spare.

Fortunately, I am quite fond of it than ice cream or a sundae. I like that it's just a bit sour and still sweet. One of my chosen fro-yo places is The White Hat. It's located at the heart of Alabang Town Center, so I can just grab a small cup and eat it while window shopping, or I can sit in their little store and take my sweet time devouring it there. It tastes fine plain, but it's even better with toppings and they have over 20 of those to choose from. Different kinds of fruits, grains, nuts and candies available for the picking. My favorite toppings would be peach slices, almond slivers and their homemade cheesecake bits. Sweet but still healthy.

Their simple pomodoro pasta is a perfect harmony of fresh tomatoes (I can taste both the sweetness and sourness!), just the right zing from the garlic (as well as other spices I can't identify), the subtle flavor of the basil, and the smooth olive oil. It's so simple and yet so delicious. They certainly do not scrimp on their ingredients. Their pasta has portions good for one and good for sharing, with a third option (Abbondanza, which means abundance) being the biggest option for sharing. Their pizzas are winners, too. My friend and I ordered the margherita pizza. Again, I could taste the freshness of the ingredients. They also used goat cheese in addition to the mozzarella cheese, and it certainly adds more flavor. Italianni's ambiance is also nice - the red and white checkered tablecloths especially add to the feel of Italian dining.

I ordered Mama's Lasagna. The waitress came back and informed me that they were out of lasagna. I asked if they have fettucine alfredo. A blank look came over her face as she stated that she had never heard of it. Ok. THIS is an Italian restaurant. I asked her how big a 10" pizza would be. She didn't know? I decided on a 12" pizza to be on the safe side. My wife's marsala arrived and it looked and tasted like country fried chicken with cream gravy. Definitely not Chicken Marsala! It was tasty though. My pizza came and it was about the right size for me. It was tasty also. Overall, Mama Lou's needs to make sure their employee's are familiar with Italian food and able to answer simple questions. Will I go back? Probably not. I can get good pizza elsewhere.
