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!

I'm not usually a fan of thin-crust pizza, but Mama Lou's changed my mind…read more Me and my fabulous hubby were in the mood for some pizza, and Mama Lou's had captured my husband's interest for a while. We visited it for our anniversary, and the Italian bistro interior was truly captivating. They had some watercolor advertisement prints, a nice wine rack, and other touches to sell the bistro atmosphere. The supervisor, Mark, was extremely engaging, and along with our server, Aira, made sure that our visit was stellar. We enjoyed talking with Mark very much. We chose to eat the spinach and artichoke dip, the mozzarella sticks, and two fourteen-inch pizzas. I LOVED the pepperoni pizza. It had a spicy, addictive sauce that really gave it oomph. The assorted meat pizza was great, but I'm not the biggest fan of Canadian bacon. It was still delicious but didn't wow me as much as the pepperoni did. The thin crust delivered on its promise: tender dough under the toppings with a crisp, cracker like crust. We truly enjoyed the experience. The dip had this baked cheese crust that really elevated the taste, and was served with fluffy, flour tortilla, fried chips. This dish was my second favorite next to the pepperoni pizza. The mozzarella sticks were also amazing, with what seemed like hand breading. I'm used to the kind of mozzarella sticks you get in diners, so these sticks tasted a bit... classier? I think that's how I'd describe it. Anyway, I invite you to give Mama Lous in the Nuvali Solenad Mall a try. I think you'll be happy you visited.

Let me tell you, I've liked every single experience I've had eating food from Yellowcab is always a great one. Being the seafood lover that I am, I usually order their Roasted Garlic & Shrimp pizza and it is pretty much my favorite pizza that Yellowcab offers. My next favorite pizza is their Corona Chicken Salsa pizza! It's pretty much Chicken, tomato and mozarella, and they serve this pizza with slices of lime which you squeeze on the pizza..... and have a taste of one really awesome pizza. I can't put into words how much I love this pizza of theirs! And my third favorite pizza of theirs, when I want to eat something that contains purely vegetable would be the Dear Darla pizza! Other than pizza, my recommendations would be their Twice Baked Potato Halves, their Hot Wings, and their Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta!

Yellow Cab Pizza is probably one of the most popular pizza chains in the country. Their pizzas are…read moremore expensive than most out there, but don't worry you'll get what you'll pay for. In fact, when I go to parties or some get together, most people I know, whether from the North or South of Metro Manila, have a strong tendency to order Yellow Cab. Pizza isn't the only thing that you'll love from their menu. Their pastas are great. Price can be a bit steep, but the quantity and quality more than makes up for this. Their chicken wings have a distinct rich tangy and spicy flavor that I've never had anywhere else. For those who want to try something great, Italian, and not found on most pizzeria menus can try out their calzone. For those who don't know what I calzone is, think of an empanada made out of pizza and you're getting there. Just don't expect your order to be delivered by an actual yellow cab.

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.

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.

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.

And, it has the cozy interiors and ambiance other branches I went to have. My staple at TOSH is sundried tomato pesto pasta as it combines my two favorite ingredients well. My friend, though, insisted that we try the puttanesca, and it was also good, with enough tomatoes and olives. And besides, it's the same price as the sundried tomato pesto pasta (P160), so I guess I have another favorite here. They also have unusual spaghetti offerings like the pasta negra (a friend has tried this and said it has squid ink!) and the Vietnamese garlic spaghetti. I guess I'm too happy with the usual Italian choices to try either. Perhaps one day when I'm feeling adventurous I will. Or if a friend asks me. TOSH is another proudly Pinoy brand and the first-ever branch is in Katipunan, which is also the first I've been to.
