And then at lunch, the office clutz spills his smoothie all over your favorite pencil skirt. And then you find out your office crush asked your friend out on a date. Later that day, while riding the MRT, your shoe heel breaks. What do you do? Go! The correct answer is: Head to Kapitolyo and let Pomodoro's Margarita Pizza do a CPR on your day. Being a meatlover, I can say that I was amazed at how tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and their secret cheese came together and formed a phenomenal pizza (one you'll fall in love with instantly!). Unlike your run-of-the-mill pizza, it doesn't overcompensate by having a buttload of meat, and quite frankly, it doesn't need to. It's perfect just the way it is. The best part? It has considerably less calories! Yes, that's right, so you can remain faithful (sort of!!) to your 1200 calories per day diet. Because some days just demand an emergency pizza. Thin crust. Extra cheese, if you please.

It offers a full Italian style menu that also includes appetizers, pasta, desserts as well as coffee and liquor. I ordered the Truffle, Honey & Four Cheese pizza. This is actually my fave pizza! The sweetness from the honey and the saltiness of the four cheeses - flavor BOMB in your mouth! I actually ask for more honey to dip the crust in. Yum! I have also tried the Classic Motorino Meatballs and Clams & Bacon pasta. The Clams & Bacon pasta is delicious! If you had tried Spaghetti alle Vongole, you will love this. They also serve wines here and even a "Wine All You Want" for 90 minutes. They also have a Happy Hour from 4PM - 8PM!

I would come back definitely

Their pizzas are thin and soft which allows you to roll it without having the crust crack or flake. I prefer alfalfa sprouts over arugula as it gives it an added crisp and a refreshing taste. We usually get the Corleone's Order, for the honey and truffle twist, and the Big Bang Supreme, to satisfy the carnivores in us. Pazzo Rollio also offers a few promos every so often. They're most belly-filling-wallet-happy offer includes a starter, family-sized pizza, family-sized pasta, and a pitcher of iced tea, all for Php699. The branches of Pazzo Rollio also all have one feature in common - the bunk bed style tables. This give you a bit of privacy, even if you're seated on the bottom bunk.

From the laundry shop, it looks closed that's why I didnt even bother going there the first time I did my laundry. But the second time, I did go coz I needed my coffee fix. It's a nice cozy place and what really got my attention is they have free wifi! For a person like me who is wifi hungry, this is really a great place, considering they have coffee too lol! I tried logging in the wifi, but for some reason, it didn't work. One of the reasons why I am giving them 4 stars. They serve coffee, cakes, pasta and even filipino breakfast. I was gonna try their version of tapsilog but I didnt have much time to stay there coz I need to get my laundry after I got my coffee. I got Caramel Macchiato. It was a good combination of sweetness and bitterness from the caramel and the coffee. I almost wished it's blended coz it kinda tastes like caramel frappe. By the time I get back here and this place is still open, I will definitely try their cakes and the other stuff in their menu!

First things is that the place is just beautiful. It's warm, intimate, even romantic with the right person. The wooden panels and accents really accentuate the intimate atmosphere of the place. The menu also exemplifies how true Grande Torino is to its Italian roots. The Bismark is great. All of the toppings worked well together to create a well-balanced pizza. The crust is perfectly thin, and it's one of the pizzas wherein I actually like eating the crust. The egg really made the difference and pushed the dish from just good. The Vongole, while a classic, was one of the better Vongole dishes I've had. The clam juices were strong and its flavor really came through. The noodles were perfectly al dente and I was in pasta heaven. Pair the meal with a glass of wine and it will be the perfect relaxing night from a long week.

The pizza was ok, it was nothing to write home about, but there was a good amount of toppings and the crust was very nicely done. The lasagna was beefy enough and had a beautiful layer of cheese on top. Maybe I just ordered wrong. If you're in the area and looking to explore, this is a nice place to go to.

You'd only come to know of its existence if you notice the sign they put up or if you had happened to roam the building its located in. As soon you enter the place, you get this cost, bistro vibe. Rather unexpected considering the area. There are paintings and Polaroids of customers on the walls and games for customers to play with. Very customer-friendly. It's really a place to chill and hang out with friends. Their selection of games includes: Tumbling Towers, Cards Against Humanity, Pictionary, Monopoly Deal, and Battle of the Sexes. There are sofa-type chairs on one side of the dining area and tall bar-type chairs on the other. My friends and I ordered pizza and a couple of pasta dishes - all very good for the price. Try their pizzas if you like the crispy, thin crust type. They have some rice meals too. Be warned: they can take a while to serve food when the place is busy. But then again that's where the games come in.
