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.

I was in the country the year they opened and happened to be visiting my cousin in the area who took me here for lunch with her family. I remember having the best dining experience and promised to come back the next time I'm in the country again. This time around that very same cousin invited me to stay with her for the weekend so of course I obliged. She made sure a meal here was on the agenda. We came in for lunch 7 deep on a Saturday. There was a little bit of a wait, but we didn't mind since we were catching up on what we missed the last few years since I hadn't seen them in over a decade. My cousin went on an ordering spree as soon as we sat down. Before I knew it, food started covering all our tables. What a feast indeed. My mango shake was amazing. Always so good. Every dish was great. They're known for their pastas, hut I only got to have a bite of one order. I got a bit of every single dish ordered for the table. The salad was my personal favorite. The pizzas were great. The bbq was my favorite of the meats. A visit here is a must if you're in the area. I highly recommend walking around the Liliw area for souvenirs from the local vendors right after your meal. We had such an amazing day. I know I've only visited twice, but the memories bring me so much joy. I always tell everyone I know in the Philippines to make sure they come here for a meal if they happen to be in the area. I'd certainly be in trouble if I lived in the area. I will definitely be back for a visit on my next visit. I intend to be in the Philippines towards the end of the year so I guess see you soon! From California, with love.

Boasting with a menu that's filled with all your classic guilty pleasures, such as fries, onion rings, pizzas, pastas and mouthwatering versions of burgers, Auntie Pearl's is a no brainer for those who are simply looking to cap off a rough day with a good meal. A must try? I dare say their version of the bacon cheeseburger melt is something that's worth added cholesterol. Nothing special, nothing new, but with its patties char-grilled to perfection coupled with strips of bacon, you better not be on a diet since this concoction by Auntie Pearl will surely make you rethink that. In addition to that, perhaps try ordering some sides of onion rings or chili cheese fries - and maybe even a pizza - and now, your diet will surely be in peril. To top that all off, Auntie Pearl's also serves ice cold brewskis to help you wash that all down

There are a lot of reasons I'm glad I'm alive, and one of them is Restaurant Verbena. One really can't expect anything less than wonderful from the restaurant of one of Tagaytay's premier luxury bed and breakfasts, so I have been longing to try their take on country fare with a local twist. I certainly wasn't disappointed with our meal, which started with their mozzarella and tomato starter, served fondue style with warm focaccia. We then had Caesar salad, which was interesting because the lettuce leaves was still intact with the stem (not entirely sure if it's called the stem though). We chopped the leaves and mixed the dressing and thin slices of cheese before devouring the delectable salad. For our mains, we had their brick chicken, which as we were told is cooked in a pan and having a hot brick placed on top of it for it to have its distinct flavor. It's served with sweet potato puree and a mix of capers and sundried tomatoes that was incredibly yummy. As if that wasn't enough, we got the black truffle mushroom risotto with bits of bacon. Goodness gracious, it was one hell of a dish. To end our meal, I felt like I had prima ballerinas dancing in my mouth when I devoured their chocolate marquise with pistachios, which was a cross between a chocolate mousse and a creamy ganache.

Crispy Crablets (220 PHP) Order this for a good start. It won't disappoint. Crispy Tawilis (210 PHP) The Tawilis sardines are found only in the Taal Lake. This is a must order when visiting Taalena. Ensaladang Talong (135 PHP) A fresh and healthy dish that you eat in between the rest of their food. I find it as a good palate cleanser. Kare Kare (450 PHP) The sauce was thin and could use some improvement, which I'm sure has improved with our suggestions. Crispy Pata (595 PHP) Decent crisp and meat to bone ratio, and enough flavour to be considered good. It remained crispy despite the wind and cool weather which should consider when dining in Tagaytay in general. Tortang Talong (215 PHP) It's not going to be something you'd remember or even rave about it's just that ordinary with an elevated price. So the food isn't the best in Tagaytay, but don't let that discourage you from experiencing their wonderful ambiance. They have a band that goes around each table playing various melodies from the oldies to the current hits. It's a nice addition to their already outstanding atmosphere. They even a large green space on the lower floor for kids to run around and play.

With a view fronting Taal Volcano (get there early or make a reservation so you can get a table outside), there's nothing much that can top good Italian food and a hot cup of coffee with the cool Tagaytay breeze blowing around you. My personal favorites are Buon Giorno's risottos, specifically their salmon and sausage ones. Not too dry but not too moist, with just enough meat so you don't feel like you're just eating wet rice. Oh, and just like a lot of other good Italian places, fresh unli-bread while you're waiting for your food is a big, big plus.

First times always have the greatest impact, and just so everything is clear, I have patronized Buon Giorno since and there were hits and misses. But that first time was perfect. The lamb was cooked to perfection, the salads crisp and bright, and the drinks were refreshing and well-concoted. The interiors are really pretty without screaming for attention. While it's not exactly a place people go to see quirky decor, the restaurant is tastefully and interestingly designed. The pastels and somewhat shabby chic interiors make everything feel cozy despite the slightly cramped restaurant floor. If you prefer to eat al fresco, they have many tables outside.
