I will always have pleasant memories of Buon Giorno. After all, it's where my wife took me on a…read moresurprise date (actually a double date with one of our favorite couples), it's where my family went for Christmas dinner several times before I got married, and it's also where we went for Christmas dinner for our first family trip after I got married. 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.

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.

Reserve a table on the outside terrace for the best experience and avail of their bottomless ICED TEA the best I've had so far, it's super refreshing. 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.

I find it quite intriguing why he's so fond of the place. Not that I'm complaining or anything. This diner serves all of my favorite food: pizza, pasta and wings. Their buffalo wings are big and bursting with flavor. They have a mild and a spicy version and I like both. I'm partial to cream-based pastas so their carbonara for me is a winner. And should I even talk about the pizza? Carlo's is first and foremost a pizza place, so expect their pizza to be terrific. I think I finally figured out why my father loves eating here so much. I can say a lot of things like maybe because my dad is such a simple and dependable person that he appreciates places that always delivers above expectations, or because we all have a great time eating here as a family. But to just sum it up, I think my dad loves Carlo's Pizza because the food is simply delicious.
