Italianni’s Menu + Our Recent Quick Date Experience

September 09, 2024

After so many years, we were able to eat at Italianni's again.

Mommy Khris and I have always loved Italianni’s Restaurant. For the last decade, we’ve been eating at Italianni’s together with our friends, especially when we have something to celebrate. In the last few years though, we’ve been eating less and less at Italianni’s especially because we transferred residence from Makati to Quezon City. That meant little time or no time to eat out because of the travel time from the office to our house, plus of course, we wanted to be home before the kids went to bed.

Italianni’s Menu + Our Recent Quick Date Experience


    Anyway, Mommy Khris and I were recently able to eat at Italianni’s after a long time just because we reported to the office on a Friday. We missed eating in this restaurant, and we ended up ordering more than we should have. Before we get to that though, I’d like to say that Italianni’s menu remains largely unchanged over the year. Our old favorites are still on the menu, which made us all the more happy.

    Our quick date at Italianni’s

    Quick date

    As mentioned earlier, we recently had the opportunity to go on a quick date at Italianni’s. Actually, quick dates since we had dinner here in a span of two weeks. One in its One Ayala branch and the other in the newly opened Ayala Fairview Terraces branch. To say that we were happy to eat at Italianni’s again is an understatement; we were elated!

    Here’s what we ordered:

    Italian Truffle Fries

    For starters, we ordered the Italian Truffle Fries. This was my recommendation because I like the savory flavors of the truffle combined with the lovely crunch of the potatoes.

    Sicilian Salad

    This is our favorite salad. We love the refreshing taste of the fruits and fresh lettuce, complemented by the light dressing. 

    Shrimp and Basil Aglio Olio

    This is my all-time favorite pasta. I like the simple taste of oil and garlic, combined with a little heat from chili flakes, and highlighted by the fresh taste of the shrimp.

    Spaghetti with Clams and Bacon

    I always like the combination of flavors from seafood and bacon (I always cook garlic shrimp with bacon), so I thought of ordering this pasta. It was a good choice; the seafood flavors from the clam and the rich taste of the bacon complemented each other.

    Sausage and Pepper Pizza

    This was also delicious but we were too full to enjoy this pizza.

    Epilogue


    All in all, it was a satisfying dining experience at Italianni’s. The food was delicious and of excellent quality. Italianni’s never fails to deliver if you want good Italian food.
