[OK na Food Trip] Bistro Ravioli

Unang Hirit:

Madaming beses na din kaming nakakakain sa Glorietta-branch nila in the past. So might as well drop a nod as they have been one of our go-to places kapag nakakaluwag-luwag.

Glorietta branch

Ang Nilantakan:

• Molto Meatball Spaghetti
• Diablo Wings
• Creamy Caesar Salad
• Italian Sausage Ravioli (ordered in past visit)
• Italian Sausage and Bacon Pizza (ordered in past visit)

meatball spaghetti

The molto meatball spaghetti is our go-to pasta item here. There's nothing extraordinary about it really but it is exactly the spaghetti we expect from the price we are paying. The noodles have a nice texture. The tomato sauce tastes good. The herbs give it an enticing aroma. We love the garlic bread. And the single hefty serving of meatball complements the sauce well in taste.

chicken wings

Yung diablo wings ang binabalik-balikan namin dito. It's sweet, tangy, crunchy, and spicy rolled into one. Very flavorful na yung thick "buffalo" sauce na naka-kumot sa mga pakpak. And yet it still comes with a small bowl of their own ranch dressing as dip. Personally, gustong gusto ko yung garlic-y taste neto pero kahit wala nun masarap pa din yung manok. An order comes with three average-sized pieces (pero ang sasabihin nila ay 6 pieces ito, pero 3 lang talaga na pinutol sa anim... gets?). Frankly, considering the price, sana mas malaki ng konti yung mga pakpak.

They are not joking when they call it Creamy Caesar Salad dahil talagang creamy yung dressing. It is served generously with a thick creamy consistency. Tama lang ang asim neto para sa amin. The salad greens are ample enough for two with equally generous toppings of croutons and parmesan cheese.

For the ravioli, the amount of pasta dumplings on a single serving (about 6 or 7 pieces?) and the tasty sausage inside (for the Italian Sausage Ravioli) are good enough reasons to make us think that the price is a bit justified. Okay ang size ng isang dumpling, parang dalawang kagat kada isa. The sauce is thick with garlic and pepper flavor. Mabigat sa tiyan ang putahe na ito.

Patok yung brick-oven pizza nila dahil crunchy yung crust sa labas pero malambot yung loob. Nakukulangan ako sa dami ng nakabudbod na sausage at bacon (for the Italian Sausage and Bacon Pizza) pero masarap naman yung sauce. Wag kalimutang budburan ng chili flakes para mas ma-appreciate ang kick ng lasa.

Ang Damage:

Chicken wings goes for P280. The pasta dishes ranges from P200 to P240. Their ravioli is at P250. Pizza starts at P330.

Namamahalan ako dito, all things factored in. Kaya kumakain lang kami dito (as I mentioned above) kapag nakakaluwag and mostly if we are craving for their chicken wings.

Ang Chechebureche:

Maagap ang mga nagsisilbi pero mostly dahil konti lang naman ang lamesa dun at maliit ang floor area. Hindi dapat ganun kahirap ma-supervise yung mga customer.

Actually, wala silang "floor area" per se dahil nasa mismong tabi sila ng daanan ng mall. Kaya para kaming nasa aquarium kapag kumakain dahil madalas tinitignan ng mga dumadaang tao yung kinakain namin. Ang style namin, dun kami umuupo sa gilid na malapit sa dingding (sa tabi ng ref nila), para may sense ng privacy kahit papano.

viewing pleasure

Trip namin yung kitchen nila na open for viewing dahil salamin lang ang nakaharang. Pwede panoorin kung paano nila niluluto yung mga pagkain. Amazing. Sa tapat nun ay may bar area na pwedeng dun kumain.

Tip: Isawsaw ang pizza sa ranch dip ng Diablo Wings. Nam nam!

Huling Hirit:

Okay sana ang pagkain at pwede nang ipilit na okay ang presyo (lalo na kung bagong sweldo). Kaso talo na nasa daanan ito ng tao. Turn off.

mismong daanan na ng mall yang open space sa kanan
