piadina italiana

The exterior of the restaurant is simple but clean.  We were convinced by the dine-in promotion posted outside their resto, guided by their staff we were comfortably seated at the couch and was handed a menu.  Their staff were friendly and  knowledgeable of what dish do they offer and serve.  We were amazed with their set menu at an affordable price.

Grilled Mozzarella set, a combo meal with toasted mozzarella cheese on bread, butter, garlic and a pasta carbonara.  I was shocked as how small their serving were and was disappointed that their mozzarella set was almost just like a french toast.  But then we were too hungry to complain so we dig in, and to our surprise it was not bad after all.  Pasta was cooked al dente, though a little bland for a typical carbonara but the bread is really crunchy and gooey  because of the mozzarella.  Maybe if they served more of the pasta carbonara, as we have expected, a serving of this combo meal set is enough for one.  A rating of 3/5 for this dish.

menu rimini mare - pasta scampi

Menu rimini mare with pasta scampi seafood version of pasta.  Pasta cooked al dente, and the red sauce used were really an italian style with shrimps.  Perfect who seeks vegetable pasta, for they used italian sauce not that sweet nor sour perfect blend.  Served  with pita bread on the side price at 225.00.  A rating of  4/5.

Zuppa del giorno

Zuppa del giorno, soup of the day then was Cream of celery soup.   The soup was served hot and it was really creamy with a hint of celery taste topped with croutons, price at P70.00.  A rating of 4/5.

pasta carbonara

Pasta Carbonara with bacon and light cream sauce, quite bland for a typical carbonara.  There’s not much cream and milk to the sauce, tasted more of the pasta itself, for the price of 170.  A rating of 3/5.

Overall, my Piadina Italiana experienced was 3/5.
