Lombardi's

My Facebook is pretty much food related posts. A number of them are from restaurants. Lombardi's had a post about creating a tagline for their Unlimited Pizza, Pasta and Dessert. They liked my Forever Italia idea and invited me for a free meal. Although reluctant on its authenticity, I went anyway and was joined by another individual who they also favored. I was given my choice of Pizza, Pasta and Dessert plus coffee. website dream come true. Here I had one of the best pastas I ever had. Thats says a lot because Italian ranks 6th in the most frequent cuisine I dine in. Spaghetti Aglio Olio Pepperoncino Con Gamberetti was a relatively simple pasta but overwhelms with its strong flavor. Prawns, garlic unite! Seafood Pizza was as impressive with its really thin dough that paves way to bring out the taste of cheese, tomato sauce and toppings. They serve Craving's cakes and a must have is their Devil Cake. It's sinfully good. The marshmallow creates a perfect combination with its moist lightly sweetened chocolate cake. The Iced Coffee was also for the win.

Not bad. Pricey. However the food is definitely not bad. It's not the best but it's definitely a good go to place for Italian food. It's a little less authentic than other Italian places; i.e. The Osso Buco, tender as it should be, was a little too acidic for me. Gnocchi was okay as was the calamari.

Lombardi's is in the East Wing of Shangri La, right next to Green Pastures and Corazon.The place is nice-- simple furnishing and a roomy interior. Nice place to dine with friends and have a chat. :) the restaurants around them are always super crowded while Lombardi's is almost always empty. The Taglioni Tartufati (Php 400) which is flat spaghetti noodles with Italian mushroom with black truffle. The noodles are fresh but a bit on the soft side of al dente-- but the noodles still had a bit of firmness in them. The taste of the black truffle was strong but not overwhelming. Serving is big enough for 1 hungry person or two moderately hungry people. What I didn't like was how they served parmesan powder next to it. It's an authentic Italian place so I was hoping to have parmesan shavings instead. This dish is definitely for mushroom lovers only!Above shows the Quattro Formaggi Pizza or Four Cheese :) the types of cheese they use are mozarella +3 secret cheeses. I would've liked to know what kind of cheese I was having so that i could appreciate it better. (and so we also know what we're paying for) The crust is thin and baked in a brick oven. Sad to say, cheese lovers might be disappointed since there was a lack of variety in the flavors. It really just tasted like premium mozarella cheese pizza with little bits of other cheese. Kids would probably like this since there isn't any tomato sauce and the flavors are mild. The dough was nicely crisp but soft at the same time-- which was nice but it's not the best I've had.
