Beef and mushroom in red wine reduction is a must try! 💋 ambiance is really nice. I would love to see the servers deliver our food with tray on our next visit vs carrying food one by hand with their hands

A new place along the busy Aguirre Street where food industry seems to be thriving ...or not, depending on how good your product is. This is the place where food businesses turn over rates are a bit fast. Their signage is very eye catching, and when you get in, its spacious, and hip and comfy... Until of course when I started eating, I realized that the seat was a bit low against the height of the table, and a few centimetres afar and I could not very well drag the seat, which was why the sauce of my food, I didn't notice til it was pointed out by my friend, dripped on my pristine shirt. 5 for the service :) The servers acted as if they were trained by the Bistro Group, especially Vin who was attentive and friendly yet professional. He gave us room to peruse the menu then when we were ready he was there without us calling him. When we asked for seasonings, apart from what they put on the table, he said he will try to look for them in the kitchen if they have, he did provide us with what we were asking for (most servers in restos of the same level as this place would just outrightly say no even if they have). He and Anthony looked like they know how to handle the job professionally. We are still going back to try some of the dishes here, since the ones we ordered were not satisfying to make an impression enough for us to endorse the dishes. The thing is, we are so used to Italian food everywhere that we try to liken this place to them, but that would be a bit unfair. But then again, those places set the bar unless you have been to Italy or your family is married to an Italian family, which of course would point you out to what's authentic. In PastaRoni's case, when we tasted the food, Sbarro's came to mind immediately. The pasta we ordered tasted like it's been made by the same chef of that resto. The Porkchop they served us had a thick fat that it runs in contravention to their motto of guilt free Italian cooking. This is on top of the fact that the meat was like that of a hog instead of the regular pig (read: age meat difference) that as you chew it had this mature meat taste. Then it was too white like it was boiled instead of baked. Why did we ask for seasonings? That was because the meat wasn't marinated and it tasted like it was boiled. The skin even had hog's hair :/The Double Double Mozzarella Cheese Bake is quite unique. They still rolled the mozzarella in bread crumbs, layered with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. You have to eat this right away if you order it, otherwise you'd be staring at a lump of cheese that you wish you didn't order :D The choco Lava with ice cream is great, except that it would have been pure delight to just serve it with the oh so simple yet creamy vanilla ice cream instead of flavoured one, to underline the richness of the oozing chocolate when you spoon a portion. With the flavoured(it's just one scoop but there is a strawberry, mocha/chocolate and something else in it ) ice cream, it muddled the whole taste. Price wise, it's very affordable, which is why it would really be a shame to have such a nice place, excellent staff, friendly price but so-so food.
