Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen - Ayala Malls Vertis North

ABBEY: We’re looking for a place to catch up with our nephews and nieces and Mama Lou’s provided just that. We talked about their careers and lovelife over dinner. 

We got two pizzas (spinach and goat cheese and pepperoni), three pasta (Vesuvio, ravioli spinach, and truffle) and fried chicken. I recommend Vesuvio not only with the beautiful presentation but also with flavor and the kick at every scoop. The raviolis are creamy and the chicken is crispy and juicy. As with the pizza they are good; dough and toppings-wise. Good thing we went there early before a long queue built up.

Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen - Ayala Malls Vertis North 

WILL: Trinoma is just unlikely to be the same as before. It feels that the mall is gloomy and lost it glory. It is crowded too! Luckily I found Vertis North Mall that housed many new restaurants like Mama Lou’s. 

We waited 30mins to have a seat and immediately order the things that appetized my eyes. For pizza we had Pepperoni and pizza with goat cheese. For pasta we had Vesuvio, Lucio’s Truffle Pasta and Ravioli Spinach. We also had a basket of Fried Chicken. Amongst all, we ordered Quattro Formaggi and Vesuvio! The pizza tastes nearing in blue cheese side. The Vesuvio’s pasta is perfectly standing in a bath of sauce! 

Delighted we chose to dine and have a catch-up with my nephews and nieces here in Mama Lou’s! It not only offered us a good food but a homey feeling too!

Dear Darla Pizza by Yellow Cab Philippines

ABBEY: My wife introduced me to this unique pizza when we were dating during boyfriend/girlfriend stage. And we came to like it. 

You'll be given a pizza in which you can top it up with herbs and greenies then roll it like a burrito. The pizza is aromatic and delicious. I can finish maybe two at one sitting. What a fun way to have your dinner.

WILL: Shakey's, Pizza Hut, Manhattan, and even Domino's are here in Singapore, what I am missing? Sbarro and Yellow Cab.

When Abbey and I got the chance to splurge for some pizza on our way back here in Singapore, we easily jumped in. OMG!, so thankful to have a Yellow Cab branch at NAIA terminal 3. 

Together with Abbey's colleague, we ordered Dear Darla. With excitement, I am the one who first pull of a sheet of pizza, put the alfalfa sprouts and arugula, sprinkles with chillies, top up some of their famous oil. Wow! I can finish the whole box! I am drooling while putting these words together. Haha!

I will surely visit Yellow Cab again! Thanks my Dear Darla for satisfying my cravings!

Italianni's Philippines - TriNoMa Branch

ABBEY: We have our first dinner date at Italliani's Glorietta Branch. And Wilma paid for that. Poor me that I don't have that much money to pay for a decent dinner date. I got a taste of their house bread dipped in olive oil with balsamic vinegar. So as a re-enactment we went for lunch at their branch at Trinoma. This time it is on my tab. 

I ordered a quarter of spring chicken and I got pesto with chunks of ground beef as Wilma saw that mine got a good presentation. All our needs was finely attended. It was a great lunch; the food is flavourful and delicious, ambiance is homey and I got to have lunch there with my wife :)

WILL: Are you tired of the fastfood chain ambiance of the different pizza parlours? Well, as always, I enjoy the food more if the place is quiet and have a peaceful aura.

Tuscan and foccacia bread really captured my heart dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. That bread is a complimentary and I keep on asking for more until my order reached in front of me.

I ordered Penne with sausage but there some beef so I asked if Abbey can switch his Herb Spring Chicken for for me. Gladly I asked him to give me the chicken, it is so tender anad flavourful. Their chix alone can make my whole day happy. Haha.. 

Their people served us extensively. They keep on coming to our table to check if we like the food and we need more drinks. 

Thanks a lot italianni's for a very memorable time each time we visit any of your branch.

Spizza: Best Pizza Restaurant and Pizza Delivery in Singapore

ABBEY: It is very rewarding going to a birthday party. We went to 10th birthday bash of Spizza at Club St. They are offering their medium pizzas for 10sgd. (u.p.  starts at 15sgd). I tried their Xandra, a rich-aroma, crunchy thin crust pizza with beef, pineapple and capsicum toppings. Alongside are the condiments (chilli flakes, chilli oil, olive oil, parmesan, and salt and pepper). I also indulge in their Gnocchi. The pasta is dressed with an ample serving of thick cream sauce and cheese with cooked ham. A must-try for cheese-lovers. 

WILL: Spizza's 10th Anniversary and for bringing it back all the support that made by its diners, they offered a one-day promotion of $10.00 for a medium size pizza on any choice. We went at their 29 Club Street branch to celebrate its birthday. :)

      This is our first time to dine in their place, and I expected that the ambiance of their restaurant will be like more of fastfood chains that is in the mall but I am surprised to see the design and concept. Very romantic, ha! When walked-in, me and my husband immediately greeted their staffs a Happy Birthday and the gave back a smile to us.

      Time to fill up our tummy, I ordered a a medium size Quinta (U.P $18.00), I am really curios about the taste of Black Truffle Paste. When our pizza came out from their oven, the aroma of dough hits me really hard, it made me drool. Unlike offered by many large commercialized pizzeria, this is extra-ordinary. The taste is awesome that I can't explicate and I don't want to share it also with my husband. Haha.. Gluttony kicked in.

      After minutes of munching on my egg with black truffle paste slices, another explicit dish settled on our table. Sorry to our readers but this is my first time to eat a gnocchi. Well, we fell in love with this dumpling floating in a Gorgonzola cream with ha. Loveeeee itttttt. This costs us $17.00 and can be shared by two.

      This restaurant is very recommendable. Thanks Spizza for the promotion, more anniversary to come. Call 63777773 for delivery.
