La Piadina at Glorietta

My favorite food?! Pasta and Pizza!!! So whenever I am asked where to eat, I almost always suggest a place that serves these two dishes, like when my sister and I took our mom for a pre-Mother's Day date, I picked La Piadina right away.

I learned of La Piadina way back in college where the first branch I've been to was in Robinsons Ermita. It was the first time I've been to a restaurant where instead of using hot sauce for the pizza, they have this tumbler of spicy olive oil with a whole clove of garlic. And that's the main reason why my Hubby who is not a fan of pizza and pasta love this place. But that was back then. Today, they don't do that anymore.

Anyway, on my mom's special day, we ordered these sumptuous dishes

• Pasta Scampi (P290.00), which is a pasta dish of spaghetti in marinara sauce (meaning the sauce is tomato-based) with real whole shrimp without the head and shell but the tail is intact and served with two slices of garlic bread. The noodles was firm (al dente!) yet the sauce stuck to it and the shrimp was plenty and cooked just right so its chewy. This dish is already good for 1-2 person.

• Spicy Arabiatta (P200.00) is also cooked in marinara sauce but the noodles used is penne. It's supposed to be spicy but for someone like me who's accustomed to eating spicy food, I find it mild so I had to add a few drops of chili oil in my serving. This pasta dish is also served with two slices of toasted garlic bread and is good for sharing of 1-2 person.

• Quattro Formaggi Pizza (P370.00) or Four Cheese Pizza is a plate-sized thin crust pizza with mouthwatering melted cheese which type I would guess includes Mozzarella and Parmesan. This was served hot so when I lifted a slice, the cheese was really sticky!!! An order is good for 2-3 persons.

After an hour and a half and finishing two pasta dishes but left two slices of pizza for take out, we were ready to call it quits.

Here's to more yummy adventures!

Happy Eating!
