Amici is known for their pizza, pasta and gelato. It was originally located in Don Bosco Makati and founded by an Italian priest. People would flock to their small canteen just to have a taste of their authentic Italian dishes. It was eventually bought by a major food conglomerate and now operates in different parts of the metro.
While waiting for our dishes to be served, Andrew was busy playing with his new toys from Tita Moe.
First dish served was the Spaghetti alla Carbonara. This cream based pasta with mushrooms and bacon is my son's favorite. I guess, cream-based pasta lovers would agree that this carbonara is good.
Then came the Linguine Fantastico. The saltiness from the prosciutto complemented the stewed tomatoes. This pasta dish is one of the best I've tasted.
For the pizza, we chose the Pesto di Aglio. This specialty pizza of Amici consists of pesto sauce, Italian sausage, mushrooms and roasted garlic cloves. For me, it's a bit indulgent (from the Italian sausage and cheese) but at the same time, the pesto sauce makes it a healthier choice.
For dessert, my friend and my son each had a scoop of Cara Mia gelato. I must say it is as creamy as the ones in the streets of Rome and my son definitely agrees!
A decent meal at Amici would set you back at least 300+ pesos per person but you will definitely leave the place with full stomachs.
