Eats an Adventure: The Divine Pasta and Pizza at Fruili Trattoria

Our Maginhawa adventure continued this week as we decided to eat in Fruili Trattoria, a highly recommended Maginhawa resto by some of our FB friends.

What the resto lacked in fine table linens and fancy resto furniture was more than made up by the delicious pizza and pasta that we ate there. Our favorite was the one with blue cheese!

I don't know how they were able to price it that way considering that blue cheese is a bit pricey. You can really taste and smell it in the pizza, we ended up eating two whole blue cheese pizzas!

The angel hair pasta and the tuna pasta which was cooked carbonara style were just as tasty. The restaurant was full when we got there at 12 and it was still full when we left before 3PM!

It's actually pretty rare to find a restaurant these days that can have really good food and then have them at reasonable prices! We only paid around a thousand bucks yet we ate so much! You'd never get that deal if you went to a fancy Italian resto.

The pièce de résistance for me was the dessert we had. I forgot the name but it was this big scoop of ice cream which was very tasty - it was like an ice cream bun! It was creamy and sweet - just the way I want my ice cream to taste like.

Looking forward to our next resto adventure! I should temper my appetite though because I was so full after this hearty meal!

Yummy the Food in The Breakfast Table in Maginhawa Street

I've heard about the restos in Maginhawa Street for years, but since I live near the Timog-Morato area, which also has its share of equally great and more well-known restos, I rarely checked out the restos sa Diliman area, kasi para que pa, marami na dito sa amin, veventure pa ako sa malayo.

I only realized kanina that Maginhawa pala is the street we traverse to reach CP Garcia and I pass it everyday when we send Laura to school!  Tanga lang.  I pass it naman pala everday, might as well stop once in a while there to grab a bite, yun lang if we can find parking space.

Anyway, since my BFF works near Maginhawa, I asked her to pick a resto there which we could try and she chose this cozy resto called The Breakfast Table.  

Ayun, everything we ordered was good!  I especially liked their chocolate banana loaf cake!  I ate too many slices for my own good, kaya I'm sure tumaas na naman blood sugar ko. 

Sayang lang our good friend Heidi is not with us anymore.  She was also a foodie and loved trying out new restos.  For her, we will continue that tradition.

She also took great pictures of the restos she eats in, so following her guide, I also tried to mimic how she took pictures of the food and the interior of the place.
