Capricciosa

One of my favorite things to do is Food trip with Ian or with my friends, Ever since I started to work, I realize that I need to pamper myself and give my stomach a special treat every pay day and now that I've been working for almost 5 years I'm proud to say that I almost eaten more than 200 restaurants. Every time I go to Greenbelt 3 Cinemas, I always pass by this Italian Restaurant name Capricciosa and I often tell myself that someday, i gonna check out and try this place. It just happen to come across it while we are looking for a new place to eat in Greenbelt, we decided to try it out.

Capricciosa has been recommended by some of my friends, so I had very high expectations from this place. I found out that Capricciosa is actually a Japanese chain restaurant serving Italian food. Amazing! This place is very nice, they also have cozy interiors inside, if you also want some homey ambiance better go in this place. Upon entering Capricciosa, you are immediately full view of the kitchen where you can actually see your food being prepared.

 

Since this was our first time to try this restaurant, it's been an exciting and challenging to study their menu but good thing after 5 minutes, Aloi and Rhon were ready to place our orders. Aloi order fir our appetizer, she chose Calamari Frito, a fresh squid deep fried until golden brown; it was serve with lemon and their own version of tar-tar sauce. It was the usual squid rings only but more expensive and saltier.

Calamari Frito Php 320.00

Rhon opted to try the Hamburg Neapolitan. A home made hamburger with tomato and mozzarella baked on top freshly sliced potato gratin served with 5 slices of fresh bread.

Hamburg Neapolitan Php 610.00

Aloi wants to try the Grilled Chicken with rosemary. Whole chicken baked to perfection in olive oil, marinated with rosemary and garlic cloves.

Grilled Chicken with Rosemary Php 640.00

Since I love Carbona. I order Half Carbonara for us. Spaghetti Carbonara here had their own way of cooking the famous white sauce spaghetti, topped with bacon bits, fresh egg and a dark of black pepper. The Carbonara in all its creamy goodness, the serving is almost good for 3 persons; it was placed in a deep plate where we weren't able to finish it all.

Half Carbonara Php 365.00

For the drinks, Rhon order for Calamansi Juice, Aloi chose to try the Watermelon Shake while I go for their service water.

Calamansi Juice Php 95.00

Watermelon Shake Php 95.00

Since I am Ayala Card holder, I got a free dessert; Homemade Tiramisu. Sponge cake soaked in coffee espresso topped with mascarpone and cream cheese and cocoa powder. The coffee flavor was subtle bu the cocoa powede was slightly more than I liked, the mascarpone layer though was also good.

Tiramisu Php 220.00 

Overall Capricciosa is a very nice place, their service was fast, their servers' are friendly, the food was just good, the servings were too little for its price and the prices of their dishes were awfully expensive.
