Pasta + Risotto

♥ Linguini Gorgonzola famiglia (440 php)

The Linguini Gorgonzola is a pasta topped with chicken tenders and sun dried tomato bits in gorgonzola cream sauce.  I love the softness of the chicken and the sweet chewy sun dried tomatoes.  The gorgonzola cream sauce had a great blend too.  

♥ Conchiglie con Frutti di Mare famiglia (420 php)

The Conchiglie con Frutti di Mare is seafood pasta in creamy tomato sauce.  I always thought of creamy tomato sauce as a compromise between red sauce and cream sauce.  You get to enjoy the rich tangy tomato sauce together with some creaminess.  I enjoyed this with bits of fish, shrimp and calamari.

Chicken Pancetta (280 php)

The Chicken Pancetta is pancetta slices and cheese wrapped in chicken roasted in olive oil served with farfalle noodles .  I personally found the chicken a bit dry.  But, it was very flavorful especially with the cheese and pancetta slices within it.  The farfalle noodles were light in flavor as if it was a plain staple.  It is also served with bits of zucchini and eggplant.

Eggplant Parmigiana (220 php)

Upon serving, I was shocked with the appearance of the Eggplant Parmigiana.  The eggplant slices looked like it bathed in red tomato sauce mixed with the oil from all the mozzarella and feta cheese.  Although the egg plant slices was cooked just right, the tomato sauce wasn't thick and chunky enough for me.

Pazzo Rollio

Sicily famiglia (445 php)

Of course, we ordered panizza.  Our first option was the Sicily.  It had chicken strips, artichioke hearts, sundried tomato, garlic and cheese sauce.  I love the simplicity and medley of flavors.  However, I noticed that the panizza was too oily so it was a bit soggy as I rolled it.

♥ Primavera famiglia (375 php)

I enjoyed the Primavera famiglia more than the Sicily, because it was lighter.  It's a vegetable lovers choice since its composed of zucchini, fresh tomato, sundried tomato, asparagus slices and cheese sauce.  


The panizza is served with a generous amount of arugula and alfalfa.  No need to ask for refills. =D

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Foccacia offers a taste of Italy in the midst of the busy City of Makati.  They offers a wide array of Italian dishes at affordable pricing.  Their serving size is pretty good and they don't scrimp on the ingredients.

I am so glad to have witnessed the opening of Domino's A. Venue.   Domino's A. Venue is the fifth branch to open.  The store is very visible from the Makati Avenue side. 

The opening ceremony was done simply and in a conventional way.  There was a short prayer, blessing and the throwing of coins and candies.  

The staffs were in a cheerful mood and was ready to serve.  For its grand opening, Domino's A. Venue had a buy 1 take 1 promo.  There were a lot of customers who ordered and availed of their promo.  Who wouldn't right?  They serve fresh and tasty pizzas.  I'm sure with more branches, Domino's can now continue providing the best service including its 30 minutes guaranteed delivery.  

Can't wait to try their pizza selections and share the experience with you guys!  Till next time! =)
