Azzuro Restaurante Mediterraneo: Mediterranean Dinner in Century City Mall

The family wanted to check out the Century City Mall.  It was still new so there wasn't much to see so we were eager for dinner.  We were all agreed to try a restaurant that's unique to the place so we chose between Azzuro Restaurante Mediterraneo and Caliburger.  Wanting to have a more healthy and wholesome meal so decided to go for the former.

Little did we know that according to our server, Azzurro actually has other branches. 

 The restaurant is very spacious.

We opted to dine at the second floor and owned it to ourselves for that evening.

Food

Soup (Sopa)

♥ Sopa de Ajo (140 php) *split into 2

The Sopa de Ajo is a Spanish garlic soup.  It's actually my mom's favorite kind of soup.  This version has bacon so it's a bit more savory and oily than the usual but we loved it!
 

Creamy Seafood Chowder (200 php) *split into 2

 The Creamy Seafood Chowder is also a good choice for soup.

 

♥ Roasted Pumpkin & Root Vegetables Soup (140 php) *split into 2

I enjoyed my healthy choice of Roasted Pumpkin & Root Vegetables Soup.

Salad (Ensalada)

♥ Azzuro's Crisp Caesar Salad (250 php)

Their Azzuro's Crisp Caesar Salad is great version of our favorite classic salad. 

Main Course (Plato Principal)
For the main course, they have Spanish, French, Italian, Greek and Egyptian (Arabic).  The server suggested we go for the Spanish dishes because that's the chef's specialty.  The chef was said to be from Casa Armas.


Spanish

♥ Callos Madrileno (350 php)

The Callos Madrileno is really good!  It was bursting with zesty flavors and everything was tender.

Rice (Arroz)

Paella Valenciana Small (450 php)

The Paella Valenciana also met our standards.  It was generous with the toppings.  I just didn't like the kind of ham they used. 

Paella Negra Small (460 php)

The Paella Negra was good but I think it would go better with some garlic mayonnaise. 

 
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Azzuro Restaurante Mediterraneo offers interesting Mediterranean dishes for a reasonable price.  It was a good discovery for us.  The food quality, ambiance, service and pricing is good enough to draw its own crowd.  But, they may be lacking in terms of marketing.
