The S'mores Banana Boat with Big Oven Brownies and Butterscotch is a one of a kind treat that's a highly customizable creamy, gooey, sweet and crunchy treat. Preparation is fun for kids to do too.

| S'mores Banana Boat |
We specially chose the Big Oven Brownies and Big Oven Butterscotch in bite-size because it is the same size as one slice of banana. The individual pack makes it so convenient especially if you're going to do these s'mores outdoors.

Marcia Adam's is one of my aunt's favorite places and because she super adored every visit, we were convinced to visit it too.
I've read in blogs that we should reserve ahead because they have limited dining space so we did.
To our surprise, the place was huge and there were different types of dining areas.
Since we had a reservation, we were ushered to our allocated table passing by the lush green garden.
and other dining areas.
I can see why my aunt loved it here. Everything is artsy from the structures even to the littlest details like the utensils.
Dining here felt like your in the comforts of your own home but with the refreshing atmosphere of your dream garden.
It was a cool drizzling day but being in Marcia Adam's Tuscany made us feel like we were bask in bright sunshine and embraced by the colors of spring flowers.
It's amazing how so many different things chime in as one. The food takes a while to be served but we didn't mind as we found the place enchanting and we took it a chance to have a fun bonding time.
Food
Having travelled all the way there, we appreciated the Complimentary Bread as soon as it landed on our well-decorated table.
Salads (additional 75 php to substitute the included appetizer)
The Provolone Melon and Arugula Salad was served in a beautiful form of a flower. It has some proscuitto, provolone cheese, arugula and melon balls. It was sprinkled with a sweet and tangy raspbery vinaigrettte.
Appetizers
For such a cold weather, the Bacon and Potato gave us a pleasing warmth from our mouths to our bellies.
The Amalfi Prawns are rather small fried and bread prawns with subtle marinade of salt, pepper, olive oil and parsley. Perhaps, I was too famished as it only took me a few seconds to pop these onto my mouth and they were gone.
Main Course (Minimum of 700 php per person and comes with the appetizer and dessert
Kebabs
The Beef Tenderloin and Bacon Kebabs was one of the best dishes that we tried. The beef tenderloin was so savory and succulent. The only draw back was that we were almost finished before this dish was served.
The Fish Souvalaki for that day was tanigue. It was somewhat dry so we regretted not ordering a more meaty option instead.
The Grilled Aromatic Pork is a must try! I can't really pinpoint their blend of herbs and spices but it was definitely good!
The Italian Pork Chop was something new for us as well. It was not the usually sweet marinade that we are used to. It was lightly seasoned.
Stews and Casserole
Prior to this, the only bean stew I've tried is the canned Hunt's Pork and Beans. Since the price disparity is huge, the taste is also that much of a difference. I loved the Spanish Bean Stew! But I think I'll settle for the canned version for most days due to affordability.
The Spanish Chicken Casserole was another dish that gained most approval. It's so good, it will make you eat more rice!
Pasta
The Ai Funghi was simple but the freshness of the mushrooms gave it a big boost.
I liked that the Bolognese was tangy rather than sweet but other than that, it didn't have much leverage compared to the other dishes.
Desserts
The Panna Cotta with Lemon Sauce is a great way to end the meal. It's citrus flavors will cleanse and refresh your palate.
The Strawberry Yoghurt Ice Cream with Berry Compote brings a mellow tangy berry flavor that will reset your tongue into clean cool slate.
The Banana Split with Chocolate Ice Cream is my least favorite dessert. THe fried banana slices and chocolate were too heavy for a finale.
The best choice but comes with additional price is the Lemon Cheesecake.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Marcia Adam's Tuscany offers a unique atmosphere paired with their unique quality menu selections. Other than being expensive and far from the city, I don't see any drawbacks that would hinder you from dining here. I highly suggest it for dates and all types of intimate occasions. And, they change their menu every season so more reason to go back again.

The space is quite limited and narrow. The walls are plain white with a few hanged frames. It had a few tables wooden tables paired with red cushioned booths. It could cater up to eight groups in total. The clay tiles gave it an olden feel. There were four huge ice cream chillers as they boast to offer thirty flavors of ice cream.
