We were served their complimentary bread with salsa dip and liver spread while waiting for our food.
My shake of choice: Watermelon Shake
My Tartufo which is pasta cooked in truffle cream sauce and parma ham. (P550)
The pasta was good. I loved its creamy sauce. It's not dry and It has made me love Tartufo pasta more :)
And the star of the night goes to BF's Bistecca Alla Cantinetta
(500G choice boneless ribeye rubbed with herbs tuscan style P380 per 100g)
Flavor and tastewise - it was good. The beef was tender and we were given the chance to try and have all their 4 sauces for the steak. But what disappointed us was the fact that the menu says it's 500grams, and we actually expected the beef to be 500grams, but at seeing the plate, i guess they've weighed the steak with the plate to come up with 500grams. The beef was supposed to be half a kilo but in seeing and judging from the picture, i guess you'd agree with me that it's not as it was supposed to weigh. And BF told me that he saw from the blogs he've read a picture of a real 500g bistecca alla cantinetta and it was WAY bigger, even enough to feed 3-4 people! Those pictures were the reason why he was so eager to try Cantinetta out in the first place.
We weren't that happy about the price not because the steak cost us P380 per 100g (or P1900) but because the steak wasn't the 500g they claimed it to be. We might not dine in cantinetta again unless we won their trip to Italy raffle. LOL. So far, it was still a 'funny' night with bf. Teasing him about 'getting over' the rib eye issue for he kept on ranting (in a funny way) the whole night :))
spotted in cantinetta: Karylle Padilla (with her fresh look and simple style)
