Un giorno del tutto speciale

Monday (June 16) was so EXTRA special, not because I met an extraterrestrial being on earth, but because I was chosen to join the other 14 bloggers for a special lunch treat from Italianni’s.

My friends from UA&P, Alexis and Steph, were also chosen (indeed they’re very lucky as well). We arrived at exactly, 10:30am at Bonifacio High Street, Taguig. Since, we’re sooo early, we took the chance to take pictures of around Serendra like this picture below (hehe!).

Ok, finally, it’s 10:50am on my watch and we’re ready to go to Italianni’s. Actually, I’m really excited to go because I’m excited to see Ms Ann, Sir Alvin and the rest of team Yehey! The place was exclusive for the event, well not the whole vicinity of the restaurant, there’s a special place in the restaurant for special occasions I think… The interiors and the adornments in and out of the restaurant are absolutely Italian!

In our table, I met Jane, not one but two Janes The first Jane is a foodie or “buongustaia” in Italian. The other Jane is a mom and a yogi.

The program started with few introductions from Maki, Yehey!’s Marketing Associate. He also administered the game “Bring Me” with a twist, ‘coz you have to bring an extra of the item being asked. Luckily, I won P500.00 worth of Italianni’s GC and 2 Caregiver movie passes! Thanks to my EXTRA yellow shirt!

The marketing manager of Italianni’s explained about the current promo of Italianni’s, when you dine at any Italianni’s restaurant you’ll be surprised with the “extra” gift that they will offer you for FREE, I repeat for FREE. They could serve you pasta, desserts, drinks, or whatever is lacking in your order.

Here’s the picture of the EXTRA gift from Italianni’s

Mussels Lombardi (5 stars!)—see Italianni’s is so generous despite the food crisis! This one cost like Php320+ (very generous indeed!)

Here’s my favorite main dish, Grilled Pork Chops Au Poivre, I like it because I like Marsala sauce with some crushed pepper plus I really enjoyed the crispy spinach and potatoes.

Another favorite, Spinach and Artichoke Formaggio, yummy! As you can see, it’s served with toasted garlic bread… Yes, it has spinach, artichoke, and mushrooms, cream and cheese…

Here’s my fave dessert, Chocolate Pecan Cluster…

Another favorite! This is the gift from Italianni’s to Alexis, since she celebrated her birthday last June 5. New York Cheesecake + Tiramisu + Panna Cotta = delizioso!

Here are the other food we ordered, haaay... what else can I ask for... hehe.. super thanks to Italianni's and Yehey!

Sicilian Salad... I also like this... Hehe, parang lahat na lang.

Creamy Mushroom Crostinnis

Classic Carbonara (this one is also good, it's not very creamy, just right). The serving is quite enough for ONE person but the price is too expensive something like Php270+ I think... For me, I'll rate their carbonara 3 out of 5.


Fried Calamari. I forgot to try the dip! Thank God, it's not gummy!

Grilled Pepper Crusted Fish Fillet. Again, because I'm really full I forgot to try this... Hehe.

After the special lunch... Picture together with fellow bloggers and Ms. Ann.
