My Most Wanted: Gotti’s Ristorante

I was hungry! That is all I was thinking after that tiring morning. Good thing I have already an idea for the place of our lunch. I wanted salad and pasta for that day and I know an Italian inspired restaurant is the answer for my cravings.

Me and my sister headed to SM Megamall’s Atrium area where there are a lot of restaurants. Finally, we saw Gotti’s Ristorante. Since, it was just a quarter before noon the place was not yet crowded.

Choosing from their menu wasn’t that hard because I already know what I want. We both agreed to have Caesar Salad, Dirty Fingers and Frutti de Mare.

Their Caesar Salad is very simple. It is ideal for every person watching over their diet. It has lettuces, croutons and bacon bits. 























The Dirty Fingers is their version of chicken strips breaded with parmesan and parsley. The chicken strips are long and crispy in the outside. The honey mustard dip is just perfect for the chicken.


Shrimps, mussels and squids filled their Frutti de Mare. The rich tomato sauce makes the pasta very flavorful. I even loved the garlic bits in the sauce. The pasta that is good for sharing can feed three people.


 Good Italian food at an affordable price – that is Gotti’s Ristorante.

Silantro Night

It has been months since the last time I ate again at Silantro. Unlike the other restaurant in Kapitolyo, Silantro is a bit far and is located at the far end of the famous food street.


I heard my sister and her friends will have dinner at Silantro and without any second thoughts I insisted in joining them.

There were lots of customers waiting for their turn to be seated when we arrived in Silantro. We decided to stay and join the line of the customers. We’ve waited for almost 30 minutes before our number was called. 




















At Silantro, you are not limited to only one dip for your Nachos. There are three dips that you can choose from.


Nachos and Quesadillas are my all-time favorite at Silantro so it’s automatically included in our order. We have to order two Nachos because just one serving would not be enough to the hungry stomachs of five persons. Large chunks of shredded beef made the Nachos more tempting.


We also ordered their chicken wings. Their chicken wings have the right tangy kick. People with low tolerance on spicy food will enjoy their chicken wings.


I'm a big fan of Charlie's Burger however Silantro's Burger is also a must try. The patty is well done in the outside but the meat in the inside is just juicy!



Aside from great Mexican food they offer, the price is very reasonable.
