Cantinetta

We ate Sunday lunch at Canitinetta in Burgos Circle at the Fort yesterday. I was trying to call Taka in the morning to make reservations but no one was picking up. Apartment 1B, i found out, is closed on Sundays. Boo. I suggested Aubergine because we wanted to go to S&R after lunch but on our way there Chi said he didn't want to park there and went to Burgos Circle instead. Mom chose Cantinetta from the lot.

Warm water with Lemons, now a staple.

I was kinda upset that the table that came AFTER us got their bread basket before we did. A good while before we did. I wasn't happy with their bread-- and I LOVE bread. I usually get full from the bread basket already. Or maybe I don't eat carbs anymore-- for the past month at least that it doesn't make me happy anymore?? Could this be true? But Bread and Cheese are my first loves. 

Mom's Crema di Fungi

Cream of Porcini Mushroom Soup

Didn't try it.

Spinaci e Funghi al Vino Bianco

Sauteed Spinach and Mushroom in White Wine Sauce

I originally wanted the Caprese and was disappointed when the waitress came back saying it wasn't available :( But this dish was really good. Although button mushrooms are the only mushrooms not allowed--- pwede na yan.

Grilled Seafood

Prawns, Squid and Blue Marlin

This dish was 850 pesos but there was so much. More then enough for two. It was really fresh and light. The Blue Marlin was really yummy but I didn't eat much of it because it isn't on my list. 

There was so much I ate half of this and half of my spinach and mushrooms and ate the rest for breakfast this morning. 

Chi's Steak

It was cooked to perfection. The potatoes were yummy too!

 Mom's Puttanesca

Had a bite. Yummy :)

The ground floor was full so we were led upstairs. It kinda feels like a dungeon in there.. But I think pretty much all the restaurants in Burgos Circle have that dark feeling inside.
Loved the Food, didn't like the place. Price wasn't all that bad if we had shared since servings were big.
